The Lloyd Harbor causeway was closed to non-local traffic, with vehicles turning around the entrance to Lloyd Neck beach, where the parking lot was completely under water. West Shore Road and other streets were also flooded.
- As of 2 p.m., PSEG Long Island reported that approximately 4,747 of its roughly 1.1 million customers across Long Island and the Rockaways are without service.
- Since midnight, the utility has restored service to more than 20,700 customers affected by the nor’easter.
- Electric service crews will continue to respond to outages and repair service as safely and as quickly as possible.
- High winds and heavy rain can increase the potential of downed wires and power outages.
- These conditions can also make it difficult for crews to do their work. PSEG Long Island’s goal is always to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
- The utility appreciates customers’ patience in understanding that crews are working as swiftly as possible, with safety in mind.
- Downed wires should always be considered “live.”
