Tropical Storm Isaias takes toll on the North Shore By SCoTT BriNToN and Mike CoNN sbrinton@liherald.com. mconn@liherald.com
Tropical Stor m Isaias rolled across Nassau County Tuesday afternoon with relatively little rain but with sustained winds in the 30- to 50-mph range, with some gusts in excess of 70 mph, downing trees throughout the region, with some falling on homes. The North Shore was
no exception. As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, PSEG reported, “Tropical Storm Isaias was one of the strongest to reach the service area in years, causing widespread, severe damage. Some outages could last for an extended period. Strong winds and hazardous gusts downed trees, branches and wires, currently affecting more than 368,000 of our 1.1 million customers across Long Island and the
Rockaways. We have already restored power to more than 36,000 customers.” Sea Cliff Mayor Edward Lieberman said he left his home when the wind was strongest in the early afternoon, on his way to his office to officiate a wedding. As he stepped onto 8th Avenue, he said, he watched a tree snap and tumble into the street, completely blocking it. Continued on page 3
