Brooklyn Brownouts

The low-voltage problem continues in most of western Prospect Heights. Street lights are dim, grocery store freezers are way too warm (soupy ice cream, just the right thing for a hot and muggy night) and the elevators in most of the large apartment buildings aren’t working. Hot water is intermittent as well. According to my co-op board, Con Ed is finally admitting there’s a problem but they promised to have it fixed by 8pm tonight. Meanwhile, it’s 10:30 and according to my UPS, incoming voltage is 97.1. (It should normally be at least 110.)
