After the blackout due to Hurricane Sandy. Images shows New Jersey, New York, and eastern Pennsylvania as viewed at night by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite. This image was taken at 2:52 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on November 1, 2012. Image was captured by the VIIRS day-night band Lingering clouds from Hurricane Sandy are lit by moonlight and obscure much of New York's Hudson Valley, Northwestern New Jersey, and northeastern Pennsylvania. In Manhattan, the lower third of the island is dark on November 1, while Rockaway Beach, much of Long Island, and nearly all of central New Jersey are also darker. The barrier islands along the New Jersey coast, are just barely seen in the moonlight after the blackout. Along with the scattered electric lights, there is a bright point along the shore south of Mantoloking, New Jersey, that could be fires fueled by severed natural gas lines.
