Parts of the City of Newburgh, as well as, the Town of Newburgh did not get power back on until Monday or Tuesday, some on Wednesday. Downed trees, tree limbs, and wires had to be cleaned from the streets in the city and town. There was more damage then one might think. Be thankful that some one was thinking about those of us with tree damage to homes, cars, etc., and loss of power. It was a damaging snow storm; be thankful you did receive a phone call due to the extensive damage to power, telephone, cable lines, transformers, and substations that provide power. If you were one of the lucky ones that had power during the course of the snow storm (during and after) count your blessings.
