Lawn upgrade downgraded
Elliott and Judy Resnick of White Plains are Hillair Circle residents who have done their best to get through the extended power outage. They lost power during the storm Tuesday night, and did not have it by late this morning. “It’s sort of a helpless feeling,� Elliot Resnick said.
He took his second straight day off of work today because of the condition of his driveway and the road near his house. He plans to be at work tomorrow.
The Resnicks recently gave their front lawn an $8,000 upgrade, but the storm broke trees and covered the grass in branches. “This is an exercise in futility,� Judy Resnick said as she swept some branches off of her front walkway.
Neither of them has left the house since the storm, but have nearly run out of food and may go out to eat tonight. One of Elliott’s co-workers did bring over a small generator for them at one point, which has given them two hours of light, refrigeration and cell phone battery power. Judy believes that wasn’t enough to save the refrigerated food from spoiling, though.
“I don’t know if there’s anything you can do (to prepare) except possibly have a generator on hand,� she said. “I know I have people around who can help us out if we need.�
