My in-law in L.I. just got his power back, too.
Hope your relative w/o power gets his back soon. Do they have shelters in the area?
My third cousin still does not have power. He lives on the north shore of Long Island, in the Suffolk County community of Northport.
His wife went to stay with one of their adult daughters who has power. My cousin commutes to his office in New Jersey every week day, by train. I don’t know if there are shelters in his area....he’s only home at night anyway.
He used to work on the 91st floor of the south tower of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, but transferred to a New Jersey office a couple of years before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. A number of people he used to work with lost their lives that day. He was there in February, 1993 during the original terror attack planned by the blind sheikh.
