After the overwhelming storm on March 13, the Town of Mamaroneck as well as many other towns in the county were devastated after winds reaching 70 mph toppled dozens of trees and power lines. In the aftermath, over 1,000 homes were without electricity, and fallen trees blocked multiple roads. 

Anne Monteith, a Larchmont resident, almost lost her home. “A huge old tree in the park behind my house was uprooted and fell across Kane Avenue,” Montieth said. “I think it missed a junction box and a house by a few feet. Had it fallen the other way, I wouldn't have a house.” 
  Equally destructive was the flooding that took place. Larchmont firefighters pumped out the basements of 13 residences as well as the Larchmont Temple. 

Flooding also occurred on grass fields like Flint Park and Hampshire Golf Course, where the heavy rains caused large bodies of water to form. 
  In the days following the storm, recovery was quickly in progress. Though Con Edison was able to restore much of the lost power by the next day, hundreds of unlucky residents were stranded without power for up to a week. 
  “It is unfortunate that some residents did not have power for a while,” said Julie Zilberberg, another local resident. “If Larchmont had already buried its power lines underground, we would not have to worry about trees falling on power lines during storms.” 
  Many were forced to stay at hotels while the power was out, but those who have generators were able to use them to power needed appliances. 
  Blocked roads were almost immediately cleared, and no significant injuries were reported in the area. Over time the water cleared from the fields, and the parks were restored and cleaned of debris. 
  Damages to private property were not substantial and therefore easily amended. “One of our trees pulled up, leaning onto our neighbor’s roof,” said Linnet Tse, President of the School Board. “But it was a spindly cedar, so there was minimal damage.” 
  However, Manor Park’s location spanning 5,000 feet of shoreline caused it to be particularly affected. The waves that were sent crashing onto Manor Park left $150,000 to $200,000 in damages to sea walls, walkways, benches and concrete. 
  The surf did enormous damage to the walk out point, and some of the huge rock slabs, used as benches, were uplifted and thrown off of their bases. There was also considerable soil erosion of the seawalls, which further damaged the landscaping. 
  Unlike in other parts of Larchmont, there were no toppled trees in the park. Fortunately, a tree management program that began in 2006 has been working on maintaining the stability of trees for these situations. The success of the program has prompted the emergence of proposals for the entire town to undergo a full tree management program. 
  Although the damage of the storm is still visible, many agree that the ordeal was handled effectively and relatively quickly. 

“Whenever we have lost power in other storms, Con Edison has been quick to respond,” said Jim Colburn, Larchmont resident. “I don't know what could be done better.”
