Con Edison tweets this is the largest storm-related outage in their history. Crews are working around the clock to assess damage and restore power.

The Long Island Power Authority said it will need at least 10 days to fix the outages. More than 914,000 of LIPA's 1.1 million customers were without power as of 8 p.m. Tuesday, according to Newsday.
