Approximately 1,300 JCP&L customers in Lakewood are without power, and over 6,000 in Jackson, as crews continue to correct downed wires and utility poles.
The electric company has a standard message on the site which reads, “We are experiencing power outages due to severe weather and are assessing damage. We will provide estimated restoration times when they are available.”
Over 700 in Toms River are also without power.
It’s funny, a power wire was accross North Lake Drive all night protected by Lakewood police. JCP&L showed up at 8 am cut the cable to reopen the street but did not restore power.
