John,


Just got my power back on today around 3:00 pm. My son who also lives in town but on the opposite side of me, still does not have power, but they think they will get it on by midnight. I also talked with a few of the insiders of JCP&L and they told me that I had better make sure that I have a lot of gas for my generator.

Harold:
JC is getting a lot of heat!! Yesterday AM (Thurs) I saw at leats 12 trucks from a POCO in Ohio, hustling north on the GSP in Monmouth County.

I've been under the arm of my guardian angels power wise at home. Radio this AM said 50% of the remaining 5% will be restored this weekend.

Not to jinx myself, but it may be time for another gen for the house.

Buying a generator is the best way to insure the power will not go out ... until your generator sits around so long that it won't start.

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member-
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds –
November!

Just had a friend who works for a custom home builder ($1M+) who is looking for a gen source. My first question...what's up with your EC?? Response was...he has no source! (?)

Suggested to try the local Kohler Distributor. What is your nieces area??
