WPCNR WEATHER SCOOP. From a White Plains CitizeNetReporter. February 13, 2008 UPDATED: An all day rain preceeded by a snow and ice storm created extensive flooding around Westchester County today. In White Plains, observers report the Bronx River Parkway is closed due to flooding as of late Wednesday evening.
At the Michaelian Office Building electricity was cut to the building by a short circuit which occurred underground causing a minor fire. This occurred approximately midday. The WPCNR correspondent reports the County Office Building will be open tomorrow. The cause of the short was waters seeping into a Con Edison vault and touching the transformers supplying electricity to the building according to a Westchester County spokeperson. Employees were evacuated and sent home.
Our correspondent also reports Con Edison noted some trees down along Soundview Avenue today causing scattered outages.
