50000 still without power in Bergen
31.12.69
Power outages – along with the sound of wood chippers and chain saws — continued to plague North Jersey three days after a freak October snowstorm.
Nearly 60,000 customers remained without electricity – more than 50,000 in Bergen County .
Getting people back on the grid is slow going because a lot of the damage from falling trees and limbs ripped lines away from individual homes or small clusters of homes, said Karen Johnson a PSE&G spokeswoman.
“It’s a painstaking process,” she said. “We make repairs in such a way to restore the greatest number of customers first.”
Power was restored to more than 8,000 customers between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to figures from the state Board of Public Utilities.
On Tuesday, Governor Christie said he’d been asked following Hurricane Irene and now after Saturday’s story about burying electric wires underground to prevent mass outages.
