Hundreds of people across Brooklyn were without power Monday as utility crews worked to restore electricity following Friday\u2019s winter storm.<\/p>\n
According to Con Edison\u2019s outage map, 852 customers across the borough were without power as of Monday. Utility crews worked block by block to identify problems and make repairs.<\/p>\n
Con Edison says most of the outages appear to be weather-related. When snow melts and mixes with road salt, that water can seep into underground electrical equipment and cause damage, sometimes forcing crews to shut off power for safety reasons.<\/p>\n
For residents, the outages mean dark apartments and, for some, a lack of heat. <\/p>\n
Utility crews say they are working as fast as they safely can to restore service. Con Edison’s website most recently showed power should be restored for most Brooklynites around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Con Edison encourages customers to check the outage map online for updates as repairs continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hundreds of people across Brooklyn were without power Monday as utility crews worked to restore electricity following Friday\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63,345,1356],"class_list":["post-84086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-power-outages","tag-stormy-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
