Blacking out Soon in a Borough Near You

Just when we thought the local TV news feeding frenzy over the Queens power failure was winding down, it seems the fest is back in business. As of 4:15 this afternoon, several neighorhoods in Staten Island from the Verrazano to the ferry and along the South shore including Dongan Hills, Rosebank and Tomkinsville, among others, are suffering without electricity. We can't comment on the extent of the outage, so we're hoping to hear from any of you who might be able to update us.
