An uprooted tree downed the electrical wires and blocked Pine Brook Drive.

A downed transformer and a tree that toppled onto the power lines on Hall Avenue kept a swath of Larchmont dark for 5 days. Photo above by Elaine Profilet, at right by Dominic Schmitt.

A 36-foot sailboat, Westerleigh, was tossed high up on the rocks at Manor Park. Cellphone reception was better in the park than at home, where the landlines were out, reported Donna Coleman, from New Rochelle. At the Larchmont Yacht Club, Ernesto drove the Sound water over the sea wall inundating the beach, docks, lanes and diving board. hoto by Mike Weinstein (left), Judy Silberstein (above) and Kinnan O'Connell, below.
