Wyndmoor Condos Get Power At 7:20 AM
Highlands Mayor Frank Nolan at Wyndmoor Condos 12:30 AM September 3
Yesterday afternoon JCP&L Government Affairs Rep Roberta Sheridan told Highlands Mayor Frank Nolan that tonight’s first crew would be dispatched to Highlands at 10PM to restore power to the Wyndmoor Condominiums.
Nolan held a public information meeting for Highlands residents Friday evening. There were about 100 residents there, 40 from Wyndmoor. Meals had been provided earlier in the day at the community center. Too bad showers couldn’t be provided. Nolan relayed JCP&L’s commitment to a respectful, yet frustrated and skeptical crowd .
At 11:30 a JCP&L rep, Jackie, told Nolan that the crew was in Union Beach heading to Highlands. Nolan headed to Wyndmoor where he found residents Dick McCormick and Ray Goddard waiting. McCormick had been waiting since 9:30.

Wyndmoor has 125 electrical customers. At 11:12 PM on Friday, JCP&L posted that only 79 Highlands customers were without power.
Goddard sent me at text at 11:27, “no trucks at Wyndmoor.”
The trucks showed up at 1:17 AM. The power finally went on at 7:20 AM.

Two hours to go from Union Beach to Highlands? Give us a break!
No wonder why the general public has lost confidence in official information. And that is why blogs like this one are invaluable. Keep up the excellent work!
One truck? JCP&L has one truck in the area? After a week? Where are their other trucks? Why can’t they work on both sites simultaneously? Many people in Atlantic Highlands, Middletown and other communities also were without power at that same time. Did everybody have to wait for this one truck to get to them? Unreal!
I know it’s hard for the JCP&L geniuses to understand, but you can actually get the job done if you deploy personnel and resources immediately and keep them there until things are fixed. Simple, right? Not, apparently, for JCP&L.
I’m resurrecting a term from the ’80s for them: “Subgenius”. It fits. For us to continue to buy their subgenius nonsense would require the presence of Bob Dobbs himself. #EPICFAIL
