You just heard the news.

Now you'll find out what it all means.

It's Mark Simone on 710 W-O-R.

Well, I'm here.

I'm only a couple blocks away.

It was easy to get it.

Well, I wouldn't say it was easy to get here. Even walking just a block or two is not easy. It is a mess outside. It is also eerie and gloomy outside. It's pandemic-like in that if you do walk outside, there's no traffic. I mean, there's a car here and there. And there are no pedestrians

either. That's the eerie part. You might look way down. This is the middle of Manhattan.

You may look at a block or two down and see one person walking. It's just like the pandemic. It's very,

very quiet out there. The snow is messy. It's wet snow.

It's not the dry snow.

No, the wet snow is worse.

Harder to shovel.

It's heavier.

And when it's on the tree branches or power poles, it can get so heavy, it can actually cause them to break, snap.

That's we get these power outages.

It's power outage-wise, you've got $6 break, snap. That's where you get these power outages. It's power outage wise.

You've got 640,000 people without power. That's up and down the East Coast, all the way down to

Virginia. Now, here in this area, New York State, including New York City, Nassau, Suffolk,

17,000 people without power. And that's mostly Nassau, Suffolk, 17,000 people without power. And that's mostly

NASA, Suffolk Queens, mostly Long Island. Almost all of it is Long Island. 17,000 without power.

Connecticut, 13,000 without power. New Jersey, listen to this number, 137,000 without power, 137,000 without power.
