Drained and confused
Staff writer Jorge Fitz-Gibbon reports from Rye that pumps are operating all over the place to drain several feet of floodwater, with plenty of damage to first-floor homes and businesses – including the Poningo firehouse and the YMCA on Locust Avenue.
Locust Avenue resident Florim Xhema, who said his downstairs neighbor had to throw everything out, described an unreal scene.
“I haven’t ever seen it on TV like this, not even on fantasy shows,” he told Jorge this morning.
