Cuomo: Sandy Damage Makes Upcoming Storm a Problem

Gov. Andrew Cuomo warns the nor’easter due to hit New York beginning Wednesday is a serious problem because so many victims of Sandy remain without power and debris clogs the streets.

Cuomo says moderate flooding is possible even as residents try to recover from the superstorm.

He says the heavy rain and strong winds will add more havoc from Westchester to Queens to Long Island where he says people are still in peril.

Cuomo is issuing an executive order to have local public works crews pick up furniture and other belongings New Yorkers have placed in front of their houses awaiting insurance estimates.

Cuomo says he is ordering insurance companies to accept inventories and photographs of items provided by policy holders. He urges policy holders to keep copies.
