Well for those of you who still don't have power. I don't know where it was going, but last night I came up behind an 18 wheeler flatbed filled with power transformers. It was heading northbound on 206 heading through the square in Newton. So I guess some people up here in NW Jersey will be getting power back soon I hope. I heard people saying they won't have power til December.

I agree that the lack of communication and the inability to plan and uncertainty is driving people insane and getting people angry. My mom was getting all stressed out from the lack of power because of the cold, darkness and crappy meals we've had to quickly make due to things going bad or cooking frozen things. And we did stock up on things before the storm. We knew it was going to go out. Didn't expect to go 8 days without power.

Hope those with kids in school are not gonna get screwed with plans for Christmas and what not. I've heard of schools saying they will cut into Christmas break because of the storm. Hopactcong I know has more than 10 days without school and they are still using the HS as a shelter.
