lost power at approx 5PM today -- as I wason the LIE svc road, i saw a big flash (transformer) and all of a sudden all the street lights go out... I turn into my neighborhood and no power.
Anyone know why in the hell my block has such an issue with keeping the lights on? It seems anytime it rains, I lose power or a transformer blows!
Unfortunately it's a bit "general". I'd like to see something more specific rather than just by Hamlet or Village...
Actually, I liked the old map much better... Atleast I was able to see a general location of what was being worked on.... Now they have this terrible map hat tells the customer absolutely nothing... IN the detail of your outage it says someone will be dispatched as soon as possible.
Well, around 11 AM power flickered on & off 5 times, then went OUT altogether here in Roslyn.
From what I've been told, its out in Glen Head, EAst Hills, ROslyn - very wide area. And there were lots of police & ambulances coming by as well. Hoping that was related to the power loss & it'll be coming back soon. One neighbor was told that the power should be back on by around 1:00. It's 2:00 - hope that report is close to correct. And the snow is falling fairly heavy. Strong winds from Athena not quite here yet.
Had just restocked freezer & fridge.
Well, if it is cold enough use Mother nature as a frig. When I was first in college, w/ lil ones to feed...in-laws offered half a beef. My hubby is like, oh we don't have freezer. I said...We have the trunk of the car and it is 30 degrees all winter....We literally used our car trunk all winter. That sounds pretty bad, but in a pinch use whatever resources you have. God protect and keep you all!!

Doesn't ConEd service Westchester? If so, good luck
well, i'm in glen head and we didn't lose power today because we haven't gotten it back
I have friends and relatives in Setauket, Stony Brook, Poquott, and Old Field who are in the same terrible position. There's power all around them, but thire street or neighborhood is completely in the dark. It is a ridiculous shame that LIPA could restore half a street days earlier while leaving the other end dark indefinitely.

I'm hearing that its a lack of materials.
