By county is useless. Need more estimated repair times on a micro level. My parents who are in their 80s are refusing to leave their home because every day, they are told they will have power the next day.

Shelly, the attached PDF has town by town projections. You can also go on JCP&L website and check info. there or you can call them. I don't have a way of providing more specific info. beyond what they are providing. I'm sorry your parents, and so many thousands, are experiencing this.

How about Laurence harbor????? When are we getting power????? No power for 10 days!!!!!

The jcp&l projections are useless and disingenuous. They are not accountable to anyone and either cannot or will not provide any helpful info that would allow folks to make the necessary decisions about what to do.

I have been following the JCPL updates via the published .PDFs and their website information. I am dismayed by the lack of transparency. For example, the .PDF says that JCPL estimates that "1" customer will be restored in Red Bank today. Simply put, this is insulting as it is an "estimate" and it would make no sense to restore a single customer.

Secondly, the JCPL website map estimates that power will be restored to Red Bank by 11:59 PM, Friday, November 9. Midnight on the 9th - Instead of just November 10th? Thanks guys.

Lastly, the JCPL website map lists "5<" customers without power in Sea Bright and also states that Sea Bright's power will be restored by 11:59 pm, November 9. Clearly, we all know this is not true.

I look forward to the Board of Public Utilities investigation.

Or ... why don't you tell me what I can do to help out and get the power restored --- I would gladly do it !!!!

Oh My -- it's snowing out
We are Union and don't work in the snow ... we don't care if you house is cold

suggestion for JCP&L - it would have been really nice to hold off auto withdrawing payments from people WHO DONT EVEN HAVE POWER YET TO GET ONLINE TO CHECK THEIR ACCOUNTS - 9 days and counting in the I section of aberdeen

The treatment of those of us in morris county is.sinful! we are barely even mentiones. 10 days aith no power and stating best estimate of sunday while publishing articles tbat jcp&l is prepared.for new.storm is obscene! shame on you all!

My power been out 11 days now. My block went out before the storm even hit. JCP&L's CEO should be held on criminal charges for his company's performance. From my observations of crews and news reports, JCP&L is an unorganized ill prepared company that should not be trusted withbthenpublics well being. For example. There is a JCP&L SUV that travels up and down my street a couple times a day. I asked the drive why he said to check for downed wires. MY STREET HAS BURRIED WIRES! GOv Christie should handle JCP&L like NY handled LICO on Long Island a few years back. My bill was due the other day and im not paying it til i get my pound of flesh from JCP&L what are they gonna do? Turn off my lights? Im cold. Im tired and sick of the smell of gas from running my generator. I've spend a couple hundred bucks on gas already. I want JCP&L to reimburse me that money too. Mr governor, mr mayor, anyone. HELP US. The homeowners, the families that Rely on you for protection. Governor - get mad and do what do best. Cut through the BS!!!!

still without power in basking ridge - new baby - what the hell is going on

Lets protest send JCP&L a black piece of paper instead of a check this month. Lets cause a financial blackout on behalf of New Jersey!!

You will love this, i was with a PSE@G linesman today and he noticed a 2 fuses on a pole tripped, one was still connected which was giving partial power to local businesses he looked over the wires which run down my street and saw no breaks or problems. He said that all the needed to be done was the fuses to be re-set. I called jcp&l and they could not give me a answer why no one was there to look at the problem.I was told that they are trying to restore the power to local hospitals and fire and police depts. THEY ARE UP AND RUNNING!!!!!! REAL SCUM JCP&L!!!! WE ALLLLLL HOPE YOU LOOSE THE RIGHT TO DO BUSINESS IN NEW JERESEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

You only get charged for the electric you use

I live in Manchester. My power went out on 10/29 @ 1pm. We had about 3 minutes of power on the following day and out again since. I was very patient until about day 7. I rent a home, do not have a generator and its been unbearable at times. I called JCP&L on about day 6 to see if I could get an estimated time. Same answers "they are working around the clock and it should be restored by midnight". This was several days ago. Still no power. Yesterday I drive down route 70 and saw 6 JCP&L trucks parked in a driveway doing NOTHING. So I called. Again "they are working around the clock and they do have the right to an hour lunch". So I explained to the woman on the phone how I have the right to heat, hot water and light being I'm paying for service I'm not receiving. All they can say is "I understand your frustration ma'am ". How about some answers? I have 3 kids, one with asthma who are freezing each night . Today the woman at JCP&L told me "you had several days prior to the storm to make plans to stay somewhere warm. Why didn't you find somewhere to go before it hit?" Are you kidding me? All I want is answers. JCP&L is an incompetent company and way over priced. Its easy for the governor to defend them when its not his kids sitting in a cold dark house. What about defended the people you're supposed to be representing? I just received my monthly bill for $318. Next time someone tells me you get what you pay for I will know its untrue.

Oh I have no intention of paying that bill. This snow is only going to delay them "working around the clock" for another 7-10 days.

They have performed very poorly without a doubt. Confusing spreadsheets, changing dates without explanation. Delays. Wouldnt be so bad if they could just be forthright and honest instead of stringing everyone along. Everyone understands this is difficult and unpredictable situation but jcp&l are making it worse

True John, you pay those fees, but not for usuage....I know they are doing their best..I wish power lines were all under ground...But this would take long time..Maybe one town at a time...not sure if possible

Transformer fire at Jordan & OakRidge (7pm). Fire is out, police tape around area. No power in that area. Here we go again...

Just got our Power back here in Brick at 3:00 this afternoon, Thank You
Just to let everyone know, JCP&L does suck big ones. There were 7 crews who drove here from Tampa Fla. A friend I know ran across them in his construction yard in Lakewood, he asked them what they were doing there. They said they were getting ready to drive back, JCP & L would not give them any repairs to do.
THEY WERE NOT UNION AND WERE DENIED WORK HERE WHILE WE SUFFERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well power is going out again! Just lost mine again in Freehold!

Power at at Barbara Circle? Dr? Off of Bay. Toms RIver ughhh

JCP&L hasn't done squat, so their name should not be heading any article having to do with the power being Turned On!!! Power is out all down 37, and in North Dover, however I'm sure any delay in payments won't be tolerated by them and their henchmen...3 words...BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU!!
...I wonder what they would do if I send gas receipts for the generator in my payment envelope???

Go to the blueclaws parking lot between 11pm and 7 am. The lot will be full then with line trucks. They got there in the morning of the storm. None of them are union!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your biggest problem is that there is no power, and you decide to behave like a bunch of whiners and babies, you ought to just get a grip. The loudest among you are the ones with the most narcissitic attitudes. You may be used to getting things done immediately, but perhaps there are some situations where what you want cannot be done in an instant. This is not like making Jello. The linemen from all of the companies, both JCP&L and the out of state line crews, are trying to perform restorations safely after a disaster. Protecting those who are in eminent danger has to be a priority. The workers also must protect themselves, because they might be killed instantly if they do not adhere to procedures. I grew up without a furnace, indoor bathroom, running hot water etc for the 20 years I lived in Allenwood. We had snow so deep that the snowplow got stuck on our road. Snow came into the cracks of my brothers' bedrooms if the wind was right, and formed a mini snowdrift. We had no phone service. The experience taught me to weather adversity, and to thank those that reached out a hand to help. Ask for help if you need it from all of the resources available to you. So many have lost so much and may never have a return to normalcy.

Power out again in Pine Lake Park, Manchester at 9:30 pm Nov 7. Power on 571 out/going out around 11 pm in Manchester, light at 70 dead. Most power all the way up 571 in Jackson to I195 out, but Cassville still seemed to have some. Other trees had fallen during Sandy, now the pines are all falling on power lines/roads. Wasn't any plowing done either, 571 in Jackson looks like a war zone as Nov 8 begins.

When the storm first hit it was 7 to 10 days. The next day it was 7 to 10 day and so on. I thought the next day it should be 6 to 9 days and he day after 5 to 8 days. I guess it must be the new math. Tell JCP&L. You will pay there bill in 7 to 10 days.

When are we going to be able to break up this monopoly of the power company and install a competative approach? Maybe then these companies will need to hire executives that have a clue and get rid of Dumb & Dumber. JCP&L management is a JOKE!

I wish Christie takes a note of how to deal with the power company executives as Cuomo does. An executive on Long Island diverted a power truck to remove a leaning tree on his property. As soon as Cuomo heard that, the executive was fired!

Lets see Christie take the reins of this situation as Cuomo did. The people first!

What a joke I call in dangerous wires everyday on my street in Newfoundland, and keep getting lied to. They say we have crews all over your area,, that's a lie I'm a cop here and a asst fire chief. I have not seen one crew yet. Tons of people are now saying soon as they send us a bill, they are waiting to pay it till however many days they were out of power. Same crap as last yr jcpl.

In previous posts, I have stated that natural gas generators are available. I realize they cost several thousand dollars installed BUT... I think I should start selling them as a business venture. It wouldn't take much convincing to make sales. You ALL should consider one.

Day 10 of no power on the top of Telegraph Hill in Holmdel

Day 11 here. Not complaining that I have no power. complaining that I called JCPL 5 days in a row and explained our situation. Our power lines were ripped from the house. Meter pan on its side, wires still intact. Pole down out front. Their response was "it has been reported". On Monday called again and was told I need to hire an electrician to do the repairs, apply for a permit, have the work inspected and then call us back. Why didn't they tell me that on my first 4 phone calls to Live Representatives? The story never changed, pole down, lines down, meter pan on its side attached to house, wires attached to meter still intact. No one knows company policy or no one wants to tell you what you need to do. I am not complaining about no power, complaining about the incompetence of the employees that are manning the telephone lines. My company policy is the same across the board from town to town, state to state, country to country. I know my companies policies, why doesn't JCPL?

What I'm not clear on is how a town can be without power while those that border it does. I speak of the situation in Manasquan where the houses on the border of Wall and Brielle have power but nothing for the house beside it in Manasquan. Are the transformers that town-specific?

lastest JCPL power restoration estimates by town here; https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf
According to this, they estimate to restore only 9 (NINE) homes in my town by saturday. 0 homes today, 9 homes tomorrow, 0 on saturday. ridiculous!

Maybe all you sorry ass cry babies should be thankful you still have a house which will eventually get the power turned back on. There are many people in our area that not only do not have houses but the property they sat on has also been washed away. Be thankful for what you have!!!

and maybe the people who lost homes should stop crying and complaining and be thankful that they are live, since some people died? And maybe people who lost homes should not complain and be thankful that eventually their home will be rebuilt where there are some people don't have insurance to rebuild. By your logic no one should complain about anything because there is always somone else in the world worse off. We should all be happy with smiles on our faces no matter what the situation. People have a right to not be happy about being cold for over 10 days. That is not exclusive to having compassion for those worse off. You are annoying and rude.

Lag, I do not think that sending a black piece of paper with your bill instead of paying it is going to impact FirstEnergy, the JCP&L parent company in Ohio. Aim your hostility at the proper target. Consider this too familiar scenario. Buy a company, strip it of it's equipment and assets, and then let the company fail. After disaster strikes, sell the ravaged company off. Someone always walks away with a pocket full of money. Sound like a familiar theme? My family is also assisting those impacted by this, although I do not have anyone sleeping in my bed but me and my husband. My sister in Wall has no power or phone. One friend has had to demolish his home, two are displaced for 8 months from Seaside Park and a nephew has lost his business due to this storm. I got my power back two days ago and yes my home is warm now. I apologize for using the words whiners and babies in my comments. If anyone needs meals, clothing or a place to warm up, the Manasquan Methodist Church has been designated as a FEMA distribution center. It is my understanding that there are trailers specifically to assist folks to be able to wash their laundry and shower, although I don't know where they are. I hope you all get your power and warmth back and return to normal. I may irritate some people but I do not spread rumor as fact nor stir the pot to incite more anger in an already intolerable situation.

JCPL is the worst! They have tons of crews standing idle since management isnt prepared to handle events of this magnitude. Fordham Drive got power back Sunday, I went out restocked my fridge. Two days later my power went out again (not Nor'easter related) and havent had power since. Someone should be responsible for this! Why can PSEG tell customers where they are, when they will be there, and how long they think it will take.

I agree with you Meg. I just got power back after 10 days. Saying a prayer for all out there to get warm and safe again....JCPL werent even the ones to restore our power... 4 Crew trucks from South Carolina came to us. !!

Jcpl..joke..what a stupid comment to make...Telling people to kill themselves? You don't belong on here ...You disagree with a comment and that's how you respond...

I really laugh how people here tell other people how to think and how they should respond..Meg your comments is something that I would expect from a dictatorship country..Making rules like you suggest indicates to me you support dictatorship..
