Sussex County, NJ checking in from Stroudsburg, PA (Holiday Inn Express). We absolutely, positively needed the internet for work projects, and the “hygiene break” didn’t hurt, either.

We lost power at 5:00 p.m. Monday. Our son called to inform us that power was restored at 3:30 p.m. today.

Our town was smacked as severely as any other in our neck of the woods. Many, many old trees will be next year’s firewood. As a result, about 95% of the town was without electricity.

I am amazed that JCP&L was able to get things back in order so quickly. They did a great job, and we are grateful for their efforts.

We’re checking out of the hotel, and going home in about an hour.

Wow that is pretty fast recovery. I think our local (Conn) power companies suck at restoring power, had 630K w/o power the day of the storm and still have 345K w/o power.

And we weren’t hit nearly as bad as your part of the coast.
