LIPA took criticism from Rep. Steve Israel Tuesday when he said “This is a real test for LIPA…There will be no excuses. LIPA during Irene did not perform satisfactorily. They said they got their act together. We’ll be watching.”
Others defended LIPA's efforts.
"The damage is widespread and insane. Give these guys a break. They don't have power either," wrote Daniel Franc on Facebook.
According to LIPA, almost 1 million customers were cut off as a result of Hurricane Sandy and full restoration may not come for at least a week.
