City Is Proud Of North End For Hurricane Response

News released from the mayor's office Tuesday morning indicates that damage from Hurricane Sandy in the North End was minor.

"The city of Boston was lucky to weather the storm as well as we did," said Dot Joyce, spokesperson for the mayor's office this morning. "The North End, especially, is a tight-knit community and we are proud of the residents for sticking together and helping the city respond to issues that came up throughout the day."

Joyce added that the North End is in good shape today with the Eliot School and Community Center open. 

Citywide, 610 calls came in for trees. Dorchester was the hardest hit, followed by West Roxbury and Roxbury, according to another spokesperson for the mayor's office.

There were no injuries reported in the city and only two reports of residential or commercial flooding. Although the mayor's office received 40 reports of roadway flooding, as of this morning there is no significant flooding that is preventing people from traveling. 

Although up to 2 percent of Boston was without power last night, NSTAR was quick to respond and as of 8 a.m. Tuesday it reported that 181 Boston households, or .65 percent of its Boston customers, remained without power.
