As a result of the lousy weather and Con Ed's labor issues, the utility company reports thousands of scattered power outages all over the northeast Bronx.
To contact them: 800-75-CONED(26633). These thunderstorms and lightning may have been a factor that knocked out power to many areas.

Among the businesses that Con Edison is responding to as a result of these power outages is The IGA Supermarket on City Island avenue. Power is expected to return by tonight.
To report a loss of electric service, contact Con Edison online at http://www.coned.com
When your power is out, City Island Images encourages you to stay away from downed power lines. Even lines that appear “dead” can be deadly. Also, stay out of flooded basements because energized wiring, outlets or natural gas service may pose a hazard.
