Interesting data. It looks like not much restoration work has been going on in Queens: 86449 offline to begin, and still 73599 offline. And they tell me my power is going to be out until the 9th...

Does the "coned" gem use some public API that ConEd has, or does it just scrape their web site?

Note: "burough" should be "borough".

It's interesting indeed. As of right now it looks like only Manhattan has seen drastic improvements. I hope you get your power back sooner than the 9th!

The coned gem (now https://github.com/ckundo/sandy) is craping data from the official Coned storm central site.

(Thanks, I fixed the typo. As a native Swedish speaker borough is one of those words that make no sense.)

Why does clicking on the Lower East Side green bubble (why is the bubble green, as that seems to correspond to a 0 percent outage in the text) take me to the Greenwich Village page?

I guess the bigger criticism is...the map view could use some work and given the non-officialness of neighborhood boundaries, maybe a map view isn't the most useful?

Neat. How did you get google to serve up a white tileset? Or did you generate your own?

http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmaps/... Turn the saturation down. This was found with 10 seconds worth of searching by the way.

I don't know what search terms you used, but I got lost in a thicket of docs on generating and uploading entirely custom tilesets, which I was hoping not to have to do.

Thanks for the link, less so for the snark!

My search term was "greyscale google maps" and I'm sorry for the snark!
