Shot from across the East River in Brooklyn, the video posted online shows a series of bright blue flashes illuminating the sky after explosions at the Con Ed (Consolidated Edison) Plant.
Con Ed has announced that it has already shut off power to customers to part of Lower Manhattan so it can be restored faster after the storm passes.
Much of Manhattan is now without power, with millions of homes elsewhere also facing blackouts.
Water levels are now at record highs in the city, with the Fire Department of New York headquarters evacuated by boat.
The sea surged a record of nearly four metres at the foot of Manhattan.
