What about Morris township!

Are the Cattano Avenue apartments considered part of the business district for the purposes of this timeline?

On James with a Motown mailing address, but technically over the Morris twp border. Which area does jcp

Anyone has any updates? Is the power on in Morristown yet?

Its 4pm - Where we at with the power?

Any update from JCP&L or the Mayor?

4:22... still no power. Gotta love estimates, getting peoples hopes up...

I am amused by the fact that at 230pm the JCPL outage map had 12666 household in Morristown without power. At 315pm it had 12750, at 345pm it was up to 12811 and now at 450 its upto 13445.

This is where i stop being amused and begin getting annoyed.

Does anyone know if the power is back on Speedwell specifically by the Dominos?? I want to know if I can finally go back home. Thanks.

No power south of green.

It would be worse if the number stayed the same. It shows that they're working on it. I'd rather wait and have them get it right than have them rush to make a deadline and have everything blow up.

Perhaps it might be best to relocate the substation to higher ground (certainly not the lowest part of Morristown as it is now, go figure) perhaps near the armory?

well 4:00 came and went and so did 5:00. I'm amused at the fact that JCPL had a recording call me to see if our power was back on. Umm Should YOU know the answer to that question??

Did the mayor and JCP&L mean PST and not EST? haha This is ridiculous! Still 12,481 without power according to the JCP&L website.....

This is a result of consolidation in the elecrtic biz and trying to cut maintenance costs wherever possible. Has anyone seen this substation? Rusty towers, rusty transformers that look like Tom Edison himself built them. As much as JCP&L would like to claim exploding manholes are "normal", I beg to differ. I am also sure that any delay we're seeing is saving them money.

Thumbs down to the mayor too for just parroting the PR line. He's not really held their feet to the fire over any of the shenanigans, even blowing up our library. Boo hiss.

Thumbs up to the author for doing research and finding that this did happen in 1999 and that JCP&L has redefined "unprecedented".

Oh, and remember the stereotype about cable companies having the worst customer service, the worst quality of service, etc. What does it say that a borrowed generator is giving me cable internet while my power remains out? Aim high, FirstEnergy, aim high... I best not rant anymore or you'll start hearing about AT&T cell service. :)

We're back online on Mount Kemble ave!

What about residential neighborhoods with underground facilities. The mayor didn't mention those...

I have power at 51 Mt kemble

Morristown made national news. Virginia newscast announced that Morristown may not have power for a week due to issues at the power substation. Something about structure being unsafe. Anybody her something similar?

21 Mt. Kemble back online...cable
S out though...

any power on pine st? really getting annoyed with the lack of updates being passed on to the public.

I understand the situation, but not getting updates is more annoying than not having power.

Some houses on Georgian Road seem to have power (not mine) and the street light is on.

I received a call fron JCPL at 3:41 and a recorded message said power would be restored to all overhead service customers tonight.

Power on along Morris Avenue and Georgian Road.

Still no power off James St

Where is the Mayor of Morris Township? Is he on vacation?
Larry H

I repeat what Jeanne B asked:"What about neighborhoods with underground wires?
Larry H

Love the fact that half my neighboorhood has power while we sit in the dark! What's up with that? Id like to be on the same grid as my neighbors!

Any word on 110 South St?

On Washington St with overhead lines... still no power at 10 PM...

I received a recorded call this afternoon indicating i'd have power this evening. And... no such luck. Don't understand why they would make such an announcement. Just drove through town and it's pitch black. 60%? I don't think so.

Drove by substation about 8, very little activity. Outage still extends way up Ridgedale.

Also make sure you call in your outage! That's how the numbers on the map grow. 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877)

Lindsley Drive Morris Township had power restored about 9:20 or so on Monday nite. Off 6:30 a.m. SAT morning. Still on now. We were at the Ridgedale Ave substation today and witnessed the flood and damage to the equipment in the water's path. Unreal. The folks that worked on the substation damage are to be thanked again and again. Need a bigger river barrier wall, I guess. lol. The damage was unreal at the power station.

Jardine and Olyphant all dark still -AdmiralJewbacca

Had power for about 1 minute at 10:30 p.m. Monday. Possibly related, at 12:30 a.m. I heard the distant sound of something metal being hit with a hammer down James St. JCP&L map still shows over 11,000 out.

This comment brought to you by my car battery and a power inverter.

Nothing still on Speedwell despite overhead power. Talk about over-promise and under-deliver...the mayor isn't looking too swift at the moment.

Nothing still at Cromell Heights area. Power came back on for about a minute ~8:15, then went back off. Recalled the outage in to JCPnL, got recorded msg at the end estimating restoration by weeks end. This doesn't square with msg in public media and certainly not by the already elapsed "Monday 4:00 pm" estimate. Would prefer to hear the truth the first time around... Planning on how much ice to buy, etc would be aided. Frustrated the truth is being avoided... Granted I'm township of morris but i have a 'feeling' its related to the substation, and the restoration times should be the same. <rant complete\>

Ridgedale came on around 2.

Drove around last night around 8:00 pm- I'd say if there was power for 30 percent that was generous. Still no power in Burnham Park or anywhere that can be seen. What happened to 4:00 pm

does anyone know if power on pine st?

The highlands do not have power. The parking garage has been lit by generator for days. Why would the power company make unsolicited calls to residents promising power would be restored by Monday eve? Bad move.

6:47am - Metropolitan and other properties on South St still do not have power. JCP&L should be fined for every hour that this continues. This is due to poor planning and the idiocy of locating a power sub station in a flood zone.

Epic Fail JCP&L. Epic Fail. Still nothing in the Highlands as of 7 AM.

40Park in the dark...

No power on Hillcrest as of 7:26am, or anywhere in Burnham as far as we can see.

Does anyone know if Elm Street has power yet?

8am, no power anywhere in Burnham Park...has anyone actually seen or heard any crews working in the area?

Funny, I just did get my JCP&L bill. I guess they have their priorities.

No power south of maple st

Why even bother saying that power will be back by 4pm/midnight? All it does is get the hackles up and make this already silly situation even worse. I am continuing to fear the worst and assume Saturday.
On the plus side, my dogs are eating like kings with all the meat being used up. Just trying to see a brightside (pardon the pun).

That is awesome! They should give all their customers a free month...oh right, by NOT restoring power it IS free!!!

Do you know if the power is on at AMLI on the Plaza on Cattano Ave?

Heard its not in Chancery. Anyone noticed that power restoration # for Motown is increasing rather than decreasing?

no power on hillcrest

I called the power co this a.m. for an update, since they did not deliver on turning on the juice by last night--the recording says customer service is closed. Due to a power outage caused by Hurricane Irene. Classic.

As of Tuesday noon South street and the Green have a lottery system of who has power, still no power to the residence by the High School. Even though they promised power to residences before business. promises promises.

On Speedwell and Early - power came on about 45 min ago

Back up on James across from Sherwood. I gotta say, the guys doing the work are really, really great. They were working on the pole and went around the neighborhood checking in with people. Extremely friendly folks. I still loathe the company and their management.

John - it would make a nice story to survey some South St. restaurants and tally up their losses from spoilage and not being able to serve the past few days. They probably won't tell you, but I'd love to hear what that generator rental at Kings cost.

Also, if you're still out and haven't reported, call it in! 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877). The tally still shows over 8,000 out. Your call brings that number up and keeps attention on the problem.
