About 6 residents of 180 East Hartsdale Ave are being evacuated to the multipurpose center at AF Veteran Town Park due to flooding. Central Ave is closed from the 4 corners to South Washington Ave. Jackson is closed at Old Jackson, Nepperhan Ave in North Elmsford is also closed. 9A in the area of Warehouse Lane is closed. Babbitt Court is flooded. Stores on E Hartsdale Ave have experienced flooding in their basements --it's possible that some or all of the stores could be closed due to flooding. The flooding around town is pretty extreme.
About a year ago I requested the town to start placing emergency generators in town owned buildings. Tonights evacuation highlights the need for buildings to have generators in them --so they could be used for evacuations when there are emergencies, power outages, floods. This is the first time that a town building is being used for emergency shelter, to the best of my knowledge. The town hall will be retrofitted this year for an emergency generator.

no one needed to go to the multipurpose building. one person was transported to a hotel. All other residents of 180 East found accomodations elsewhere.
Good job
But not yours.
