Blast of Gusty Winds Plunges Capital Region into Darkness
Strong and gusty winds wreaked havoc across the Capital Region on Monday, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. The impact was far-reaching, affecting key locations such as Indian Ladder Farms in Altamont and Siena College in Loudonville, alongside numerous homes and businesses throughout the area.
Indian Ladder Farms and Siena College faced significant disruptions as trees succumbed to the powerful winds. Simultaneously, in Troy, a small landslide on Spring Avenue, between Walker and Linden Avenue, resulted in roadblocks, with police redirecting drivers to ensure public safety.
In response to the crisis, work crews from the Department of Transportation and National Grid took swift action to clear affected areas. Notably, in Troy, strategic measures were implemented to relocate poles from one side of the street to the other.
This tactical move aimed to minimize the risk of trees falling on wires, a major contributor to power outages. The chosen side of the street, being flatter and devoid of trees, showcased a meticulous approach to mitigating further disruptions.
The collaboration between the Department of Transportation and National Grid underscored a united front in addressing the challenges posed by the gusty winds.
As crews worked tirelessly to restore normalcy, their commitment to staying on the scene until everything was clear demonstrated a dedication to public safety and the efficient restoration of essential services.
