By James Nye PUBLISHED: 16:51 EST, 24 November 2012 | UPDATED: 02:37 EST, 25 November 2012 Outraged victims of Hurricane Sandy have been charged their normal electric bills despite not having any power at all - weeks after the devastating storm. Customers of Long Island Power Authority received their usual full estimated rate that covered the entire billing cycle and the statements made no reference to refunds or deductions because or in spite of Sandy. Other residents of the areas affected by the storm have suffered an even worse blow, as a spate of burglaries hit the region over the Thanksgiving holiday.
