Syosset Sends SOS to LIPA

Residents try to flag down the many trucks patrolling the area.

As the amount of power outages in Syosset and Woodbury dwindled to almost a quarter of what they were a week before, residents continued trying to flag down Long Island Power Authority trucks by any means necessary.

This sign, photographed by Grace Kim on Twitter, was found on Jackson Avenue.

"Syosset never would make a sign like this but we need power! #lipa hurry up! We're freezing!" she tweeted along with the photo.

As of Tuesday afternoon, just under 3,000 homes were still without power in Syosset and Woodbury, according to LIPA. 1,780 homes in Syosset remained in the dark, while 1,100 were still without power in Woodbury.
