Orange and Rockland Utilities is gearing up for a nasty storm heading our way tonight and into tomorrow. O&R spokesman Mike Donovan says the company’s emergency response workforce is ready to handle damage and power outages that could result from strong gusty winds, heavy rainfall and inland flooding throughout the region starting 7pm tonight into the early morning hours tomorrow.
O&R says don’t touch or approach any downed wires, they could be energized and dangerous. Call O&R immediately at 1-877-434-4100, and call local police to divert traffic until an O&R crew arrives.
