180 & 170 E Hartsdale Ave were evacuated last night. We opened up the multipurpose center at Veteran Park for the residents but all of apartment residents chose to stay at friends homes or at the Marriott. So, we closed down the emergency shelter at 2 AM. There is flooding in the basement of 160 E Hartsdale Ave but the building was not evacuated. Stores on E Hartsdale Ave have flooding problems - many will not open today (possibly longer). The following streets are either closed or partially closed: Beaver Hill, Warehouse, Saw Mill River Road, part of S Central Ave, Old Tarrytown Road (between Hillside and Manhattan), parts of Jackson, Old Sprain, Lawrence, Fairview Park.
Thanks to the fire depts for pumping out basements that were flooded and to the highway dept and police depts for their hard work.

How about a fund to help our neighbors I don't speak for all but I am sure that there are those that can use help through this time. I would be willing to make a contribution to those of our town people.
If you provide me with your name and address I will advise the residents.
These updates are helpful.
What are we going to do about the people on Babbit Court? They go through this several times a year large storm or not. THEY NEED A RETAINING WALL.
Where is Babbit Court?
Homews should NEVER have been built on Babbit Court. It lies in the flood plane of the Saw Mill River. There are reports of floods in the area in Westchester County's archives going back to the earliest records. Only a corrupt building inspector and a greedy contractor would have considered the neighborhood suitable for development.
Caveat Emptor.
How long ago were these homes built?
