I'm watching someone's house, and they have power for now. They also have a generator if **** hits the fan. The pump has been going wild....

I know a few NJFBOA members in Ewing who were without power for at least a little while last night. Saw lots of dark neighborhoods on my way home from work last night.

Parts of Franklin Lakes lost power. Lights all around the town were out last night, roads closed, etc.
Oakland's fine though :)

We've had no power since 8PM on Saturday - I'm posting from my brother-in-law's computer. Gotta camp out here since our house is down to 58* inside - too cold for the little ones. PSE&G says power might be back on in our area of Bergen County by Tuesday. All in all, I still say we're lucky - our house is fine and suffered no damage. Amazing, considering the damage all around our area. Good luck and stay safe out there everyone!

I think PSE&G is giving everyone the "Tuesday" answer. My friend in Ewing who lost power Sat. night got that (his power was back on this morning though), and we get an automated call from PSE&G every few hours at work to let us know that most of Princeton is without power, but it should be back up on Tuesday.

was it because of the thunder and lightning, or the wind. I really didnt see much lightning but alot of wind and trees down

I think it had to do with the wind and stuff falling down. The power went out before any real lightning hit.

1/3 of the roads are closed around here due to the Musconetcong River burying bridges.

That same river is almost in my parents yard, might crest over the dock tomorrow. It looks crazy as hell how fast it's flowing now.

I have to say, JCP&L ftw. We never lost power :)

Just got back from picking up dinner from Hoagie Haven in Princeton. Nassau St. has power, but several of the side roads are completely blocked off. Still saw lots of trees / power lines down, and a lot of completely dark streets.
