>October 2011 Snow Storm Blackout
I would like to give a round of applause to Ridgewood OEM for opening a shelter for those who did not have power! Oh wait they didn’t. Many of my elderly neighbors who did not have any friends or relatives to stay with were left all alone in the cold darkness. When they called the Ridgewood Police they were told they can go a shelter in Hackensack. All Ridgewood schools were closed which is a great location to open one, but still nothing was done. These are rare occasions that we get blackouts and you would think that the village would help its residents. Sunday evening was 28 degrees! All in all Ridgewood is a very elite town and does have an enormous amount of events for its residents. The least they can do is open a shelter for those with no power in below freezing conditions. Way to go Ridgewood, keep up the lack of work!
