Roughly 2,000 Remain Without Power, Mostly In Hampton Bays Area

SOUTHAMPTON, NY —As cleanup after Tropical Storm Isaias commences across the East End, roughly 2,000 remained without power in Southampton Town Wednesday morning, mostly in the Hampton Bays area, Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said.

A cooling and charging center was opened Wednesday at the Hampton Bays Senior Center, located at 25 Ponquogue Avenue.

Social distancing protocols are in place; no more than 35 people can be present, and masks must be worn and will be provided if needed, Schneiderman said. All visitors must fill out attestation forms and be temperature scanned upon arrival, he added.

Many residents turned to social media to say that they were not able to get through to PSEG Long Island on Tuesday.

"We are experiencing communications issues and are working with Verizon and other partners to resolve this matter as quickly as possible," a media representative for PSEG Long Island said.
