Right down the street, a single tree hit the guy's pickup truck, his Tahoe and his 78 Corvette, crushng them all.

Dont know if i am going to be able to make it to MCACN. The latest word is that if our neighborhood doesnt get power back by this Wednesday the 7th, the next &quot;repair window&quot; is the following Wednesday.

Still out of power. Watched three utility trucks work on an unoccupied, million dollar vacation/ farm property that is listed for sale, yesterday. They drove right by our downed lines to put his power lines back up and hook them to our unpowered pole. Obviously the millionaire politician or whatever he is, got the power company to respond to his requests while the rest of the average homes in the area are still in the dark. We asked them if they were going to repair our main line and they responded that they can only go by the work order they have.

Steve, that's crazy. I guess it's true, it all in who you know. My parents and brother just got their power back on last night/this morning, they have been staying here with my wife and I and are extreamly happy to be back at home. Does this mean you are out until next week?

Still no power and no power trucks in the area even though their main assembly camp with 100+ trucks, tents and command post is 1/2 mile from our road.

Pretty sad to see how poorly things are being handled in your area. The report we saw this morning indicated MORE people without power today than yesterday. Blaming the snow from the current storm.

NJ Steve, hope you are doing well, still have many friends in the Long Beach area with no homes or power. One buddy in Island Park only returns to his home at night to protect what little is left, no power so he is burning his oak floors (which were under 3&quot; salt water)for heat.

We finally got the power back on friday night after 12 days. Once the trucks showed up, it took only an hour to get it on line again. We'd still be in the dark if it wasnt for my crazy neighbor lady who went down to the JCPL office and recreated a Jack Nicholson scene worthy of oscar nomination. Imagine something between The Shining and the courtroom scene in A Few Good Men.
