LIPA: More Than 3,000 Still Remain Without Power in East Meadow

Thousands of East Meadow residents have been without electricity for 12 days.

The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) is reporting that 3,680 customers in East Meadow are still without power as of 7:05 a.m. on Friday.

On Thursday morning, there were 3,623 customers without power.

Residents expressed their anger and frustration toward LIPA on East Meadow Patch's Facebook page on Thursday, saying that they feel abandoned by the company and that have not been given straight answers after spending days in cold and dark homes with small children and pets.
