Thousands still without power today

Over 60,000 homes in the city lost power over the weekend due to the storm, and over half of those homes still remained without power as of 1:30 this afternoon.

According to Con Edison, 32,000 homes were still in the dark Monday, many of those outages due to downed trees on power lines. Queens was the worst hit; 21,000 homes there didn’t have power, followed by Staten Island, where 6,700 homes lost power and Brooklyn, where 2,100 were in the dark.
