Consolidated Edison crews were prepared to work into Sunday night to restore electricity to Brooklyn and Queens residents.

As of 6:30 p.m., Con Ed officials said of the 84,000 customers who originally lost power, there were still 506 Brooklyn customers and 416 Queens customers who were awaiting restored electrical service.

Dry ice was distributed earlier Sunday by Con Ed at Sheepshead Bay High School in Brooklyn and Richmond Hill High School in Queens.

The affected New Yorkers have had to throw out spoiled food and endure the ongoing heat wave without air conditioning.

“I slept in my car last night, me and my 80-year-old mother slept in the car because there's no electricity, no air conditioning," said one resident of East Elmhurst, Queens.

"The majority of homeowners that I'm learning from here have all come and gotten their parents and taken them to hotels, because Con Ed has given them seven different stories about the time-frame for the repair," said another.

"It's been very bad because he's diabetic, number one, and he loses his strength. He's weak. You see him right now, he can't walk straight because of the heat," said a third.

The utility reduced voltage in parts of Staten Island on Sunday to help cope with the power demand, and asked residents to do what they could to conserve power.

New Yorkers are urged to keep their thermostats no lower than 78 degrees.

Monday's humid temperatures are expected to break the heat wave by only going up to 84 degrees.
