“About 100,000 homes and businesses in New York City and Long Island were so damaged byHurricane Sandy that restoring power to some of them may take months, New York GovernorAndrew Cuomo said.
About two-thirds are on Long Island’s south shore, with 36,000 clustered in Staten Island and the Rockaways where the most flooding occurred, Cuomo said yesterday at a news briefing.
“You have some people who have buildings and have homes that you cannot turn on the power until that building or home is repaired or replaced,” Cuomo said. “Those are going to be the most difficult situations.”
