Of these customers, 14,000 reside in Brooklyn, including the neighborhoods of Canarsie, Flatlands, Mill Basin, Old Mill Basin, Bergen Beach, Georgetown and part of East Flatbush.

Lights and air conditioners went off Sunday afternoon, just before dark, as a result of high usage in the continuing heat, according to Con Ed. Temperatures soared to 100 degrees over the weekend in the Big Apple, though Monday’s excessive rain is expected to cool the area and drop temperatures to the low 80s, according to the National Weather Service.
In southeast Michigan at least 250,000 customers are still without power, including the Detroit metropolitan area, according to a Monday morning update from DTE Energy. A large storm knocked out power lines Sunday and initially left 600,000 customers without access to electricity, DTE said. Power is expected to be fully restored by the end of the day on Wednesday, the utility company said.
