The Warwick Fire Department received 149 service calls from 5:30 a.m. till noon the day of the Aug. 4 “macro-burst” storm – more than quadruple the usual volume, representing an as-yet unknown amount of damage Rep. Patricia A. Serpa (D-Dist 27, West Warwick, Coventry, Warwick) hopes to help residents manage.
State Reps are exploring possible disaster relief for Warwick, Cranston and Coventry following Tuesday’s crippling storm of downed trees and three days without electricity for many residences and businesses, and the City of Warwick is asking for public reports to back up the appeal.
National Grid executives have 85 of their 230 crews working in Warwick after Tuesday’s storm, but residents in Governor Francis neighborhood, one of the hardest hit areas in the city, are skeptical power will be restored soon.
