UPDATE: 8:40 PM. Power to most residents was restored.
we r back on after like 15 minutes
Wake up politicians!!!! This is absolutely unacceptable. JCP&L should be responsible to provide reliable power. It’s out of hand an has been gettin worse for several years. Can’t we statr a class action?? Do I have to go and spend 10k on a generator??
Still out. Central ave
E/o needs to stop complaining. Its really not THAT bad to live without power for a few hours. Its all in the attitude. My kids love blackouts bc its not a big deal n we have fun during them. Flipping out the second something doesn’t go your way isn’t a great example to set for your family. *:D yay blackouts!!
Hey # 2, chill out! Pun intended
4610 out in lakewood township
Smart growth! Hahaha!
We can host a small family (up to 7 ppl) Near Brookhill.
new central near WestGate just got back power
West gate back on
keep up the great work TLS
I have to agree with the TLS,
what better time to sit in darkness then today & tomorrow as we mourn over the loss of the bais Hamikdosh & hashem leaving us behind as his presence left the world
when we start to call out from our hearts & start to feel the loss of the Basi Hamikdosh from “our hearts” with feeling & tears then Hashem will answer us with Mashiach as we say 3 times a day in ashrei, karov Hashem…. Hashem is close to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him with truth i.e. with kavana & feeling from the heart
May it happen very soon
This heat wave is just what JCP&L was looking for. The heat causes the power outages and damages the equipment. Now the insurance companies pay JCP&L for the repairs needed. This is the only way JCP&L upgrades the equipment, so live with it.
Were are the politicians?
