NYC upper east side subways at a stand still. Con Ed doesn't know what the problem is.
A power outage in the city's Upper East Side neighborhood cut traffic lights and some subway service Wednesday. The extent of the outage was not immediately clear.
"There's something happening on the Upper East Side. I can't tell you how big it is yet," said Bob Magee, a spokesman for Consolidated Edison.
Residents said traffic lights were out for 20 blocks on Lexington Avenue and the East Side subway lines were not operating.
Con Edison could not say how many customers had lost power. The city was in the second day of temperatures well over 90 degrees.
