Great News......for Milburn

Is there power on south orange avenue?

Power is back on Deerfield, Andover, Exeter Roads. I'm in shock. Hoping Millburn Avenue gets back on soon so I can get back to work.

Any power by high school area?

Some semblance of timeline from JCPL:
https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/JCP&L_Town_ETRs_Nov2.pdf

Any power off of Hartshorn roads? ETA tonight tomorrow?

We left town thinking our power would not return on Canoe Brook Rd. for at least 10 days. I guess I won't be able to vote! I am unhappy about that, but at least we are warm in the north country.

Haven't been home since this morning but there was still no power on Linden Street by the Wyoming School. I saw a JCPL pickup in the area yesterday with two workers in it but don't know if they were coming, going, assessing.

Is the 8th Grade dance back on?

This is great news, the best solid update we've had in days. I am so grateful to see a solid timeline. However, since the JCPL outage map still reports 7100 Millburn customers without power... I hope the last 2000 won't be too far behind.

Mohawk rd has power

I have the same guarded optimism as elsie. The outage site shows 7106 customers without power (11/2, 5:30pm). I wonder where they got the 5K number from and what it means to the other millburn residents!

Come on JCPL- please deliver on this news!!!! Wonderful to give everyone hope and to actually come through.

I don't see how we in Glenwiod will get power by Sunday when we are awash in downed trees and wires.

What about South Mountain?

Any word from PSEG? Millburn does have some of their customers in the Wyoming section.

Just drove home and saw that everyone around me had power, but my house and the neighboring one does not! No trees down. Very worried. Don't want to be forgotten.

Power is back on Canoe Brook Road

Parts of Longhill and @ Dale Dr. back up.....

On jcpl website where they are estimating the households that are soon to receive power, it states "Areas that are not able to accept service are excluded"...meaning?

Coleridge has power

Wyoming pitch black

No power on Dryden Terrace, any idea? When?

What about the balance 2,000? It is good to get a more specific update but still leaves many in the dark (pun unintended).

I heard the Mayor got her power back.. So now she can lead us while she is warm.

Didn't put pencil to paper, but does restoration number fall 2000 short of outage number?

I heard JCP&L will be bringing the Easter Bunny to town riding on a unicorn too. ill believe it when I see it...

anyone here know if the downed line on wildwood (in short hills) is back up?
any place where we can see locations of specific downed lines?

We have power on Byron.

I have looked at the Millburn website and they have the charging stations open from 10 to 2 over the weekend. Cell Phones only. This is outrageous. Other communities have their stations open for at least 12 hours. I really think our town officials live under a rock.

NJ starting gas rationing on Saturday. Odd and even license plate numbers. Will post exact rules when I get all the info.

Does old short hills road have power?

I just called jcpl to try to get any information since all the houses around me have power and I do not. They could give no information, they would not let me speak to a supervisor, they could give no time frame better then 2 weeks. I am happy for those that got their power back, but I fear I will have none for days to come. They could not have been less helpful.

When will Lakeview, Windermere, West road will get power?

Glenwood is still in the dark.

I live in Hartshorn area but still got no power.

Did any Lakeside drive resident get their power back?

How about woodland in glenwood section. They have power?

Millburn Ave from post office up to Annie sez have light yet?

Maple Street and Wyoming area dark and cold.

Any word on power on Nottingham Road?

As your street restores power, please post your street address. That would be helpful to anyone who may have left town. As of Friday night, Oakview Terrace still without power.
Where the hell is Sandy Haimoff in all of this? I get more updates about the Millburn situation from Superintendent Crisfield than Haimoff.

Since Gero Park now has regular power, why not leave that district to vote there as normal?

Does Long Hill near parsonage hill have power? Left to go out of town and would love to return.

bonsie, good chance you already have power. Saw last last night some houses on Parsonage and White Oak Ridge with power. Also my friend on Arden Place had power last night.

Marissa, as of late last night, still no power on Millburn Ave. Only lights I saw were at Gian Marco and Chase. And both are on generators.

Any word on silver spring and old short hills rd?

Kilmer Drive in the Deerfield section has power as of yesterday afternoon.

If you see an Ohio Edison truck near you then there is a good chance you will be getting your power back soon. At around 5:30 last night, I saw one Ohio Edison truck parked at Gero and another one actually working on a pole on White Oak Ridge Road. Just before 6:00 pm, my son's hs friend who lives off White Oak Ridge had their power restored. Be sure to thank these guys if you see them.

Far Brook Drive has power. does anyone know about the medical office building 120 Millburn Ave?

Has anyone seen any action in the Wyoming area?

Does Fairfield Drive have power? Out of town checking in.

Does anyone on Pine Terrace East have power?

No power on Woodland Road yet.

I'm on overlook terrace, still out so guessing pine terrace east is also out

On way over. Will be there in 15 mins.

Anyone have power on cayuga? Cayuga hit pretty bad too.

Since Deerfield has power....will I be able to vote there on Tuesday?

Does anyone who lives in Glenwood section have any updates? Are trees being removed? Any sign of emergency crews?

Any info would be appreciated....

Last night I was driving to summit for dinner and Hobart is still closed with a pole down across street. Hobart is not a side street! Wtf. I think old short hills will be last section to get power. Still transformers, wires etc. down lying on side of road.

Has anyone received additional information regarding the 2,000 that will still be out on Sunday night?

Matt, there is absolutely nothing happening in glenwood. No crews visible and tree still down on wires on woodland. Tranformer box on pine terrace west still hanging from broken utility pole.

Voting is going to be at temple bnai jeshuran in shirt hills/livingston border

No signs of power in Wyoming area

I also saw that Main Street is still sectioned off near the bridge. I couldn't see in the dark, but I assume it is still the large pine that is laying on the wires. Has been like that since Monday.

Dont get it. Haimoff sent a jcpl notice stating wed or later.

I was happy to see that the tree on Lakeview is "kind of" addressed. The wires are still all around the place. No power on West Rd and South Terrace. I called JCP&L earlier today and was informed that power will be restored anytime until next Wednesday...they were kind enough to suggest that I should look for a Red Cross Shelter. Really???!!!!

Not seeing any utility Action in northern section of Wyoming section.

no power on main street next to shoprite. That is great to hear that 70% may have power by midnight on sunday (although i wouldnt expect it)...but what about the other 30%, what is the timeline on that.

any power on farley? out of town and wondering.

I think Chris Christie should be voted out--the fellow cannot push JCP&L to get their act together--the lethargic pace at which they are working is shameful. We had almost a weeks notice that a mega storm was headed this way--enough time to get crews & equipment pre-positioned. Some people at the top need to be fired. Do not now if the stories regarding non-union out of state crews are being sent back. Most shameful if true.
Why on earth JCP&L cannot blanket entire ares out of power for announced time periods, so that tree removal crews can systematically remove trees from power lines instead of getting case to case approvals?

The Essex County Clerk's office in Newark (Hall of Records, 465 Martin Luther King Drive, Room 247) is open Saturday, Sunday and Monday for in-person voting. Apparently there are no satellite voting facilities closer than that. Hours and other information are at www.essexclerk.com

Someone earlier commented that Addison had power. Arrived home a few minutes ago and currently NO Power on Addison between White Oak and Byron.

When will they remove the downed trees in Glenwood on the corner of Baltusrol and Wellington? Can't see how we will get power back until that happens...Will the town remove the trees or does the homeowner hav to do it?

Just spoke to an Ohio Edison lineman. They are still assessing the situation in Glenwood and it may take 1-2 weeks before power is restored, according to him.

There are five township committee members and there are five elementary schools in town (e.g., Glenwood, Deerfield, etc.). Perhaps each committee member should be assigned to a school area for situations such as this and they serve as the point person for the issues of that area.

That being said, perhaps the township committee members are out and about surveying the damage to the town - working with FEMA, the governor's office, JCP & L, etc., but I have not seen one post here indicating that this is occurring or any communication from these folks (other than a few random posts from the mayor) of what the town is doing to take care of ALL its residents.

Good morning! Any word about browning road, poets section? Canoe brook, on the way to the mall? We have temporarily settled (believe it or not!) At the jersey shore with Electricity!!

Best,
Janet JM

Guys working on Wyoming near Pine.

Glenwood people
I just spoke to the mayor emphasizing that we have seen NOTHING in our neighborhood since Monday. She said she'd tell JCPL. Sigh

I tried to pin the mayor down as to who is responsible for removing trees that brought down wires - the town or JcPL? Could not get a clear answer

My neighbor behind me on Tennyson has power. Not sure if that applies to the whole street or just parts of it.

The link in this article to JCP&L shows that 72% of the town will be restored by EOD Sunday. It would be helpful to know which sections are coming up so we all can plan accordingly and not have false hopes!

Glenwood folks: drove on pine ter and swore I saw that transformer removed from ground. Township crew cleaning up trees. Still not hopeful tho.

Several power trucks from michigan on Hobart by Old Short Hills Road...nothing at all happening on Hobart and Taylor

Why does it sound like the entire town is being restored except for Glenwood?

Lakeside Drive power has been restored!!

There are 3 police officers and a couple town workers at MHS giving out/overseeing the distribution of water (FEMA I guess?) but I have not seen a single car pull up to get water. If we don't have a water advisory, why is the township wasting manpower on this effort? Did Iids something? Are we not supposed to be drinking our water??

Which school has roof damage?

I am tired of living this pioneer life also, but at least i have a roof over my head, and the house is still standing. Be patient. This situation is horrible, but keep in mind that there are so many people without homes to light up and keep warm. somehow we will all get through this trauma. laz

What about power in South Mountain?

JCP&L crew seen on Glen Ave rewiring over tall new posts one or two poles at a time.

Haven't seen any of our elected town officials at town hall answering questions only Sandy Hamioff . Where are they when we need them. We really need to re think who is running our town. I wish Dan Baer was back in office

The traffic light at White Oak and Parsonage is working, I saw a few homes on both streets near the traffic light with front door lights on. Traffic light at Parsonage and Hartshorn is working. Most businesses on Morris Turnpike between the light at Millburn Ave and Kings Plaza are open. Kings is well stocked. People lined up at the gas station across from Kings. They were not pumping gas and the cones were out. Looked like they just bought a new Rigid generator from HD and were working to start it up to get the pumps working.

I saw someone on Facebook post that power is now on in Millburn. Does anyone know if the downtown area right around where Dunkin Donuts is has all been restored yet?

No power all around where Glenwood school is, no power by stores on Chatham Road by train station, no power on Woodland Road either.

The neighborhood in the NE section of town -- north of South Orange Avenue and east of Old Short HIlls Road now has power. There were few trees down in the entire area -- i guess that they all fell in last year's snow storm.

Power came on - Ocean Street in millburn it's near shoprite

Power starting to come into South Mountain and Washington areas. As substations are repaired power is transmitted outward from the substation. We should be seeing waves of power returning, per JCP&L

Why Glenwood area houses still in dark ages? Very, very unfair for everyone who is living in this section of the town. Can town authoritites please explain why this section of town is always last to restore power?

Saw many trucks out around Hobart/Hillside/Great Oak area this morning. Hope that's a good sign.

No power to Wyoming section as of 1:30pm

So I've been reading lots of different sources and the idea I'm getting from them is that all of Millburn and SH will come back but Glenwood might take longer. Can anyone confirm if this is true? If anyone has any inside info I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Power is back on Spring street and on Main street, at least down to Spring. Just got home, and it seems to have been restored since 45 min or so based on the temperature.

I'm not home but heard that truck outside my house on Hawthorne and Whitney (near mms) is working all day so far. Hope they get power up today.

Any power on Dryden Ter? Out of town, wondering

Guys on Wyoming are saying they hope to be on by tomorrow morning at the latest.

the trucks are out on Whitney Rd in the Knollwood section as of this morning. Also on Hobart Avenue near Whitney Rd.

I could be wrong but i heard the ice and water giveaway is sponsored by jcpl!

Is power back on rector street??

I think the recovery effort is a Herculean task and that all the linesman are working as fast as possible. I'm just as cold and miserable as anyone but I'm lucky my house didn't get wrecked. We all need to help be patient and be neighborly.

Any news on Oaklawn Road or Delbarton?

WRN,

what part of wyoming? thank you!

They were working by Pine and said they will be trying to energize the lines along that section of Wyoming, connecting as they go.

Is it possible for township to provide street by street plan for restoring power? This will atleast take away some anxiety.

South mountain has power now!

How about wyoming behind s. mountain?

South mountain is still dark... at least by the school. This updated timeline is a nice gesture but we are freezing over here. Can we have real action please? Preferably while my toes still have some life left in them?

We live across from SMS & we just got power as well as some neighbors & SMS.

It seems that things are moving faster than expected - if we ca actually trust JCP&L statistics.
http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/rep_m.html?region=nj

Are you on Myrtle Ave in south mountain?

Anyone know whether kenilworth has power

A shout out to town. Still downed Millburn Town tree laying on the house on the corner of Myrtle and Bailey. This is not a tree on the homeowners property, it is on the town property and fell on the house.

Any power on Jefferson ave?

A tree still down on a house on Locust. Man in tree truck told us we are not scheduled until next week. How i hope he is wrong!

If the man in the tree truck has a schedule, can the town get a copy of the schedule and post it?

Any power by glen/Farley/Brooklawn dr

Township call center advised that areas that can be restored simply by fixing the substations will have power back by Monday night latest. All other areas without power due to downed trees or lines (like all of short hills) will come later. No timeline for that.

Cayuga please

Cayuga way. Any news?

anyone by Short Hills Circle, across Highschool have power?

Anyone on cypress st in Wyoming?

What about Highland Ave?

please respond if power comes on the whole length of Hawthorne road. thank you!

According to Christy - if Glenwood School does not have electricity by Tuesday, the polling location will have paper ballots and National Guard - so let's hope the Glenwood section gets electicity soon. Three strikes and you're out as far as I'm concerned - Irene, October Snow, and yeah, Sandy was bad but when you look at the infrastructure - those poles and equipment date back to stuff you see in history books.

E-l-e-c-t-r-i-c-i-t-y - finger twitched from the cold - sorry for the mis-spell

What about Old Short Hills road? We are out of town. Thank you!

Check this out: http://blogs.wsj.com/dispatch/2012/11/02/inside-the-mind-of-a-new-jersey-school-superintendent/

Still no power in woodland road. A big tree still on the wires. A branch hanging on the wires still there...Jcpl so far unseen in the area. I will cut half of the biggest trees in my property this winter. Hope someone else will do the same, especially my neighbor whose maple is on my garage.
5 days out for Irene, 7 for snow storm, this is going to be longer.

The latest estimates from JCP&L are here: http://bit.ly/Ush7Vg

They expect 93% and 97% of the customers without power to be restored by tomorrow and Monday, respectively. Keeping freezing fingers crossed!

Let there be light on Locust Ave!

Hi, can anyone provide any information on Parkview Drive in South Mountain? Thank you in advance.

Thankful and encouraged that some areas are regaining power.

However, extremely concerned about safety in those areas with trees/wires on roads and homes, it appears these fall into the category of last on the list.

I personally witnessed two industrial tree teams assess a 100 year old tree on a wire over house for over an hour before leaving the area. We only hoped it was to return soon with JCPL counterparts. Neither have been seen in days.

JCPL, township reps and tree teams should be working collaboratively to triage areas of safety concern.

The work order of streets should be posted and transparent for all residents in community.

Clearly, after two hurricanes and one ice storm, all with major long term consequences to community there is a need for a Millburn/Short hills neighborhood team to act as resident advocates in the face of crisis.

Would also like to comment that have not seen one JCPL truck or tree truck in Glenwood area since the hurricane hit.

Plan to call JCPL and township because not seeing any teams in Glenwood area is really disconcerting especially with another storm potentially around the corner.

Does anyone know about Millburn Ave near CVS? Power yet?

Meadowbrook resident, I am originally from Germany and we have underground wiring. Never remained without power more than 1 day and yes we had massive snow storms, and the donau river had immense floods. Here we are the most advanced Country and jcpl acts cheap and fast giving us power
Lines i have only seen in Romania in 2005, which are probably fixed now. They say it would cost millions. Yes, but where did the past dozens years profits go?

CVS is open. Trader Joe signs were lif so looks like they have power in the area.

Any power near Greenwood/Ridgewood??

How should the town be communicating beyond the emergency system in place?

Inverness Ct just got power.

Utility workers active in Wyoming but still no power.

Just called and spoke with a representative from JCPL asking for an update.

They acknowledged that they did have record of the power outage on streets in Glenwood.

I relayed to them we have not seen any JCPL trucks in our area despite the fact that they took two days to "assess" the area.

He confirmed that no one from JCPL has even assessed our area yet!

I informed him that this unacceptable and would like point of contact at senior level at JCPL. He apparently could not release that information but will have a supervisor call me back.

Plan to report above communication with state officials.

This is beyond a disgrace.

Power back on millburn ave and apts across from CVS thank Goodness! Now I only wish I could get down to TR/seaside and help my family): prayers for my family who have been working around the clock helping where they can.. (just moved up from the shore)

@Sjm325 re: your post at 1.32pm Sat. We live on Ocean St and don't have power yet, nor does anyone on Ocean. What prompted you to post that Ocean St has power?

According to CNN If you are not at your regular voting place you can file a "provisional" ballot at any voting place. It will be counted when ID info is confirmed.

Craig,
I would like to formally request that the Mayor of our town investigate/respond to why Glenwood area is being completely ignored?

At this stage in the game, JCPL needs to provide street by street timelines now.

Any idea about power on Cypress Street & Ridgewood road area?

We have power back! So happy!!!!

This does not mean jcp&l are off the hook for the insanity....

Any news on power for Harvey Drive? Half got power back but the other half is still in the dark - anyone hear anything?

Western Drive has not seen a utility truck since Irene

Does anybody know why power has not been restored to Dryden Terrace, but came back for almost everybody else in the Poets' section?

@nipul south mountain, one block from the school

Ive been saying that for days... or at least take steps to have us switched back to pseg like it was 15-20 yrs ago.

There is a petition circulating against JCPL.

The plan is for it too be sent to State government when signing complete.

http://www.change.org/petitions/jcp-l-restore-power-communicate-timelines-for-millburn-short-hills?share_id=fMJHPuPjkJ&utm_campaign=mailto_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition

Anyone interested in discussing a lawsuit gainst jcpl? Also, how can we ensure better town representation? The planning, preparation, and support during this storm was horrendous. I'm wondering how many people are considering moving? I know I am. I'd be willing to volunteer to help setup shelters etc for future outages...

Looks like Rosedale Ave has power!

Entirely agree with comments that we should have underground power cabling. In the longer run that will be much cheaper for all concerned. Perhaps they can start converting from overhead wires to underground cables in the most problematic areas to begin with, with a time-bound schedule to convert the entire town from overhead to underground--an added benefit is that they will no longer brutalize our trees. These outages are a recurring feature now--three in a row. If the mayor is listening, we need a town ordinance requiring it, as well as a State Law--governor, are you listening?
Also, an ordinance requiring the Power Provider (JCP&L) to reimburse residents for spoiled food in the refrigerators.

If the Mayor & the Governor do not make strong headway towards these objectives vote for a person who does.

Glenwood perhaps is last on the feeder line which might explain the priority elsewhere. They need the transformers and feeder lines up first. You Mattel be mistaking lack of trucks for lack of progress when they are working up the line on a central problem. I wish we knew where the power comes from so we had some sense of the kind of progress we could expect. It's a mystery how the grid is wired.

"So far no power on Evergreen Terrace or nearby as of this morning."

From a resident this morning in an email. "They were working on the train station block between Lackawanna and Wyoming. They were fixing wires and poles. I think they are finished because everything looks good and they are gone.

We met a neighbor on our way to Maplewood who said that the JCPL guys said the substation feeding this area is still down and they didn't know when it is coming up.

My guess is that they were making our wires ready for when we do get power, but we don't know when that will be.

It was nice to see them working!"

Also received this in the morning, " Based on a walk around the neighborhood:
Sagamore is passable from Linden through to Wyoming.
Sagamore is badly blocked between Glen & Chestnut.
Most but not all of the streets between Wyoming & Sagamore are
passable. Ridgewood heading into Maplewood is passable.
Wyoming looks like it is still blocked at about Durand; there were big
trucks working there again today (seen from afar).

It's a beautiful fall day!"

Has anyone heard of power being restored to the Wyoming Section? We were among the last to get power with Irene. Hoping not to be last again.

Sorry, SH resident here with a tree through my window, and not a great deal of sympathy for the whiners. Be grateful you still have a house standing. Would you like to be in a shelter and dependent on FEMA for everything at this point? Have you seen the Jersey Shore, Staten Island and The Rockaways in Queens? It's rough not having power for a week but it's a minor problem in the scheme of things, IMO.

Call the mayor and township committees members. I have spoken to Sandy Haimoff several times about no activity in Glenwood. It doesnt seen to be doing any good but we must keep up the pressure. Where is the advocacy of our elected officials? CALL THEM PLEASE!

i don't think short hills circle is getting it today either. :(

Hobart Ave and the area north is an absolute wreck compared to what we have down in Glenwood, which also includes broken poles and trees on wires. I based on my not seeing any trucks combined with the comments above, I have a sinking feeling that we're all in areas classified as "unable to accept service" and thus exempt from any promise or even projection of service restoration.

You'd think that at this point there would at least be some sort of tree removal taking place ahead of the actual electrical work.

I understand that regular tree people can't touch trees intersecting power lines and that the normal utility guys aren't going to touch trees, but there has to be an end to the catch-22 so the job can actually get done.

Leslie may be right in that they're working outward from a central location, but they still need some sort of parallel cleanup work going on to at least prepare the future areas for the actual restoration of service. Otherwise this is going to take forever.

And just for some salt, on my way to/from Summit today I saw at least a dozen utility trucks in Summit from various electric companies. About 3/4 were actually doing work and the rest were in transit. Compare this to zero I've seen in SH since the storm and that's pretty pathetic.

Thank you @ Jen! Its about time someone put life in perspective! Pure chaos along the shore.. our fellow jerseyians are going without and still lending helping hands. EVERY person I know at the shore who has power has opened their doors to ANYONE for warmth and food. Why can't the "elite" (as someone previously referred to Millburn as) can't stop complaining and do the same.. and if you can't handle it, go by a generator. Atleast "we" can afford them.

Getting dark, looks like any chance of power coming up today is dwindling.....Unless armies of trucks come tomorrow I don't see how they get to 97% by Sunday night.

Just thought group would find this interesting

http://springfield.patch.com/articles/shehady-jcp-l-is-blatantly-lying

can someone post the phone # for the mayor online & people should just start calling her to realize whats going on.. why is there no power yet in the Glenwood section - I have yet to see a single JCP&L truck go by..

Anyone heard anything for Whittingham Terrace near the post office? Thanks!

To those who were offended by my earlier comment, it was not directed at those who simply want communication lines to open but to those who are threatening legal action. That is ridiculous (on what grounds do you sue for a natural disaster or "act of God"?) and a total waste of energy. Anyway, I'm done. I do feel for those who are experiencing hardship. I, too, have a lot of damage due to the storm.

Friends on Cypress, off Wyoming (across the street from Wyoming school) just had their power restored 15 minutes ago. Good luck to everyone still waiting for power.

BURY THE LINES__MAKE A BEGINNING PLEASE!

thanks for the update twong. keep us posted if you see anything else. thanks

power on pine street in wyoming

does anyone know if Sherwood Road has power back?? Thanks!

Friend on Pine between Wyoming and Sagamore just had their power restored.

Do not get me wrong, I think JCP&L could be doing a much better job.

But for those slogging our township elected representative and manager look at the estimate document linked above. Springfield and Summit have similar numbers out with a much lower percent expected to get power back each day. Livingston has fewer JCP&L customers but for them the restoration rate is also slower,

Yes it sucks to not have power, but Milburn actually appears to be being restored faster than surrounding towns. But it seems that anger should be directed at JCP&L and not township officials because we are actually getting power back faster than surrounding JCP&L towns. And if you look at Maplewood and South Orange sites PSE&G does not appear to be doing that great either.

I do think we need to invest in weather proofing substations and sinking key lines underground with a long term plan to sink them all (though that would likely take a decade or more).

At 5:30 pm on Nov. 3, I was sitting at Dunkin Donuts on Morris Avenue, I counted almost 30 "power utility" trucks driving by along with some pickup trucks also. I saw most of them went onto Millburn Avenue and few turned onto Morris Turnpike.

I said Ocean Street has power bc a friend owns a house there and her tenants told her they had power. I'm sorry if I was misinformed. Just trying to help. I did see (with my own eyes) a bunch of trucks on Parkview Ave. and I had to stop to get through and heard them getting their directions/jobs to do so hopefully that area will get power soon!

Trader Joe's, CVS and Motion Fitness has power. We live on Myrtle and half of the block from the train line down has power, but the other half of us between there and Millburn Ave have no power. So upsetting that they have power two houses away!

Spring street 1/2 lit 1/2 not lit..... I stopped a jcpl worker who couldn't give me an answer..... Shocker !!!!! We pay our bills.....imagine if we said ahhhh we'll pay you sometime between now and whenever we get around to it.... Also why is there no one at customer service at jcpl???? Ummmm we are in an emergency! Why don't they have people there after business hours????? I'm now getting very mad!

Brooklawn just got power.

During our last Hurricane, South Mountain was hit hard and had the same problems with JCP&L. Nobody in SH cared because they had power. About time they woke up. Still don't have power - but sick of the whining from Glenwood people. You are a year too late.

The tree on Lakeview that connects to Morris turnpike has been cut for 2 days and still no power in that section of town. When is West Rd, Windermere, lakeview getting power. This is all Glenwood section and we are seriously ignored.

anyone near short hills train station have power?

Hobart ave between Raquets club and Old short hills ave is back. Also, Cypress St, Bailey Rd and Myrtle Ave.

No nipul. Woodland rd in absolute dark. Leaving the boat now for friends house.

Anyone on Old Short Hills, Dorrison, Fairfield have power? Silver Spring does which is across the street.

it's amazing how this article was posted in order to inform others of power on streets and turned into bitching about the major and jcpl. do you people really thinking the jcpl workers are sitting on their asses? and I'm sure the workers are blatantly ignoring the glenwood section, makes perfect sense. Jen was right on her answer be happy you have a roof over your head, stop being selfish. this is coming from a house who still doesn't have power either.

Dr. Crisfield's updates have been tremendous over the course of this crisis. Even if he has "no news" he reaches out to tell us he has "no news"...he is compassionate, courteous, and you get the sensibility he is in touch with his constituents...whether they be parents, teachers, administrators, etc...

Leadership in action!

Agree--he has been great and consistnet in reaching out. The mayor can learn a lesson from him. She is conspicuous in her silence.

Yup. Agree about Crisfield. Still dark on Jefferson and montview.

The Hartshorn side of Parsonage HIll has power and the Deerfield side does not? Has anyone heard when and if they expect to restore power to the Deerfield side? Thanks.

Agree about Dr. Crisfield. Power on in Knollwood section right around corner from MMS (Whitney, Hawthorne, Old SH Rd, more). They were working near Middle School all day and power popped on in evening.

Some areas of Wyoming have power. Some still out. Hopefully utility trucks will lay siege again tomorrow and get more townsfolk power

There is power all along the deerfield side of parsonage from Hartshorn up to Old Short Hills Road.

Latest restoration estimate for serving area of JCP&L as of four hours ago

Dryden, Shelley, and Chaucer do not have power tonight Sat Nov 3. Addison after Coleridge, Tennyson on the non golf course side down to Chaucer and Spenser from Chaucer down to Dryden all without power. Night time drive by confirmation. No signs of anyone working on the down lines yet.

Still no power on a section of Long Hill Drive near Cayuga and Seminole. Three power poles with transformers down at intersection of Cayuga and Seminole. At least 50 houses in this area affected by this. Absolutely no sign of JCP&L even beginning to deal with. Called JCP&L and they can't/won't give any estimate of when they'll start to repair this damage.

Any power on Nottingham road?

Duncan Street, next to the Fire Station, is still without power. How interesting that the Mayor's neighborhood powered up first.

To everyone complaining about their "section " being last to have power - realize whatever crew you feel should be working on your home, will be taking that crew off another SH/M home. We are one community and should all want everyone to get their power back not just the Glenwood or South Mountain sections. I doubt the power company decisions are based on politics or demographics - simply grid logistics.

Everybody should take a deep breath and be thankful for what they have.

Just got off phone with Jcpl. They said they are having a pole shortage now.

Just got word of power up on Main and Mechanic.

does alan drive or farley near old short hills road have power yet?

Called JCPL on Taylor/Twin Oak/Hobart. They had no information and didn't seem to care. I am amazed at the lack of communication from our town versus what I've heard from friends in neighboring towns.

@ Shannon cross - JCP&L is NOT our township and has nothing to do with our township. Look at the percentage of power online through JCP&L's website people! As of tomorrow evening, 80% of Millburn - Short Hills is scheduled to HAVE power. A majority of other towns are scheduled to have only 20%! I'm not really sure the logic of blaming the TOWN for JCP&L being overwhelmed, but take a deep breath everyone and think about it! I'm not even saying the town doesn't make some stupid mistakes. I'm just saying THIS issue is NOT the town's fault and it actually appears that we have made out better than most! How about lets be thankful we were not hit as bad as Seaside Heights and other towns that were essentially wiped out!

Power is on in parts on South Mountain, at least from from Whittingham Terrace to Parkview. We're still out at Mountainview near Undercliff. Undercliff Road was still a mess late this afternoon with many poles still down and loose wires all over the road,

Can someone please tell me if Millburn Avenue near Baltustrol has power? Thanks

I don't believe jcpl stats. I live on far brook. All but3houses have power one of them being mine . No wires/poles down. No visible problem. No answers from jcpl. Afraid we will fall thru the cracks and have to wait long time for a simple resolution. Have not seem one jcpl or any other type of truck in the area. So disgusted.

Addison Drive from Byron to White Oak is still in the dark. Byron has power.
Anyone know why Addison wouls still be dark?

@Sjm325 @MainSt07041 Mechanic St has power, Ocean still doesn't and may not till they clear the tree on Main between Mechanic and Ocean.

Nottingham had power

There are many bigoted people posting here about our mayor. Because SHE is not as familiar as you are with the latest social media tools, you figure it's open season. Shame on you naysayers. This is a crisis. No doubt whatsoever she is working very hard behind the scenes, staying calm and level-headed working for the township. She hasn't wasted time in a crisis to blow her own horn in a national newspaper. Thank you Mayor for your hard work as a leader amongst mayors (how quickly some choose to forget her tireless efforts to work with other towns post- Irene on our flooding issues downtown and South Mountain areas). Look in the mirror...this does not look like a community who works together. This is not true for all, but many: Millburn residents are worried about their own skin, the heck with your neighbors. Let's be honest. It's we that need a major change, not our Mayor.

Just looked at JCPL's latest estimates at: https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/newsroom/files/Town_ETR_Report.pdf

One small problem, the numbers are clearly wrong. Add the "currently out" column with the "estimated restored on 11/3" and the result exceeds the total number of customers by 19% (over 1500 households).

These are ambitious estimates given what's happening elsewhere, and I think we need to give them a chance. I also think the priorities turn exclusively on how the grid is set up -- where the power comes from and which parts involve feeder line breaks, not the demographics of any area. I would hope the power companies have a triage system, restoring power first to the systems that will benefit the most customers. If that's true, there is a completely understandable reason why some areas are always restored last -- they are at the end of the distribution grid. The solution is not to hurl accusations about discrimination but to ask the power companies to create redundant connections on the other side of the grid area so that power can be restored in the event of major disasters.

Then do it ! volunteer to help out the township and tell the Mayor you're willing to give your time to volunteer and follow up on this. There is discrimination and it's quite clear o reading these posts.

The whole elected town leadership.needs to be voted out

Shame on the citizens of millburn and short hills for continuing to keep incompetent people these people in power.

Can anybody tell if the power on Main St around ShopRite is back?

Gail Waimon
we are out of town & wondering if anyone has heard if Canoe Brook is back with power? we want to stay warm until then.

I tried calling shoprite to see if thy were open, but could not get through.

Keep calling the Township (973-564-7000) and keep on the pressure. Another storm expected Wed and into Thursday and we need our power ASAP.

Other surrounding neighborhoods are getting power restored by JCPL faster than us because their leadership is holding JCPL accountable and demanding answers.

Summit, New Providence, Berkeley Heights are all in much better shape than us and they have JCPL, too.

Does anyone know if power is back on delbarton road or kenilworth drive near parsonage hill and old short hills road, thank you

http://outages.firstenergycorp.com/nj_m.html

Doesn't sound reassuring.

Sandy Crane
Facts are facts and responsibilities are responsibilities Our elected officials are there to repeesent, advocate for and communicate with their constituents. That's their job. I don't believe anyone can make the case that ours have communicated adequately during this crisis; let's give them the benefit of the doubt on the other two. If they aren't adept at electronic communication personally, then it's their responsibility to get someone to assist them. Any teenager can do this. We have models of impressive communication from surrounding towns. No one here has said that the mayor bears responsibility for the storm or even the work of JCPL. But communicating clearly and regularly with the residenrs? Absolutely. Part of that communication would be to let us know about her contacts with JCPL and to answer the many questions posted here. You seem to think this is personal. It's not. It's calling people to professional accountability.

Comment I received yesterday morning, "JCP&L have NOT come to the Glenwood Section of Short Hills. On Wellington Avenue and Baltrsrol Way there are still power outages. My elderly parents have 3 trees down and wires blocking them getting out on Wellington Avenue near Baltusrol."

On the link above you can see the outages in the towns serviced by jcpl. Summit has more than millburn. Bernards township has twice as much as millburn. Not defending jcpl but people should check the facts before making posts about other towns.

Anyone who knows the state of 806 Morris Turnpike,Short Hills..Respond please..

The township committee and mayor could do a better job, but what about Mr. Christie? He talks tough, but look at this story from NJSpotlight.com a few weeks ago....

"The state’s four electric utilities would face stiffer penalties if they fail to quickly implement restoration plans in the event of severe storms, according to a recommendation introduced by the Christie administration....

"Under the proposal outlined by Gov. Chris Christie, penalties would rise from $100 per day under the current law to $25,000, with a maximum of $2 million for any series of violations related to a particular event. The recommendation also bars utilities from passing those costs on to their ratepayers.

"The initiative would still allow the electric utilities to recover the cost of restoring power to businesses and customers, an expense that makes the $2 million seem like chump change."

An example cited: JCP&L spent $164 million restoring power after Hurricane Irene land the October 2011 snowstorm.

http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/12/0906/0044/

Perhaps this explains why FirstEnergy is unresponsive. We have to wonder how carefully regulators can decipher purported costs, which may include long overdue efforts to upgrade facilities. No matter. Whatever FirstEnergy wants to claim is being spent to restore power will be recouped.

To use the sort of language the Christie is so fond of using, perhaps he ought to put up or shut up when it comes to being a tough-talking leader.

So he increases the penalty 250 times the old penalty but because it is a fraction of the cost of recovering from a major natural disaster it is inadequate. I can't follow your reasoning at all. What's the connection between the overall cost of a recovery and the penalty for not recovering fast enough?

Are you suggesting that the power company (JCPL for us) is deliberately working slowly because it would rather pay fines than restore power? And if those fines were raised again (another 25,000% enough for you?) than the company would work faster? That's an argument, but a far fetched one.

Can someone tell me if Pine Terrace East in Glenwod has power restored? Are all schools closed until all areas have power in the SH area.

We live on Glen ave near Omd Short Gills Rd and power went back on to neighborhood last night about 8pm. Hoping ALL are restored TODAY!!

Ok I'm reading all the posts about power loss and am really confused. I think we can all agree Millburn/ShortHills is an affluent area. Additionally, this is certainly not the first time power outages have been an issue. So my question is, how is the Mayor, JCPL or whoever you want to blame, responsible for your lack of preparation?? Anyone hear of generators or stocking up on gas and food prior to the storm which was forecasted at least a week prior? Since you chose not to, deal with it, learn from it, grown up, and finally shut up. Your home could be underwater or washed away. Think about that.

From the outside and monitoring the Township of Milburn/Shorthills and JCP&L, the elected, appointed and other officials should be ashame. They forget who they work for and pay their salaries. With the amount of RE taxes one homeowner pays (in excess of $20K)to the Township and County, they need to make some changes. Change comes from the people and it's the resident's, time to step up and loudly request some accountability from their elected officials including the Mayor SH. The "Garden Club is over", according to one resident. Time for some
Action for the Inaction of your elected officials. Time to knock them on their tuches!!

I am staying in Chatham while waiting for our power to come back at Wyoming / Elm street- a few blocks from Wyoming elementary school. Does anyone know if power is restored on Elm Street? Trying to conserve gasoline.

The real issue lies with all of us. We are complaining and demanding action. Rightly so. However, it is disappointing that our mayor will be reelected unopposed - in a community that has managers and executives from some of the best companies in the US and the world. We need people from the community to step forward and lead. The first step should be to get our voice heard about the quality of the civic amenities. We need the same passion as we witness with regard to the schools. That would be a great start.

No signs of JCP&L at all in Glenwood (Forgottenwood)

A lot of good ideas from Christie, but do not agree with them unless the money collected in fines go back to the custormer base of the utility. When server power outages happen there is a lot of personal loss, food, water damage and government time dealing with the situation. Deregualation of the utilities did not work and will not work, they are constanly cutting operating and maintenance cost to award the stockholder with dividends. The customer base always looses in these times, time to put some teeth into the regulations again. The prolbems is with the diversafication of the utilties and having it allowed by our elected officials. The only thing our elected officials do, is get on their knees and pray to the "reelection Gods" that the utility company executives and their copartriots contribute to their campaigns for re=election. Republicans and Democrats all ride in the same boat.

Stop whining I don't think that anyone in millburn township has lost their lives. I saw JCPL out last night in the cold and dark. Greenwood drive lost 3 utility poles and 1was put back and then they ran out of poles which are due in today or tomorrow. Our fellow NJ communities have loss of home and life.
The real problem is the gas situation There are only so many qualified JCPL workers.

After the feedback received regarding the inept communication during Irene and the October snowstorm, it is shocking and simply unacceptable that our town has not implemented and executed a comprehensive crisis communication plan. While Cristfield's updates are more regular, I am extremely disappointed that he shared more information about the status of our schools with the Wall Street Journal than with the families in his district.

Anyone know if power has been restored on Fairfield drive?

Silly question...nobody has mentioned Comcast yet...do the homes with power have phone/cable/Internet access? Just hoping that once our power comes back, we'll be able to communicate with the outside world...

everyone - i know we can't agree on who to blame and who should be held accountable, but let's focus on the important short-term stuff like getting our power back on.

here are two numbers for you to call if you are unhappy with the level of communication and detail provided by our township/state/utility providers (and those of you who are satisfied with how these parties have served you, obviously don't call):

millburn township - 973-564-7000
JCP&L - 888-544-4877

if you have other suggestions for people to call please post them and their numbers here as well.

I have enjoyed reading all these comments during my third hour in a gas line for Walt's Sunoco which I suspect has not yet opened but I wouldn't know because I'm around the bend (in so many ways). We have no power on Jefferson, Madison , Adams, Washington and no real expectation of when that might happen (the ability to set expectations and then live up to them has long disappeared from the world of government and quasi government or regulated industries like the utilities ). So I have decided to create my own conspiracy theory about my neighborhood : JCPL doesn't like early US presidents and so has decided to punish us for living on streets which carry their names. Perhaps they were over exposed to the Federalist papers in high school or perhaps they are Hamiltonians and think Jefferson and Madison were bad guys. But how can they not like Adams who was married to Laura Linney on HBO? And how about Washington ? Is it an Oedipal acting out against the father of our country? I think I'm on to something ....

When power came back for one of our friends near White Oak Ridge Road, Verizon FIOS was working also.

I heartily agree. The lack of visible planning/communication has been shocking. Here is the level of communication/service from the township I would find helpful, and likely to be achievable, during this week's very difficult conditions:

- One comprehensive daily update, distributed via Code Red, email, village Website and emailed to Patch for posting, covering: emergency services, distributions like water/ice, overall state of village, timeline for power restoration, anything known about transit.

- At least one overnight shelter (perhaps giving priority to children/elderly/disabled) to keep town residents warm in safety.

- Charging/warming station open more than four hours a day. (When we were able to leave our house Wednesday, we drove to the South Mountain site that had been announced, only to find it locked.)

- Information on private sites that are open (like churches with warming centers) would be a helpful addition as the days drag on,

Clearly a tremendous amount of work is going into storm restoration. But I don't need updates on the rec soccer schedule or the middle school dance. I do need town leadership to prioritize keeping residents as warm, safe, and informed as possible. It is kind of shocking to me that there are two schools with power back and yet the town is letting residents sleep in the dark and cold.

I just heard from a friend who was completely flooded out in hoboken. No car. no belongings, no home. Be happy people. You still have everything you need. LAZ

Comcast is out the line was cut
No Eta I was told.

Addison Drive from White Oak to Byron is still out. Power back from Byron to Tennyson. I don't understand why we are still out. My neighbor told me just now that we are expected to be out until Tuesday, maybe. Another neighbor told me that asked a linesman where they were going - "Bloomfield - you are no longer a priority"!!
Yes -we are safe, no real damage but this is ridiculous! I will be getting a generator hooked up to our natural gas line - 1 storm too late.

@ jean gerardo. This is not good news! We will be by in a bit to check on things on Canterbury. I will post asap.

Diversification.....Public Utility Companys are very complex......as is buying and selling power from the GRID....competition is grusome and very complex too. You have in the utility industry set up by the parent companies just after the deregualtion. It has allowed for third party generators of power and transmission ownership, in part funded by the taxpayer with subsidies and investment tax credits. They all work with one another in an anti-trust amotosphere. Yes you can pay less as a consumer of power, but take a close look at how they get there. Back when PURPA regulation were being regulated and negotiated with utility commissions, to skirt some of the previous regualtions and standards put in place.. Deregulation was a Win Win for utility companies, They were allowed to set up profit entities, funded in part by the "Rate Payer". As a said, it (utilities) is very complex and it is ment to be. The large power users and power users in industry control and monitor expansion and the purchase generator power rate structure for individual venture capitilist who invest in the utility power industry. Ultimittly it comes down to the small commercial and residential rate payer who have to pay the larger cost of a kilowatt hour of use or a kilowatt of demand. Electricity power producers in my view they are "sharks" and the very least interested in an "Energy Policy" by the government and implemented without some sort of conclusion and antitrust in the industry of power.

Power just came on wellington ave. just in time to make a real breakfast. Hooray!

A friend on Meadowbrook just texted they got power back. Anyone else in Glenwood?

Matt u can come home now , unless it is only our side. Linda

Just drove through the Glenwood section - not one single utility truck to be found...anywhere. Tree, poles and wires on Hobart and Taylor have not been touched. No way we can have school tomorrow without some of these major roads still not cleared.

Do any residents on Wellington have their power back?...just heard that Claremont and Wellington is up....true?

Does anyone know if there is power on Edgewood Terrace? Thanks.

@gail waimon

We live with alongside the flume on canoe brook road and have no updates on power restoration. We, too, are out of town (at the jersey shore!) to avoid hypothermia.

Baltusrol and Woodland have power I just heard!

Matt, your backyard neighbor just got power back.

Any eta on Short Hills station being up and running?

Wellington has power

I have further evidence to prove my theory ...I called the Millburn number and was told that none of our elected representatives were Hamiltonians. In fact I was told that unless I was a yeoman farmer, our interests were not aligned. When I told them there hadn't been a yeoman farmer in Millburn since before the Revolution, I was given a lecture on the privileges of living in an agrarian democracy. I realized this was code for the nefarious intent to provide power to Jefferson before Adams. When I explained that I lived on a street named after an ally of Jefferson, I was told that Madison's brief flirtation with Federalism was a problem. It all seems rather arbitrary to me. Perhaps if I move to Birch Lane I can claim kinship with the founder of radical conservatism .
Note to those on Wellington : if the eponymous Duke had said that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Millburn High instead of Eton, you would have power by now.

Still in line for gas but also full of it

Does anyone know if power is back on old hollow rd.? Thanks

Thanks for all the updates, it's incredibly helpful for the deserters ... waiting to see when it's safe to return.

still nothing on overlook terrace. well, nothing except a tree resting on the power lines that has been sitting for almost a week and a broken line two houses away. still no sign of actual work being done here, glad other folks are coming online. we're still waiting...

As of 11:15am best guesses based on evidence if power/asking:
Barnesdale/Montview across to train station, generally no power, saw two utility trucks working.

Glen Ave north side if town generally has power.

Section b/w Wyoming Ridgewood generally has power with some streets out. Several trucks in area. Houses around Wy school appear to have power.

Was just up at the intersection of Cayuga and Seminole where there are 3 utility poles and 3 transformers down. Two crews from down South were on the scene doing an assessment. Very nice guys and appreciative of their efforts. When the transformers came down at least one of them leaked oil. Power crews said no repairs could begin until a Hazmat crew came in to clean up the oil. No one knows when that will happen. While talking with these guys, head of Millburn OEM drove up. He also had no idea when Hazmat crew would be dispatched. Also, he was asking these crews from the South if they had a phone number for the supervisor at JCP&L (they didn't). Would have thought that the head of the OEM would have had that number. Appreciate that this is a very complicated situation, but there needs to be better coordination and they need to get a Hazmat crew in so the repair process at Cayuga and Seminole can move forward.

Thanks again, any updates from Sagamore Road? It was hit pretty hard.

Sunoco across from St Rose app has,gas. E-bound Millburn Ave backed up halfway to Morris Ave.

Stony Ln/Oakview, no evidence of power. No Utility activity

Meadowbrook got power about an hour ago. Here is wishing everyone else gets theirs back today.

Having said that, I really hope this experience is not wasted and we continue to demand accountability and communication from our elected officials as well as utility providers.

Meadowbrook/Wellington/Campbell, no sigbs of power. No utility trucks

Saw utility crews from Michigan working at Montview and Lake. Looks like they have a pole auger and 2 transformers.

Thx for correction. Can only go by daytime lights and people.

Great Oak from overpass to Hobart, no.power. No activity.

Alec is kind of a riot.

Wow, my mail was just delivered (on Sunday!). Kudos to the USPS for working overtime.

Middle School has lights and sign.on.

12:06pm
Some lights on Taylor/Spring St area.
Ridgwood thru to Undercliff has lights on.
Greenwood Dr/Ivy lines down. Greenwood/Undercliff, lines diwn, no signs of power, no utility trucks seen.

Undercliff south if Millburn ave took a beating. Lines diwn. No utility activity.

A few days without power is a walk in the park compared to the countless people in this state who have lost everything

Power is slowly coming back to areas in town According to JCPL up to 74% of power should be restored to Millburn by tonight Glenwood section is still mostly without power and that is mainly due to the severe damage to that substation which is in Summit. I will try to get an update on the status of the substation. Last night the Library and First aid squad got power and they are presently working on power to Police and fire station. As soon as I have the election info i will post it here.

Power back on on parts of Baltusrol Way in SH

FYI: In some areas, no first class mail has been getting delivered as per mail carrier. Just bulk.

Does anyone know of Bleeker St. has power?

Would like to thank all residents and Patch for continuous, invaluable updates and advocacy.

Sheds new light on the words "power to the people"

Even is substation was up woodland and oakhill estates have not had the necessary work on site to restore ower. Sandy H maybe you could go down to check it out for yourself.

Why did so many trees fall many trees through out the years were deemed unsafe and taken down on Greenwoid Dr. Thank you Mr Linton I know you have retired but you saved my house. I am sure the old tree across the street would have fallen. Maybe more of the trees should have been inspected and taken down before they fell.

12:30pm

Sagamore still beat up. Lines down, no sign of power fron Linden up to Maple. No utility activity on Sag but utility workers have been working hard in the area. Some side streets leading up to Sagamore still closed.

Is there any news about when the schools will reopen/start? Had some parents asking & I don't know the answer.

Can any residents on lupine, forest or taylor handicap the likelihihood of Glenwood school. Being ready for manana....or is it still pretty bleak out there?

Matt, it's bleak. No sign of jcpl around. Ignore the issues with the substation, they could be here working on having the lines ready once it is working.

I would like to know why our Mayor is not keeping us better informed with updates throughout the day until this crisis is over? Just look at the difference in communications by Superintendent James Crisfield. The Mayor may be working very hard behind the scenes, but she needs to communicate frequently with the citizens of Millburn and Short Hills. Jeff in Short Hills

No power yet on Meadowbrook Rd. near intersection of Glenwood Dr.

Wires still down on Ferncliff. No sign of trucks. Spoke to Sandy Haimoff who has no new info.

There are wires hanging from poles right in front of Glenwood School. There are Atleast 3 poles on Hobart near glenwood crossing down. The tree that bought down a major power line near crescent and forest still down.

If glenwood is Cinderella. . We need prince charming real soon to rescue us. Really!! R we the step child for Short Hills??

Just called Town call center re downed poles at Cayuga and Seminole and need to get Hazmat crew in to clean up leaking transformer oil before repairs can begin. Was told that this is a Town matter to deal with and they're aware of the issue. But, no idea when it will be addressed. Would be nice to get some estimate from the Town on this.

Thought you all might like a pre election vote count ...Aaron Burr ( try saying that with a mouth full of Peanut Butter... Got milk?) is winning the popular vote but Jefferson ahead in electoral college. Election may go to house assuring deadlock. Tax cuts to expire assuring continued economic stagnation but JCPL to raise rates for job well done. Bankers rejoice as they no longer the bad guys . America to adopt Euro abandoning worlds only reserve currency and Arkansas passes bill to legalize sibling marriage, Millburn passes resolution to adopt 9th ward as its sister city and the line at Walt's Sunoco now extends to Easton Pa. What a gas !

As I was driving back to my home this morning, I saw a utility pickup truck with a flashing light parked three houses down from mine. I stopped and rolled down my window to ask if they were there to repair the outage at my home and those of two neighbors. The guy said that they were just the assessors and not actually repairing anything. I told them that with the exception of the three houses aforementioned, everything on the block and those surrounding were up and running so could they report back that there were three houses without power. To this he replied again, that they were only assessing the situation and could do nothing to move the work along. My question: What were they assessing? Why were they sitting on a block with power and ignoring my information. I can only draw one conclusion from this. I'm sure most of you would come to the same conclusion.I am very disheartened by what I saw. I fear I will spend another night in the cold.

Does the high school have power yet?

The mayor and the disappearing act known as the town council should take a lesson from Jim Crisfield.... communication is key. No news is unacceptable.

Has anyone seen JCP&L working today? According to their website- they are quoting restoring power to another1600 millburn customers today.

Pine Terrace East now has power and cable.

On the Park Road/Park Circle cul-de-sac of 25 homes, 20 had power restored on Saturday evening. However FIVE homes on Park Circle remain without power, and are awaiting a repair to a damaged transformer we believe. Please ask JCP&L to return to our street to complete the work today!!

That's any info re Farview Road. Advise please. Thank you

Ridge Terrace now has power!

Power had been restored on Baltusrol Way north of Wellington; not sure about south of Wellington.

Any update about oak hill/ oakview/inwood/stony?

Re: pine terrace east, is that to the east or west of Short Hills Ave? Thanks.

No power on old short hills road/ Fox Hill

Gas station by intersection of Millburn Ave. and Short Hills Ave.- Autobahn- open with line of cars down toward Morris Tpk. See you there.

Any news on Bleeker St?

We live hobart gap rd/avenue intersection and there's still a tree and wire down blocking the road. I don't think the power is coming back anytime soon. Unbelievable.

Still no power on Chaucer, Shelley and Dryden and surrounding Spenser, Tennyson, Addison roads. Still no sign of trucks or any one working on it.

No power on Taylor, south terrace, twin oak. Hobart ave (section near Glenwood school) is still closed off with 2 massive poles down and wires dangling. This area has not been touched since the storm arrived.
Hobart a major road to and from and township could care less. Don't count on
Glenwood school opening tomorrow.

Hi all, woodland rd close to station has no power. a branch hooked into the cables is still there since monday

Mayor - I know you are reading this thread, because you have commented on it. Can you PLEASE coomunicate why Hobart Avenue has still not been cleared?? While we want it cleared, and the lines fixed, we need information!! There may be a good reason for it still not being addressed, but we just want SOME information!!! It is incomprehensible that you are not informing the people of this town!

Pretty sure Hobart can't be reopened until the traffic light at Route 24 has power. That is a very dangerous blind intersection without power. They have blocked that overpass and the next one with garbage trucks to prevent traffic.

Millburn Court condos on Millburn Ave between Locust and Myrtle have power! Looks like most of Millburn Ave is back up and running :)

And that makes all the sense in the world...but why are we left to figure it out ourselves?! We should be hearing from our elected officials. Summit gets two emails a day from the town updating the residents. They are in worse shape than we are power-wise (contrary to what some people are saying here) but at least they know how things are progressing.

chestnut st near the tracks has power restored. if anyone would like to come over for awhile, for coffee or dinner or just to relax, you are welcome. let me know.

Still no power on Dorison drive off old short hills road, anyone have any information?

TK

Apartments on woodland road don't have power yet. I hope I don't have to go through another cold night sleep.

Does anyone know if there is power on Essex Street?

Does anyone know if Locust AVE power back on yet?!

I walked into millburn center this morning most places are still closed up only a few places seemed like they were going Open. The traffic light at millburn ave and short hills ave will be a huge prob for most people heading to work . My son notified me of football practice at the high school tomorrow we should be more concerned of our Childs safety than anything else at the present moment. Will there be a traffic guard to cross these kids attending sports programs during closed school times? Someone please notify me and go MILLERS!!!!

Also for all the loyal customers who I know at millburn shop rite we will reopen tomorrow reg time 7am to 9pm hope to see you again :)

According to jcpl website there are still 2,758 out of approx 8,000 customers without power in Millburn. When the day started it was 3,051 so only 293 customers were restored today. I spoke to someone at jcpl who said that the vast majority of the 2,758 customers without power should have restored by Wednesday. Good luck everyone.

God lord the pony express got news to citizens faster than our town government. Thank goodness the colonists had Paul revere and not our. Mayor delivering vital information

Anyone at short hills gardens (circle) have power. 2 trucks came earlier but didn't see any power. Any good news ?

Well it's 5:12pm and its getting dark. Guess no power for me and my family today.
Hope everyone stays warm and more get power tomorrow!
Good luck .

Still looking for info on Bleeker St???

All houses lit on Meadowbrook in the Glenwood section except for three, and figures mine is one. Intersection Meadowbrook and Glenwood.

@arlene same here, entire millburn ave is lite even the high school except 3 house one of them being ours.
@nipul yes the short hills circle got their power back
