Just under 29 hours after a massive blackout struck, a power company spokeswoman says all power has been restored to New York City.
Consolidated Edison spokeswoman Joy Faber said power was fully restored at 9:03 pm EDT. She says: "We are 100 percent back."
Faber says Con Ed employees will continue to work through the weekend to stabilize the system and try to prevent any further disruptions.
