The Nor'easter that barreled through the Hudson Valley bringing torrential downpours and strong winds has left thousands without power while resulting in some flooded roadways.

Traffic is moving well on most major roadways in the area, including I-287, but several roads are closed due to downed trees, including Route 139 in Northern Westchester.
