I want to turn things over right now to the Clarkstown town supervisor George Homan. He is joining us this morning letting us know how clean up is shaping up in that area. George, how are things looking? So, uh last night between seven and 10 with the heavy rain, we had a bunch of closures, um, handful of roads. Uh uh Pretty much all of those roads are open. We do have two areas that are slightly affected. Uh Pascack Road in Anu right underneath the route 59 by Perlman Drive. It's near the Spring Valley Marketplace. Uh There was a partial wash out of the road um, last night. So, um uh there is um uh that road is down to one lane. Um It's been blocked off. We've got emergency crews over there and there'll be an emergency repair that will have to take place. Um So be careful and that will impact some um some of the local traffic around the Spring Valley marketplace on Pasco Road and also the uh flyover bridge. You know, we're fortunate down down in route 59 in West N, we typically get a lot of flooding there. Uh route 59 did not flood but the flyover bridge that leads from 59 onto uh the Palisades Mall property uh is closed because there is flooding um at the entrance to the flyover bridge. Um So all in all, we dodged a bullet. It's still raining over here and then you add, um, you know, um, yeah, in Clarkstown. Uh uh but uh we were fortunate last night, it was looking really bad, uh, with a bunch of road closures, but thankfully they're all open. We didn't have any power outages either. Um, you know, so we dodged a bullet on this one, but we do have another round of wet weather moving our way. What is your priority gonna be with this in mind for what's coming Friday into Saturday? Yeah. So, I mean, this time of year, uh, we have to be like on a continued heightened state of awareness. And so, um, our emergency management team will, uh, be meeting again later in the week. Uh, the highway department trucks and, and crews are prepared and prepped. Uh, our emergency management team has been in contact with our local utilities and, uh, we'll, we'll be ready to go. Uh, hopefully, uh, hopefully we can dodge a bullet on that one too, but it's, um, this time of year, I mean, and heading in heading into the storm season and, and just our, our caution to the residents is, you know, please folks, I mean, we dodge a bullet on this one but don't drive into, you know, deep standing water on roadways. People think that they can get through and, and, and oftentimes they can't, you know, and we end up with water rescues, thankfully, that didn't happen this time. And if you're sending down power lines, you know, don't approach them, stay away from them. So that's our caution to the residents and know that we'll be ready and prepared with our team here in Clarkstown. Very good. Hoping that everyone does heed that caution. And also we'll be checking in with you throughout the rest of the week and into the weekend to see how things shape up and hopefully things stay relatively calm in your stretch. Thank you, George Hallman. Great. Thanks Tara. Have a great day, everybody.
