Scarsdale cleaning up nicely
Bonnie Emanuel, 45, one of the roughly 2,000 customers without electricity in Scarsdale, says the one thing she missed most since Tuesday night’s storm is her blow dryer.
“Today, I’m fine. Yesterday, I was a little hairy,” Emanuel said.
She said she’s been relying heavily on the kindness of neighbors with electricity to charge her cell phone and power her blow dryer.
With her two young sons at day camp and her husband, Julian, a trader, at his job in Manhattan, Emanuel’s spent part of the afternoon getting an estimate for the damage to her roof.
The family rented a car to replace the one that’s stuck underneath a massive maple tree and ordered in Chinese for dinner last night. Thankfully, Emanuel says, the cooler weather hasn’t made her miss air conditioning yet.
