All of the power outages are in Suffolk County, and most of them are in Brookhaven.
The severe storms hit the area on Tuesday morning, downing trees and leading to the partial suspension of the Long Island Rail Road's (LIRR) Port Jefferson branch.
As of 8AM there are 42,500 customers w/o power due to earlier thunderstorms. Crews are assessing damage + making repairs. We're on it!

An estimated restoration time has not been given, and commuters are being advised to use alternate LIRR branches.
The weather has also resulted in 45-minute delays at LaGuardia airport, though other airports in the area are functioning as usual.
At least three separate thunderstorm warnings were issued for parts of the North Shore and South Fork between about 4 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. local time.
More than 5,600 New Jersey residents are also without power.
