Larchmont and Mamaroneck are continuing to recover from last Saturday night's storm, as hundreds in the area have had their power restored and are returning to life as usual. 

The storm, which left thousands without power and caused extensive damage throughout the tri-state area, stands as one of the worst on record.  Now down to 24,000 customers with outages in Westchester, hundreds of Larchmont-Mamaroneck residents started to see the light at the end of the storm tunel as of late Tuesday, and municipal and Con Edison crews have cleaned up much of the debris, but a few hundred remain in the dark.

This morning, Con Edison reported that the Town and Village of Mamaroneck have 47 customers without power, down from just under 1,000 in the Town and 650 in the Village yesterday. Larchmont's number is still at 220. In the Village of Mamaroneck and the Town of Rye (Rye Neck), there are 14 remaining outages.

As of mid-Tuesday, Harbor Heights in Mamaroneck had pretty much returned to normal.  Local resident Christine Torre had her power restored at 3:30am on Tuesday after having been in the dark since Saturday afternoon.  Having left Mamaroneck to stay with her in-laws in White Plains, Torre is glad that "everything's back," and now she and her neighbors are "just trying to clean up the debris."

Orienta, which is one of the most vulnerable local communities due to its proximity to the Long Island Sound, seemed to also have had its power restored as of mid-late Tuesday, although the area is still suffering from extensive property damage.  Resident Erica Cohn, who had her power back late Monday afternoon, said that she was very happy to have power, but still had the floods in her basement to take care of.  Another resident, who identified herself as Randi, noted that many of her neighbors had been evacuated on Saturday, while she and her husband left for a hotel with their two-year-old son.  While lights in the area seem to be on for the most part, heavy debris is still a common sight, with fallen trees on lawns and tarps on roofs visible on many streets.

As of Tuesday evening, the Town of Mamaroneck was making big strides toward getting power back in everyone's homes.  At around 6 p.m., Ian Rhodes, who lives near Brookside Drive off of Weaver Street, was still without power, while his family was able to maintain their heat and refrigerator by sharing power with their neighbors, who have an automatic, natural gas generator.  Around this time, Con Edison and Town crews were working to restore power on Murray Avenue.  As of around 8 p.m., these areas were back on the grid.

Parts of the Village of Larchmont are with electricity, while others are still without power.  Most of the houses along Larchmont Avenue had their lights on as of early Tuesday evening, while several businesses and streetlights along the Boston Post Road were still dark.  Likewise, the Larchmont Public Library is still closed.

ConEdison expects to have all storm-related outages in Westchester restored on Friday, and will continue to distribute dry ice in New Rochelle, 90 Beaufort Pl., and in White Plains at Saxon Woods Park, 1800 Mamaroneck Ave., until 8 p.m. tonight. Those still without power and/or heat can contact the company at 1.800.75.CONED.
