Don't know what the technical/physical condition of the electrical problem in St Louis, but in NYC, we have ancient infrastructure. Alot of wires melted with 102 degree temps for 2.5 days.

They are angry at ConEdison, upset, crying, can't sleep, threw out 10 tons of spoiled food, having to collect free water, ice, food from city agency trucks that deliver supplies to them daily. Luckily, most New Yorkers have power and their a/c.
