Thousands Still Without Power

The PSE&G homepage has all the information you need... NOT. There's nothing -- I repeat -- NOTHING about the outages on their front page. What are they thinking?? 100,000 customers mean nothing to them?

Apparently not.

I too live in the Oakview section, and called PSEG. They said the friday time estimate is a generic ETA that they're telling everyone so as not to get anyone's hopes up about service being returned anytime soon. The very polite customer service guy assured me that the friday timeline would be when the absolute last customer would have their power restored. I'm holding my breath......

Power back on Maolis and Felicity. They had to put Felicity back on due to the senior population so Adam's Place is probably on that grid.

I went to Felicity at 6:30 this morning and still no power or elevators. Plus they had a horrible flood on the first floor last night due to the downpour - I was there until about 10:30pm

I know they carried my father down 7 flights of stairs at Felicity this morning and took him to Mountainside as he is on oxygen and his portable only has a few hour emergency backup.

Fun times for all!!

Funny. The customer service agent told me that the Friday 6 pm timeline could be moved -- in either direction -- and should not be taken as gospel. That call happened about 15 minutes ago. They don't appear to haved mastered their talking points.

"...absolute last customer..."
Reminds me of this, from Arlo Guthrie:

During these hard days and hard weeks, everybody always
has it bad once in a while. You know, you have a bad time of it, and you always have a friend who says "Hey man, you
ain't got it that bad. Look at that guy." And you at that
guy, and he's got it worse than you. And it makes you feel better that there's somebody that's got it worse than you.

But think of the last guy. For one minute, think of the last guy. Nobody's got it worse than that guy. Nobody in the whole world. That guy...he's so alone in the world that he doesn't even have a street to lay in for a truck to run him over.
He's out there with nothin'. Nothin's happenin' for that cat.

And all that he has to do to create a little excitement in his own life is to bum a dime from somewhere, call up the FBI. Say "FBI?", they say "Yes", say "I think Uncle Ho and Chairman Mao and their friends are comin' over for dinner" (click)
Hang up the phone.

And within two minutes, and not two minutes from when he
hangs up the phone, but two minutes from when he first put
the dime in, they got 30,000 feet of tape rollin'; files on tape; pictures, movies, dramas, actions on tape. But then they send out a half a million people all over the entire world, the globe, they find out all they can about this guy.

'Cause there's a number of questions involved in the guy. I mean, if he was the last guy in the world, how'd he get a dime to call the FBI? There are plenty of people that aren't the last
guys that can't get dimes. He comes along and he gets a dime.

I mean, if he had to bum a dime to call the FBI, how was he gonna serve dinner for all of those people? How could the
last guy make dinner for all those people? And if he could
make dinner, and was gonna make dinner, then why did he
call the FBI?

They find out all of those questions within two minutes. And that's a great thing about America. I mean, this is the only country in the world...I mean, well, it's not the only country in the world that could find stuff out in two minutes, but it's
the only country in the world that would take two minutes
for that guy.

Other countries would say "Hey, he's the last guy...screw him", you know? But in America, there is no discrimination, and there is no hypocrisy,'cause they'll get anybody. And that's
a wonderful thing about America.

And that's why tonight I'd like to dedicate this song to every FBI man in the audience. I know you can't say nothin', you know, you can't get up and say "Hi!" cause then everybody knows
that you're an FBI man and that's a drag for you and your
friends.

They're not really your friends, are they? I mean, so you can't get up and say nothin' 'cause other wise, you gotta get sent back to the factory and that's a drag for you and it's an expense for the government, and that's a drag for you.

i live on adams place, we got our power back around 1:00pm.

I just called PSE&G and was told power would be restored by Friday at 6pm

Oakview power is on (fingers crossed)!

Oakview section just got power back! Yeah!

Scotty would have had a backup, and had power restored within minutes.

Does Egan's on Walnut have power? Talk about some need-to-know information!

How can I check on outages on PSEG's website? I can't find a link...

And does Fitzgerald's have power?

union st has no power till friday

"Power back on Maolis and Felicity. They had to put Felicity back on due to the senior population so Adam's Place is probably on that grid."

probably helped get silk mill back up this afternoon too. but not until after I headed out for a phone recharger and sundry forms of ice. I'm home recovering from surgery so I had my freezer packed. with the outage lasting 19 hours I may have dodged the bullet. it was quite a guantlet threading through the maze of closed streets and darkened street lights.

Power back on in the Redwood section of West Orange.

THE METS STILL SUCK...NICE PITCH BILLY WAGNER...PLEASE PASS THE FIREPLACE POKERS SO I CAN POKE OUT MY EYES....ARGHHHHHH

I'm with you, Iceman! I had to get away from the TV after that last display. Oh, the pain...

Sounds like Iceman is one of the few people for whom it would have been a good thing for the power to still be out...

STILL W/O POWER ON RIDGEWOOD AVE . . . WTF???!!!???!!!

Still no power on the north side of Linden east of Hillside in GR either. Argh!

I drove through West Orange last night around 10 p.m. and the power was out all along Pleasant Valley Way. Part of Verona may have been out, too. Bloomfield Avenue was business as usual.
