power!!!

Jealous! :)

Pat is as happy as you! But no TV or internet for him :rofl:

Still no power here. I see the trees getting cleared from the lines, so that's some kind of progress. My house service wires are still FUBAR, though. Hope they get things sorted soon. I'll be pretty happy when I can put my generator away.

No power yet.

I ran some quick numbers from JCP&L's website, and about 75% of NJ is still without power

its crazy

fios ftw lol. It never went down when I plugged the generator in, up came web & tv

i think as long as you have no power my job is dark too. No offense but I'm hoping for late tomorrow lol

None taken. Wife is most annoyed with it than I am. We just got power back at my office in Woodbridge so I will be headed to work tomorrow. Still hoping I get some good news soon about the house.

All around Flemington is dark, with the exception of a small commercial zone off of 202.

Guess who works in said commercial zone.

Tonight I get to siphon gas out of the Nova so I can drive to an all day meeting that could not be moved.

My work still is out ..... so we improvised.

This unit is up front on the other side of the building...

Also got some lights working off it, so now they can do all the important stuff they do. PSE&G said today "7-10" days. ick ...

No power but stole the battery from my camaro and the jag to power my rigged up phone charger inside. Life without power blows.

Well, it was only a matter of time. Reports are starting to pop up of generators being stolen in the night, and gas tanks being siphoned.

Edit: Cure for the generator is: shut it down and lock it in the garage for the night. To protect the trucks parked outside, I jammed them gas cap to gascap, about 2 inches apart. Not ideal, but the best I can do on short notice.

Freehold had people leaving running lawnmowers in place of gensets.

I had it chained up in the back yard. Now it's in the garage.

So at work... we had about 75 tow ins... we sent a crew to baltimore to get generators over night... cables galore.

fios for all who have it just need to plug your fios unit in and pull the green tiped wire in the battery unit then put it back and youll be good if you got a generator

Didn't have to pull any wires. Simply plug it in

yea, i just plugged the fios box to my power inverter, worked great.

got power back now. all good to go.

Haven't seen Adam here since 10/28 or Taylor since 10/15. Any reports?

Not running, I hope?!

oh no. my power came back up yesterday

Ahh, ok. Quick tip to make sure it's ready to go next time: Drain all the gas out of it, including the carburetor and change the oil. I do this every time I'm finished using my generator, and when I need it, dump gas in and one pull start.

Done!

Adam/kirk are alive, they always wanted an indoor swimming pool anyways

No power or anything, still tons of trees down/roads closed back home. At work again today (only went Wed and today). Had to go to Phillipsburg to get gas last night, and lots of people I know went to Easton/Stroudsburg.

Really want to go check out the shorehouse for myself with dad tomorrow but not sure what the gas situation is down there. Would love to take the ski out to explore the area and scope it out too. LBI must be worse than everyone says because you can't even leave/arrive by boat or you'll be accosted by the police.
