WASHINGTON - Severe wind and rain in the northeastern United States left thousands without power on Monday and into early Tuesday, even as a record-breaking heat wave ebbed.
The hardest-hit area was New Jersey, with about 300,000 customers still without power early on Tuesday, tracking site PowerOutage.us showed. Many New Yorkers experienced their second successive weekend of blackouts, after a July 13 outage left more than 73,000 homes and businesses without power for about three hours.
Some residents have been without power since Sunday night, when Con Edison shut off supply to about 50,000 customers in New York City and Westchester to avert strain on the system, even as temperatures soared to 37.8 deg C.
