8,037 Still Without Power in Monmouth
JCP&L got the power turned on for 11,277 customers, 30,000-40,000 people since 6:30 this morning. That’s a far cry from the 8900 per hour Governor Christie said all utilities in the State were doing from Sunday through Wednesday.
Joan’s power is still out at the 55+ Riviera community in Freehold Township. Yesterday a JCP&L rep told Joan, “You are not a priority.” Today she was told, “There are only 10 houses out on your grid. We can’t get to it.”
In Highlands, the Paradise Park trailer park survived the storm but is still without power. On the opposite end of town, the Wyndmoor Condos, 125 units on Portland Rd. are still out. Trees fell at Wyndmoor breaking two utility poles. Word around the complex is that JCP&L and Verizon were squabbling over which utility was responsible. Whoever won that squabble, here we are on Thursday, the poles have been replaced and there is no power.
Paradise Park is surrounded by power. The adjacent marina and and county park have power. The residents do not.
