As the city of Oswego continues to recover from the devastating storm that occurred yesterday, we want to remind residents how to remain safe in the affected areas. The storm left several neighborhoods with trees down, utility poles broken, and downed wires. Current estimations from National Grid state that 21,000 residents are without power in the Central New York area and their officials were unsure when power will be restored. National Grid has arranged several pick-up points for dry ice, water, and more information regarding the power outages.

In the moments after the storm passed last night (July 8) the proprietor of one of the country’s few remaining drive-in theaters stood quietly near the projection room looking toward the destroyed movie screen. “It’s going to be a few days before we know what the insurance will say,” Midway Drive-In Theater owner John Nagelschmidt said.
