Woodstock Emergency Managers met this morning and have this to report: “We did pretty well. We’re okay.”Managers are also wanting to get out the word out and a big message to one and all: THANK YOU FOR BEING PREPARED!
Emergency Services Manager L.D. Sutherland, Jr. and Municipal Manager Phil Swanson agree that even though the bulk of the rain and wind and damage went far south of us, it was a VERY GOOD EXERCISE for everyone to be prepared — even if we did not get hit hard (Well, wasn’t Irene enough?!).
Woodstock Roads Foreman Dave Green reports quite a few trees down around the Town but no road closures. Happy Valley Road had several trees down.
While the worst of the storm may have passed, Green warns that trees and limbs will still be coming down throughout the day so caution is still urged.
We know Mr. Green may not be thought of as the most “touchy-feely” kinda’ guy cause, you know, he has lots of work to get done. But, we must note for the record that he put out a very sweet message last night on the emergency management Twitter feed: Woodstock Cares!
