ALBANY (AP) -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn't just one of the guys in charge of recovering from Superstorm Sandy. He's a victim.

A spokesman says Thursday the Westchester County house Cuomo shares with his girlfriend, Food TV star Sandra Lee, and his daughters had power restored earlier this week. Although Cuomo previously said the house still had electricity shortly after Sandy hit last week, service had apparently been off and on after the storm.

Generators kept the house supplied with power.

Cuomo has repeatedly criticized utility companies for what he has called a lack of preparation and slow performance in restoring electric service.

Lee had previously posted photos on Twitter of a half-dozen large trees that were knocked down at the house.
