Red Hook Homes Recovering After Severe Damage
After days of scarce aid, Red Hook residents received national media attention and on the ground help. National Grid began assessing damage on October 30 and aims to restore gas by November 12, with 34 manholes opened on Van Brunt. Water removal, equipment replacement, and inspections followed, while power restoration lagged behind. Verizon trucks joined the response as crews worked to push water from pipes and restart heat and gas services.
