This weekend's torrential rainstorm killed at least six people in New York and New Jersey, and the NYPD says it received the second highest volume ever of 911 calls in a 24-hour period (65,000)—even more than on 9/11. (The 2003 blackout still ranks number one in 911, with 96,000 calls.) The storm dumped up to 6 inches of rain on parts of the tri-state area, stranding hundreds of travelers in trains, cars and airports, and causing "tens of millions of dollars" in damage according to Senator Chuck Schumer, who called on FEMA to send damage assessment teams to parts of New York. As of last night, more than 57,000 Con Ed customers were without power. Guess which borough had the fewest power outages!

Yes, Manhattan, where 89 customers were left in the dark as of last night. Meanwhile, NY1 reports that in Brooklyn, 3,790 were still without power, while 5,900 were out of juice in Queens, and 8,400 in the Bronx. But the biggest loser is Staten Island: 23,000 are in the dark, and residents are pissed and complaining. "We have not seen one Con Ed truck since power went out twenty-four hours ago," Staten Island's Tom Marchesi tells the Advance. "I've got an elderly neighbor who can't get his car out of the garage because it's electric, and his house is freezing. What are we supposed to do?" Well, Con Ed was at the Staten Island Mall for four hours on Sunday, handing out ice and answering questions! And they've got a nifty online map showing where the power outages are! Of course, that probably won't matter much if you don't have electricity.

Another unfortunate Staten Islander tells NY1, "We went out to go shopping in Shop Rite for half an hour, we come home and the tree's in the middle of our house. The roof is caved in. It's inside, up on the attic, my windows on my bedroom are knocked in. We're at a loss. We have no electric, which means no heat, no lights. I have an 81-year-old mother that I have to take out of the house because she's freezing." Con Ed promises they'll have 350 crews out today on Staten Island to restore power and remove sparking wires.

"It's sort of meteorological mayhem," says city Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe. "This was a storm of unusual intensity and duration. It's the worst we've had in a while." At the height of the storm Saturday, some 126,000 customers lost power in the five boroughs. "Shingles were flying off. It looked like the Wizard of Oz," Angela Juno, who lost her roof and everything that was in the top floor of her home in Gerritsen Beach, tells the Daily News. And this is sad: In Howard Beach, Ileen and Cliff Sarokoff lost the 65-foot blue spruce they planted as a seedling 45 years ago when they bought their home. "She fell like a lady," Ileen tells the News. "She didn't break in half—she went gently down."

On Saturday night Aaron Wiernik of Murray Hill boarded a NJTransit train in Manhattan, bound for Princeton, New Jersey. The trip should have taken him 70 minutes, but instead he was on board for 9 hours, with much of that spent stuck on the tracks near Rahway, N.J. without power or heat. "It was freezing. The bathrooms were a mess, and we were receiving no updates," Wiernik tells the News. Eventually a diesel train came and took the passengers to Newark. Similar nightmarish delays were also experienced on Amtrak, which shares some tracks with NJ Transit. One irate passenger passed the time with a little citizen journalism, interviewing her fellow stranded commuters for this video:

Among the storm-related fatalities in the metro area was a 73-year-old retired school teacher from Brooklyn, who was killed by a tree that fell on her as she was walked to her car after her 5-year-old grandnephew's birthday party on Long Island. Teaneck, NJ, Lawrence Krause, 49, a personal injury lawyer, and neighbor Ovadyah Mussaffi, 52, were both killed when a tree on Krause's property crushed them. "He's a father of six," Krause's father-in-law tells the Post. "He just had a baby. Twenty years [as a lawyer] on Wall Street. He had a very successful life and business, and he died 50 feet from his house, maybe less." Falling trees also killed a man in Westchester, a woman in New Jersey, and another woman in Greenwich, Connecticut.
