Though many businesses on Central Avenue were open with power restored Tuesday night, others still are not and Pearl River Schools are still closed Wednesday. Pearl River Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Morgano advised parents against taking their children trick or treating Tuesday.
"While it is a parental decision, I would suggest that the danger of being out with exposed wires and falling branches outweigh any benefits of trick or treating," Morgano said.
