Yup, everything around me has said awaiting dispatch for over 6 hours, good times!

Went out at 4:45, back at 7:00.  

Ku8dos to the repair crews

Adding:

Predicted restoration time 11pm. In the it figures department.  Just got the generator gassed and running.  Sump pump plugged in.  2 minutes later. Power.

We’ve been out for about an hour now.  Hope the gennys gas lasts until 10ish

We lost power for all of 30 seconds before it kicked on.
Not going to even pull the Genny out if we lose power, though. Too much work to dig it out, my garage is packed full of crap lol. Just light the fireplace and suck it up!

But damn it Live PD is on in 1 hour 20 minutes! I NEED POWER!

Hopefully the line men are staying safe until the storm blows over, even if it sucks waiting. My friend has been without power since 930am

still have electric, but cable and interweb afre out. i'm on my laptop right now connected through my phone as a mobile hotrspot. and goddam is it slowe.

Don't think we lost power at my place at all.  Wife didn't say anything about it - I'm traveling.

Ended up working late tonight. Internet went out around 11pm, right after I sat down in the recliner and grabbed the remote.  Best luck ever.  

 

Came home after an 18.5 hour shift plowing and salting to no power. To lazy to start the genny. Lit kerosene heater and cracked open a few cold ones.

Looks like Just Can't Provide Lights can't even provide a restoration estimate.

 

My power came back on just before Live PD last night. Hope everyone stayed warm and gets their power back soon if you haven't already. Sounds super windy out there this morning. 

Still no power in the Pittstown area of union township.  Woke up to a house temp of 58 degrees.  Jcpl has no estimate for restoration so for now it’s cycling the genny every few hours...fun times 

Power came back on at 5:30. Good luck to everyone who's still out.

 

Still out here...going on 29 hours....

There's still over a million without power.  It looks like the north west corner of NJ got hammered pretty badly..

We haven't lost power since Sandy. Sorry to hear so many have.

I think maybe those of us that live near the shore got some substantial upgrades to the grid after Sandy.

I think you maybe right. I am not exactly near the shore, but in Western Monmouth so not too far away.

I'm near the shore, South of you. Our power stayed on the whole time, the neighborhood has underground utilities, so that apparently helps.

Lost it sometime on Friday-I wasn't home. Came home to cold and dark house. It came back sometime today between 12 and 3. My neighbor was chasing the JCP&L crews up and down the street for updates.

The house was out of power (and cold) for almost a day.  The barn (further down the line) is still out.  

 

Problem is the water wellpump is powered by the barn - have to go out tho the barn and run the generator to take a shower

Lost it 6pm sat night the 3rd...we were up the whole time.  Northern end of Vernon twp.

Gas , check

Fuel, check

Gennie, check

Wood stove lit since early oct..very big check.

G&A for those pesky 'zombies', check

 

They say Wednesday. ....  we shall see.

Wednesday? It was that bad up there, or is the electric grid that outdated up there?

That bad...highand lakes got hammered...problem is lots of feeders over hills and dales.....

 

To jcpl we are red headed step children...they maintain sh*t up here.

So I live near Clinton in a development that barely 20 years old.  We have no above ground wiring and no where near what others would consider the “boonies”.  

Cable has been out since Friday am, power mid Friday afternoon.  Estimates from say 1:30 today and Tuesday after respectively.

for us it wasn’t the actual storm but the sheer number of trees that took out wires and transformer boxes in neighboring areas.  What irks me is we still have friends and family with streets blocked from down wires and trees.  People literally can not get off their streets/driveway to get food.  How is that even acceptable in this day and age?

Imagine if you will the NK emp's.....

 

I dont care where you leave or what day and age it is...if your not self suffecient...your as good as dead.
