Still Without Power? Central Hudson Releases Update After Sunday

I don't know about anyone else, but Sunday's storm felt like it came out of nowhere! I was picking up food when I got the weather alert come through. By the time I got home, the winds were howling! As I'm walking in my front door, I hear a crack come from the back of the house. I go over to investigate, and a small tree fell right by our house. Thank God it didn't hit the house, but it was scary nonetheless. Fortunately one thing that did not happen was that we did not lose power; however, it sounds like I'm one of the few.
