Residents told News 12 they heard two separate explosions before the power went out.<\/p>\n
One woman said she woke up to the smell of smoke and the sound of firetruck.<\/p>\n
“It started at 7 a.m. When I was looking out my window, the tree and the branches were on fire. It was hitting against the electrical wires,” one woman said. <\/p>\n
Then, two hours later, she said the electrical pole outside her home exploded.<\/p>\n
“We heard a boom. This thing blew up,” she said.<\/p>\n
The outages reportedly began at 9 a.m., beginning at the intersection of Lawton Avenue and Calhoun Avenue.<\/p>\n
News 12 cameras captured downed wires everywhere.<\/p>\n
Con Edison crews were quickly on scene to assess the source of the outage and make repairs.<\/p>\n
Full power was restored to the Throgs Neck neighborhood by 4 p.m. on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents told News 12 they heard two separate explosions before the power went out.
