OT: Power Outage in Linden
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
Power went out in EB around noon - PSEG website said it would be out until 9:30am Thursday, but it came back on about an hour ago.
Well, you know this concerns me. I did not know you were in Linden. Im hoping to get back soon for a visit.
My original topic was Power Outage. Guess the admins added in Linden
Believe that's their standard time frame to tell people once they hit a certain number of outages. Because my mother-in-law down in Bordentown got the same time frame Thank God it's cool and not humid tonight. Fan on a generator might just do the trick.
Lost power in Manalapan at 12:15pm. Still off now. Have JCP&L. Estimated turn on is Xmas lol
JCP&L certainly seems worse than the other power companies. I guess it’s locations and equipment ?
Power came back on yesterday at 430, out at 6. Whole neighborhood has power back last night by 10pm but my street was dark, and the power is still out this morning. Website and text updates say restoration by 1130pm thursday. Pretty annoying. (I have PSEG)
They are worse
We have been out since about 11:30 yesterday
We have an entire house generator as do about 10 of my neighbors
Out in Parsippany since noon yesterday. No timetable for restoration.
Much of the town seems out, been driving around yet all I saw was two downed wires. Weird.

Not sure exactly but I believe Linden should be pretty much back.
PSEG map says Linden has 93 outages, 514 people affected

PSEG = pretty shitty electric and gas
Entire neighborhood has power but my block is still dark. Apparently we on a grid with the neighborhood on the other side of the tpke - where I hear a breaker has to be reset, which of course they won't do because there's "more important" stuff to do.
I understand everything got f'd up but it's still ridiculous. In EB this was like an hour long storm, no sandy. Pretty fed up...

I lived in areas covered by PSEG AND JCPL and I found PSEG was far superior
Significantly less outages and when they occurred they were fixed way sooner
I used to tend to agree. My parents in HP are PSEG, my grandmother in Monroe, jcpl. During sandy my parents lost power for 1 night, my grandmother for a week. This time, my mom lost power for about an hour in HP, my grandmother lost power but it was back by 3pm this afternoon, and my girlfriend's parents down in seaside (also jcpl) got power back in the middle of the night last night. In my travels today, I didn't see a single PSEG or jcpl crew working.
Just seems like they got caught with their pants down yesterday and it doesn't seem like they're doing much to pick them back up.
I think you just got unlucky (as per where your home is on the grid). That's all.
interesting . Lots of things come into a real estate decision . Maybe electric service should be a factor
Never lost power in Manchester, but one of my sisters and her family still don’t have power in Howell.
I donated all my money to rutgers build fund like you told me so cant afford a whole house generator.
I also have JCPL. Not sure what power Gods I inadvertently paid homage to, but went out around 4pm power back on by 10pm. And most of Howell is still out. My wife and I jumped in the shower as soon as it came on to make sure we were clean in case it went back out. We have our own well.
Lost power for 3-4 days in March 2018.
Going on 36 hours now.
Definitely going to look into it.
