Monday Afternoon update 9-24-12

We have crews throughout the  borough assessing the damage to roads and structures.  We will begin to get the numbers tomorrow.  It will take several days to get a ball park figure on how much and where the damage is.

We have heard from the crews that they are finding a lot of roads are undercut and debris is in the roads.

The weather is forecasted to hold some showers after Midnight, not much accumulation.  Winds  will be variable from the North East about 15 knots.
