🌱 North Fork Daily: Winds Topple Poles + Free COVID-19 Tests
The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today on the North Fork.
Good morning, North Fork friends. Mother Nature brought heavy winds to our area Saturday night, toppling utility poles that left both lanes on the Orient causeway closed for some time.
Also this week, free COVID-19 tests will be distributed at Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell's office.
Sunday's Cutchogue St. Patrick's Day Parade brought out a happy crowd; stay tuned for a huge photo gallery from the parade that I'll be posting today.
Until tomorrow, stay warm and safe. . .
