08/29/11 Greenwich Roundup's "Operation Storm Center" Bunker Is Closed: The Town's Hardest Working Reporter Is Returning To His 32 Field Point Offices

HERE IS THE LATEST GREENWICH NEWS ABOUT THE AFTERMATH OF IRENE AND HOW TOWN RESIDENTS WILL BE EFFECTED:

Rampant coastal flooding, rivers and streams throughout Greenwich were well above flood stages, leading to several emergency evacuations.

The number of Greenwich residents without power is close to 14,000.

The eye of the storm passed through Greenwich at high tide, causing a nightmarish situation.

Hurricane Gloria hit during low tide during 1985, resulting in storm surges around 5 to 6 feet. The 1938 hurricane hit during high tide, causing extensive damage.

Hurricane / Tropical Storm Irene is officially "Post Tropical". The last public advisory was just issued by the National Hurricane Center.

But here comes Jose ....

Tropical Storm Jose: 12 AM ET, 40 mph winds, 1008 mb, moving N at 21 mph

There will be quiet weather today-upper 70s under sunshine.

For Those In The Dark: At 9am Rabbi Mitch at Temple Sholom offers kosher food, coffee, electricity to charge mobile devices and computers, and WiFi access

Town officials have consolidated the two shelters it operated as Irene rolled in Saturday evening - neither shelter was at capacity.

First Selectman Peter Tesei is sleeping at town hall due to a lack of power at home.

Parking rules will be suspended Monday, but will resume Tuesday.

Byram beach will be closed Monday, with an anticipated reopening Tuesday. The beach experienced moderate erosion, downed trees, a partial seawall collapse and a boat that grounded on the beach.

Byram Park will be open Monday, while Greenwich Point will open to boaters at noon, but only to those who present a boater identification.

Ferry service for Great Captains Island has been canceled for Monday and will be resumed Friday, while ferry service for Island Beach, where a section of the pier dislodged in the storm, is canceled for Monday and Tuesday.

The town Emergency Operations Center will be open Monday, with officials planning to make an announcement about the state of emergency by afternoon.

Public Schools will still start for Greenwich public school students as planned on Thursday, but all activities, mostly athletic practices, have all been cancelled for tomorrow.
