Chelsea Clinton still without power after storms

Former US President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea was among the New Yorkers left without power in the wake of Hurricane Sandy this week.

The former First Daughter, 32, has revealed she and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, have been living in their Manhattan apartment without electricity and hot water for five days.

And the couple was still in the dark as WENN went to press.

Clinton took to Twitter.com to document the drama, but appeared to be in good spirits on Friday.

She write, "Although we still don't have power, @Starbucks holiday cup & the barista's smile brightened my day - thank you! It's the little things!"

Cities and towns up and down America's East Coast were lashed by Sandy, which left major power outages and flooding in its wake.
