    Con Edison continues to note that the can not send crews out yet as the

    storm has not ended yet and there are many overhead outages - they must

    wait for the wind to slow

     

    -105,000 citywide without power

     

    -11,750 in Brooklyn

     

    Con Edison is cautiously optimistic as high tide has passed and bulk of the

    rain has moved north -

     

    -they will prioritize restorations based on which repairs will restore the

    power to the most people

     

    -there were no preemptive outages in Brooklyn - restorations could start

    early afternoon but it could take several days

     

    -there is an outage map on coned.com on the bottom left -"Storm Central"

    and then you can click on Outage Information Map

     

    -I reviewed the map for our district -looks like 306 customers in Dyker

    Heights, 8 near Stillwell Avenue, 1 in Bay Ridge, 212 in the Ocean Parkway

    area, 2133 by Avenue U near Marine Park (most of our area) and 1059 near

    Knapp Street/Gerritsen Beach

     

    Another call is at 2pm and will again update.
