Large portions of Manhattan in New York City are without power Friday morning as at least 1.3 million people are still without power along the East Coast after Isaias wreaked havoc on the region earlier this week.

Con Edison, the city's main power company, said there are at least 119,039 customers without power, including those who had previously lost power as a result of the storm, as of 5:30 a.m. Friday.

The new power outages in New York City Friday, according to Con Ed's outage map, appear to be in the Upper West Side and Upper East Side neighborhoods.

A live camera from ABC News New York City station WABC showed a large section of the Upper West Side completely dark. A station camera also showed the electricity out in the Upper East Side.
