My brother and his family still have no power due to the tropical storm Isaias that swept through NYC and its suburbs on Tuesday.
It doesn't seem to have made the news here.
I hope it's sorted soon for them but as for your questioning why it hasn't made the news here, the US news coverage is so parochial, I would be surprised if it made the news two states over! Why should it make the news here?
A friend of a friend mentioned they'd experienced a bad outage, but I confess to not following it up. I hope your family - & everyone else - get their power back soon, Pasta.
It won't make the news here because it is not related to Covid-19 or the government's latest measures aimed at "eliminating" the virus. I'm surprised the explosion of 3,000 tons of fertiliser in Beirut made our screens. They did mention, though, that Lebanon was reeling from Coronavirus (well, they have had 70 deaths).

there was a steamy gold barl that gets disperse - does anyone know how
(I thought that it was a steam barl which had been made to condense from the pressure front - - but I didnt expect it suddenly to go er pouf!) - I expected it to be carried forward on the wavefront
I was wondering about your brother, Pasta, when Pete Hesgeth said on Fox that he was one of many without power, hopefully it will be back on in NYC by Tuesday he said.
Isaias, hurtling up the east coast of the States covering about 3000 miles at 33mph isn't really enough for the British media to mention.
Yes...it was a much less forceful storm than many they get. So surprising in a way that do many lost power. I'd heard that there were 1,000s of reports of trees down, so he did some damage.
