Storms Shut Down Power and Blood Supplies | New York City News
Description
Severe storms slammed New York and New Jersey, sparking citywide blackouts, downed trees, and a deadly accident in New Jersey when a tree limb crushed a car. Power outages hit from Manhattan to Peekskill, with Dutchess County hardest hit — over half the state’s outages there. PSEG reported 1200+ outages affecting 15,000+ people in New Jersey, while Con Edison shut down rumors linking the outages to a celebrity wedding. Meanwhile, the New York Blood Center is in crisis, pleading for donors after collecting only a two-day supply — far below the needed five to seven days — jeopardizing surgeries, trauma care, and transplants. Nature’s fury is disrupting everything — from lights to lifesaving blood.
