Southold Had 'Very Little' Storm Damage: Supervisor

SOUTHOLD, NY — Despite Mother Nature's best efforts, Southold Town held its own during Monday's nor'easter, according to town officials.

Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell said the town emerged virtually unscathed.

"We had very little damage," he said. There were some scattered power outages that were restored quickly and some isolated areas where the water breached and required re-routing of traffic, Russell noted.

One road, Skunk Lane in Cutchogue, had to be closed temporarily due to flooding, Russell said.

"The town fared well," said Southold Town Highway Superintendent Vincent Orlando.

The main impact, he said, is "just a large amount of small branches around town the highway crews are cleaning up."

The morning's 9 a.m. high tide, Orlando said, has caused low-lying areas to flood, including Peconic Bay Boulevard, Cedar Beach, and Grathwohl Road in New Suffolk
