Downed trees, telephone poles and power lines had become part of the landscape as town, fire and private crews began cleaning up following this weekend's nor'easter that slammed the region with torrential downpours and tropicalstormlike winds.
Residents, firefighters and Herald photographers snapped some photos around the East Meadow area during what was considered by the LIPA president as "one of the biggest weather events in Long Island history."
