POST 2011 STORM, POLE SNAPS ON BROOK STREET

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

POST STORM SUNDAY NIGHT UPDATED:

Residents on Brook St. were evacuated last night when a telephone pole snapped and brought down several along with it. 


They were taken to the municipal building. 

Click on the photo. We'll keep you posted when the repair is made.

  1. Thank you. Alot of people especially the elderly are still without power or phones. Why not stop in to see if they need anything.

  2. I think some of the problem here is that these transformers are way too heavy for these pole and that some of these poles haven't been replaced in decades. It may be cheaper to use wooden poles but in the end, if you're going to have all your lines above ground instead of buried like newer communities, is there really any savings when events like these occur.
