Frankenstorm leaves behind Halloween tricks as schools in the North Babylon and Deer Park districts remain closed for the third day in a row on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
The announcements came Tuesday afternoon after Hurricane Sandy, which was downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone by the the time it hit New Jersey Monday evening, left 5,475 people in Deer Park without power and 3,850 in North Babylon.
Downed trees and utility poles are also blocking roadways across the area and traffic lights are out all over the hamlets.
