Really glad they are focusing on this instead of the rest of morris township.....

Lower Hillcrest Ave has been without power, would JCPL fix that line too or are we going to be forgotten.

They wasted those 3 poles when james street desperately needed them. I don't want to hear anyone's crap that they haaaad to fix that first, no they didn't, we are freezing our asses off without power for over a week. Apparenty we have all been forgotten. And for anyone else I read posting "why should we lose our power, etc. Have you done one blasted thing to help out any of us? I don't recall reading an offer to come to your home for a warm meal, to wash my clothes or to simply watch an hour of tv. No, we should go to a freakin shelter! The only fair thing I can see at this point is to shut all of you down and turn us all on at the same time, oh but apparently that won't happen as everyone else is sooooo much more important. I am sick of it all already, its going to be 2 weeks before we see power...let's see how many of those who cry "don't shut us off" will post offers to help out their fellow neighbor....I won't hold my breath!

yea.... all of us on the street took a collection and bribed them to fix us before you dumba$$es

Is the corner of South Street and Southgate Parkway another forgotten zone? I am assuming that downed pole/wires is why the Rolling Hills at Blackberry neighborhood has been without power since October 29th.

Police say "Power restored" - we lost it when the accident happened --- it's still out

Lack of communication is hurting our town. Please advise our officials to be more forthcoming with frequent updates even if the news is bad. Obviously lots of cold and angry people are in need of communication and help.

The town's garbage truck caused this problem, and now JCP&L is fixing it. Why can't we give this much attention to other neighborhoods that are getting repairs....OR AREN'T THERE ANY?

Really reallly unbelievable that this made headlines while the rest of us are beyond stressed and not being regarded. Not only is the bridge over 287 shut off, but the access to all of this part of morris twsp. is shut off and they haven't so much as had a cop or truck to the area. As a victim of the James Bond gang bash in robbery and now the lack of attention to the entire southern part of Morris township with carnage on James and Springbrook neighborhood it is beyond expasperating. Garbage Trucks and poles get everyone all excited. How bout kids and families and robberies and all that. WE pay the same taxes and get lousy attention.

I'm glad I'm not the only one pissed off about this. Valuable resources used to restore power to those that have had it for days whilst many of us are now in our tenth day of no power. How many more days of this will we now have to endure because of this accident and all the work to repair it?

I would as guess as many days until its done. But I don't speak for the power company or the town.

Morristown Lumber has generators-saw them there today. Seems like something everyone needs to own now. You can even back feed your furnace with a simple double male extension cord. I'm burning a lot of gas, but with a little effort and money you can have heat and some lights.

Curious if the restoration of this line brought back power to all the people in this area? By that I mean the ones who were out since the beginning of the storm. Sounds like those people who were out originally are still out and the people who lost power because of the accident (some of whom had never lost their power) were restored pretty quickly. Understand that this was a major intersection but there are many other areas that are important roadways that have been blocked for well over a week. Hopefully someone will respond to let us know. Hoping that many people had power restored with this and that the gas stations can now open as well.

No we still have no power - the repaired the pole and never reconnected out street.

Still no power on the west end of early st. as of Thursday 7:00 AM.

Some of our town's lifelong citizens without heat for days now............How about some blankets and door to door Dougherty?.........or something to show you care?

Don't hold your breath, they don't care, really what can we do, we are all hostages at their mercy. I am holding out now for karma cause lord know I would not want to be them when karma gets them!

Power still not back on from the accident where are you getting your information from?

I live about 1/2 way up on Mills St and we were fortunate to survive without power loss from the storm. We were knocked out when the truck took down the poles, but as of 8am this morning, we are not restored. The lines are off the road and the roads re-opened, but they didn't finish the job yet? Anyone else with the same problem?

oh contrair...look up. One guys screen name is even whiner ! lol

and this one "The only fair thing I can see at this point is to shut all of you down and turn us all on at the same time, oh but apparently that won't happen as everyone else is sooooo much more important." really ? lol

FYI they dont give a crap about any of us.........so quit whining.

Is anybody out there that lost power when they shut down the line to fix the poles that had there power restored last night? I'm just trying to figure out if their only goal was to get the street cleared for traffic?

Is there any comment from JCP&L as to when power will be restored to washington/hillcrest (those of us who haven't had power since last Monday?

those who lost power after the accident, It appears morristowngreen.com disagrees with you.

Those who lost power from the accident and still don't have power, please contact Kevin Coughlin at morristowngreen@gmail.com

After all the excitement, JCP&L or anybody who is responsible for restoring power will not get into this... just close their eyes and ears, so that they don't have to see it..... I felt the same as Josh... they were there to fix stuff, so fix this one as well since you were there up there.... but... Now, is there any volunteers to get electricuted, so that big time liability is going to wake up the officials from town and township to fix these things much faster pace... There are towns put power line underground... Why not that way? so that everytime Garden State gets hit by large storm of any kind, we don't have to go through this... I have seen so many old trees hanging out to the power lines, roofs and garages. Instead of fixing useless pavement, they need to work on something like that type of infrastructures....

It has been ridiculous since power guys wait for tree guys to show up.... tree guys were waiting for someone else.... so even there are people there, but actually nothing is done... We need to have better coordination and management of these resources.....

@heldhostageinmorristownship - i dont have power dummy.

Message from Morris Township PD on Nixle as of 2:30

Community: 35 trucks from Indiana Power working to make repairs in Morris Township.

I won't hold my breath

My husband calls JCP&L everyday and everyday they give him the run around and each person he speaks with tells him completely different info....sir you will have power Saturday...sir Sunday it will be back...sir it's because there are trees down on Picatinny road (we aren't even on their grid). I tell him its not worthint to call them. They can care less about us. So tell me when will power be restored on Dorothy drive, upperfield and grace way and surrounding?? Anyone know? Seems like everyone else is getting power and we are the forgotten ones as usual. Three years in a row we have been without power for a week or more. We have a lot of elderly here and babies who are freezing. It's not that easy to pack up a baby and go to a shelter or bring machines that some older people need to stay healthy. A 103 year old should not have to sit and wait for this long. Why should they have to go to a shelter and leave their homes where they are comfortable? I have an infant baby but am fortunate to have a generator but a majority do not have generators. This is new jersey not a third world country. It's unacceptable that we have not had power for 11days now. A lot of people are going to reconsider living here...I know I am. I really do like this town but living like this makes me want to consider areas with underground wires and far away from JCP&L!

still without power on mills st. I think the main frustration is the fact that the problems from the past power outage restorations are not investigated and corrected to benefit the customers of JCP&L. There has been no activity since they replaced the poles and re-hung the wires. The job was NOT finished and the crew was at the location. The managing, planning and honest(or accurate) information to JCP&L customers does not and never had a plan for this type of event. I think we are all trying to find some information to be able to possibly plan for a long time of this. I feel somewhat 'shellshocked' as the days continue, morning is the hardest time to adjust for this. Morristown needs an effective advocate.
