HTN: Power Outages

About 46-hundred people were without power for about two hours yesterday. Homes were dark as well as street and traffic lights. NYSEG crews had been out working on a switch that malfunctioned. Police were patrolling the busier intersections. They also remind motorists that whenever a traffic light is out, it should be treated as an all-way stop. Several residents were prepared for the black. They had kerosene and-or propane heaters, while some even had generators. One family stuck in the cold and dark said, "If all that has failed, snuggle."
