POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- With no one other than police, firefighters and utility workers approved to drive on Dutchess County roads for the time being, County Executive Marc Molinaro said two major storms in one week have put the strain on.

"The biggest concern at the moment is that there are still those without electricity," Molinaro said. "There are some areas of Dutchess – some roadways – that because of down utility poles and down power lines, just won't be able to be maintained."

About 180 poles were put on the ground during this past weekend's storm, and there were 1,000 reports of damage, according to Central Hudson Vice President of Public Relations Denise Vanburen. Vanburen also said some of the repairs are temporary fixes, meant to last only until Central Hudson workers have enough time to do permanent repairs.

"We have made repairs that were are confident will hold through this current weather system that is coming through," Vanburen said. "That, of course, is dependent on how much snow we receive, how heavy and wet it is.

Vanburen said, at 110,000 customers without power at the peak of the last storm, the storm was the "fourth worst in our history."

State Sen. Sue Serino emerged from the same emergency response meeting with concerns about trees and poles that are still barely standing.

"With this on top of the other storm, there's a worry about some more trees coming down, especially with the ground being a little soft too," said Serino, R-Hyde Park. "Are we going to see more? It's a little scary, especially since, some people just got their power back."
