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!
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".
I've done a rudimentary version of jpetterson's at http://stormpox.com (much less pretty). I'm running a rake task that gets called via cron job. The rake task fetches and parses the feed (via the sandy gem) and posts it to a google spreadsheet via the google_drive API. stormpox.com is running as a static site on heroku with an embedded google timeline chart that auto-updates when the spreadsheet changes, and voila, insta-outage-chart (albeit google branded).
The code for the stormpox.com backend is at https://github.com/ckundo/coned_charts.
The sandy gem (previously the coned gem) is on rubygems and here: https://github.com/ckundo/sandy
Again great work jpetterson!
Looking at the ConEd official power outage map, they list roughly 10,000 people in Manhattan without power.
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.

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