"Tropical Storm Isaias was one of the strongest storms to hit our service territory in recent years, and some outages could last for an extended period," PSEG said.

"We have made great progress overnight, restoring more than 220,000 customers affected by the strongest tropical storm to hit the area in years, and we will not rest until everyone’s power is back on," Daniel Eichhorn, president and COO of PSEG Long Island said. "We have also overcome many of the issues with Verizon that affected our call center operations yesterday. We understand how critical it is to share accurate and timely information with our customers and we continue working diligently to fully resolve these issues."
