NEW YORK (Reuters) - About 3.3 million customers lost power in the U.S. East Coast on Sunday as Hurricane Irene lashed the U.S. East Coast.
Close to 600,000 customers lost power within a half hour early on Sunday morning as the Category One hurricane pummelled the region and loomed close to New York City.
Con Edison, which supplies power to 3 million customers in New York City, had not reached a decision to shut off power to lower Manhattan early on Sunday.
About 80,000 Con-Ed customers in New York City and Westchester County were without power on Sunday morning.
