Two days since Hurricane Sandy turned the New York area into a giant water park, ConEdison gives us an update as to how long NYC residents must continue to suffer.

ConEdison, New York's primary service for electricity and gas, reports that power outages are currently affecting more than 800,000 in its service area. Interestingly enough, Reuters reported that 20 percent of New York City was blacked out on Tuesday. With its residents plunged into darkness, New Yorkers were delivered another blow as ConEdison reportedly cut power to more than 160,000 homes in Brooklyn and Staten Island late Tuesday night because of storm-related issues on high voltage systems.

Verizon, who has infiltrated the New York boroughs over the past few years, saw major damage to ts telecom equipment located in Lower Manhattan, Queens and Long Island — areas tat saw some of the worst of the storm's surge flood. No estimate of how many customers have been affected by the outages, but most New York residents are saying that service is spotty in areas it hardest by the storm.

At the time of writing, travel, another concern for New Yorkers, is still limited, as airlines axed another 2,801 flights Wednesday, bringing Hurricane Sandy's grand total to roughly 19,500 cancelations since Sunday. Subway service is still suspended, but the MTA has announced that limited service will resume on November 1. Waits are expected to be longer than usual and trains will be more crowded.
