As the remnants of Hurricane Irene push North, residents in Smithtown are finding trees and wires down on properties and roadways, leaving thousands without power in the area from St. James to Commack.
All traffic lights are currently out on Main Street in Smithtown with police only directing traffic at the corner of Route 111 and Main Street.
Many side streets are blocked to traffic with some residents already out with chain saws. Willow Avenue is currently blocked off from a large tree that fell as is Prinston Avenue and River Road at Edgewood.
Stay tuned for updates.
