PHOTO: Hundreds of families in Brookhill and the surrounding areas of Brook Road and East 7th lost power Shabbos afternoon. The outage came at about 1:30 PM, and was reportedly caused by a fire on Brook Road.Meanwhile, about 6,000 more families – including Coventry and surrounding and other areas – got back power over Shabbos.
There’s still about 12,500 without power.
Gave away all our flashlites and yartzeit to other ppl!!! We heard transformer blew thats why no power!
Help!!!!
Anyone know gas is available this motzai?
Most of Raintree lost power over shabbos as well.
Any update on when they are going to turn it back on???????
Does anyone know how long it will be off?
Some residents also lost power on friday afternoon so when u say 6000 got back some hundreds or more also lost!
14th and Princeton, still no power.
Some on Princeton and monmouth ave also lost over shabbos
could any1 list the areas that got back electric so ppl that went out of town cvould know if they got back electric
JCPL Lost a substation when they were restoring power now they have to go back and reroute the power through a different station..this one also took out part of howell and brick..gonna be a longer couple days..they are working as fast as they can..but not good enough for some Lakewood Residents..they work 16hrs on and 8 hrs off…even electricians need some sleep..
I was told 3 or 4 from a JCP&L supervisor
Power outage. ain’t nobody got time for that
does anyone know it louisburg square has power?
A Country Place lost power Friday afternoon and is still out
we, in Westgate also lost power before Shabbos and would like to thank Mr. Langert for being on top of it and assuring us that the power will be restored shortly. Indeed, mr. Langert made a great effort to assure that the workers do not leave until the restoration of power was completed. Thank you Mr. Langert!!!
The madness continues. Everyone should gather in front of the JCP & L depot on the 9 to protest. How about tomorrow morning before seder?
Does anyone have an update? Is this a quick fix or a long haul?
Been on the phone with JCPL now for over 20 minutes. They said they have no information as to our area, and we tried to tell them that this is not hurricane related and that someone shut us off and should turn us back on.
Additionally, they said only 4 or 5 ppl called, which we informed them is not possible to be accurate.
Bottom line – they have no clue.
so of all the people screaming on the folks complaining about the service from JCP&L should read the above comment #5
Lying and incompetent. The transformer’s blown. It may be a while. Who pays for the food I restocked up on?
thats definitly made up.
well, just wondering why the electricity went off for an hour and a half during the night friday night and it was before the “FIRE THAT CAUSED NO ELECTICITY?” something seems odd.
When we called they said “We should check it out by WEdnesday.” By Wednesday? good luck everyone. guess we godda empathise w everyone!! :()
sometimes this is the only way to teach us how to appreciate everything Hashem gives us & not to take everything for granted. i.e. take something very dear away from yourself when you NEED it & then start using it again a day/week later, you will really appreciate it & also see the amazing ways the way it works etc….
if we stop taking things for granted & show Hashem the proper hakoras hatov we owe, for everything Hashem gives us, then we will not need to lose things, for it to remind us about everything Hashem gave & continues to give us
This is outrageous. Everyone reading this should call JCP&l. Neighborhoods between Raintree and the Villas are knocked out because of this.
Just called again. They have no clue is right. Waiting for a supervisor now. Will keep you posted.
What is wrong with you people?!?!?!?! Shut up And stop complaining!!!!!! We’ve been out of power since MONDAY…learn to grow up, wait patiently and stop acting like insane spoiled babies!!!!!
Wonder how Sandy would’ve disconnected my electric meter is she wanted to. Wonder how long it would take them to fix it. Here’s the deal-they knew it was coming-why didn’t THEY prepare like we were asked to? Look for the union label right?!
Btw it’s says hundreds? There are hundreds of homes in rain tree alone. This is to the villas.
an electrical wire snapped and was burning so jcp&l had to close the electric. now we have to wait for that wire to be repaired so they can turn the electric back on.
Everyone reading this – please call JCP&L and let them know you are out of power. If you don’t call they won’t come.
!!!!!!! kosher village is open with a big generator !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a worker from Alabama Power at the brook rd downed wire. He says he’s waiting for a crew that was dispatched to the site. He claims that they will start working on it as soon as the crew arrives and hopefully will be restored very soon!
This is nuts I’m freezing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They r in middle of fixing it!!!!! Check out the end of brook rd (by imperial ct) there r trucks there fixing it!!!
WHEN BROOKHILL GETS POWER, PLEASE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
c’mon #30 give us an update!
There are roughly 22 Alabama power trucks in the brook road brook park and schusters farm area working on the situation if they are left alone they can be on track to have it back by midnight.
Let’s hope and pray this IS the case.
