Hurricane Sandy is now over 24-hours from our area, but her effects are still being felt throughout Babylon Village and nearby communities. Many of our local schools, businesses and organizations are remaining closed with power still out, roads still blocked and some homes in the flood zone completely uninhabitable.
If you own a business or organization and would like to announce its closure, please do so by adding a comment below or email the editor.
