Hmm, I'm not sure I would say "At the moment 0% of Con Edison's Customers in Manhattan are Without Power". I currently have 4 people staying with me because their power is out in Battery Park, Chelsea, and Gramercy. It is definitely an improvement (I didn't have power or water until yesterday morning), but it's not over yet.

Looking at the ConEd official power outage map, they list roughly 10,000 people in Manhattan without power.

The ConEd data is a nested set of areas where each Area the fields: total_customers, customers_out. It seems there's a discrepancy between the number of customers_out for Manhattan and the sum of customers_out for Manhattans's sub areas.

I've decided to trust the sum of the individual sub areas instead, working on a fix.

Ah... I accidentally rounded to zero decimal places. Looks better now.
