As we warned earlier - due to the flooding from the storm surge - ConEd has cut power to parts of lower Manhattan:

• *CON EDISON CUT POWER TO PARTS OF LOWER MANHATTAN, SPOKESMAN SAY
• *CON EDISON CUT POWER EAST OF BROADWAY, SOUTH OF WALL ST TO TIP
• *POWER CUT BETWEEN WALL, FRANKFORT, WILLIAMS & EAST RIVER :ED US
• *CON EDISON CUT POWER TO PROTECT LINES FROM HURRICANE FLOODING

'Dark Pools' comes to mind as the financial district is blacked out.
