The sad thing is, according to their 'restoration' web page there are only 7 homes without power in Independence. If that's true I'm going to play the lottery.

I'm thinking their 'restoration' page is a steaming pile of BS, personally.

If I don't have someone here today, I'm filing a *second* complaint with NJBPU. There's only 7 homes with no power, well they should be able to bang that out quick today, right?
From some that works for a power company, IMO you're being a complete ass. You have no idea how large JCP&L territory is and how much work they physically have to do. If the rest of your town has power that means they are working in the rest of the state fixing the main grid and will get back to you once the main grid has been repaired they will restore individual homes.

They are not ignoring you, they are busy with MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN SEVEN CUSTOMERS
