A power outage struck North and Central Campus around 3 p.m. on Nov. 1, remaining unresolved for hours.
Students experienced a campus-wide power outage on Saturday afternoon. The Sun will provide updates when they are available.
On what was supposed to be a normal Monday morning, students and Ithaca residents were faced with a power outage that affected over 1,000 households across the town.
High winds left some students across the tri-state area temporarily without electricity.
A Spectrum WiFi outage left many in Ithaca without Internet for most of the afternoon.
Around 7 p.m. Thursday evening, the power went out for many Collegetown businesses on the 400 block of College Avenue — plunging student hangouts like Collegetown Bagels, Rulloff’s, Apollo’s and 7/11 into near-darkness. Calls made by the businesses to NYSEG had employees estimating that power will return to the block by 9:45 p.m.
More than 7,000 people are without power in Tompkins County, multiple elevators are stuck with people inside and traffic lights are blinking yellow due to a power outage that is affecting the entire Cornell campus.
NYSEG and Cornell utilities personnel responded to reports of the outage, according to a University statement.
