A massive tree came down on a busy Huntington Station street during the height of the nor’easter, leaving neighbors without power and blocking driveways.
The tree fell on East 21st Street between New York Avenue and Charles Place. Residents say they have been without power since Saturday as crews work to address downed wires in the area.
One resident says he contacted the Town of Huntington and PSEG Long Island Saturday morning with concerns about the tree before it ultimately came down hours later.
Neighbors say they put up their own caution tape to warn drivers to avoid the street because of the tree and wires.
Residents say the lack of communication has been one of their biggest frustrations as they wait for answers about when the power will be restored and when the tree will be removed.
“We couldn’t even get an answer on when the power lines would be taken out and cut,” Huntington Station resident Daniel Marcovici said. “There were live wires in the street and it took them until the next day to let us know they cut the power.”
News 12 reached out to the Town of Huntington and PSEG Long Island for information on when crews will assess the damage, remove the tree and restore power to the affected area.
