More than 1,000 homes and businesses in Brooklyn lost power yesterday morning, due to salt water runoff causing corrosion and manhole fires. In fact, there were 82 “manhole incidents” in Brooklyn Wednesday, according to DNAinfo.

Crown Heights seems to have had the worst of it, with 157 customers out. In Dyker Heights, 123 homes and businesses lost power near 69th Street and 12th Avenue. Service has already been restored to most areas, and only about 50 customers are without power now, according to ConEd’s map.

It’s going to snow all day until about 7 pm, and Brooklyn could get four to eight inches, according to the National Weather Service. Schools are open though. We hope for more springlike weather after the time change this weekend.
