Story:

NYC (3/15/2010) - Hundreds of crews are working around the clock to clean up trash and give back power to thousands of New Yorkers after this weekend's powerful storm.

According to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, winds of up to 80 miles per hour gusted through the five boroughs, knocking down trees, telephone poles -- and electricity.

The Parks Department says its priority is making streets, schools and hospitals accessible.

Thousands remain without power throughout the city, with Staten Island having the most homes without power.

As of 8 p.m. Monday, approximately 70,000 customers in and around the city remained without power: 55,000 in Westchester County, 9,000 in Staten Island, 3,700 in the Bronx, 1,470 in Queens and 650 in Brooklyn.

Con Ed has about 500 crews in the field, in addition to other field support personnel clearing roads and trees.

"Having your electricity go out, we all know in this day and age, is a huge inconvenience that disrupts every aspect of city daily life," said Bloomberg. "Con Ed really is working 24 hours a day. They are, however, having difficulty getting extra resources from local places, because other utilities in the area have been hit hard, as well."

In addition to the downed power lines, trees fell into homes and onto cars on Staten Island.
