I don't trust a word anybody in this town says anymore. I completely understand that it I hard to get everyone's power back on after a storm like Sandy. The spokesman says that safety is his number one issue! Then tell me why in Puddingstone Heights my road has been blocked on both sides leaving family's and elders in the freezing cold and darkness and ABSOLUTELY no way out. God forbid there is an emergency, they just don't get it! I have called numerous times and get the run around. I assure you I will be at the ne t town meeting. This is complete bullshit! I guess someone has to die because of there stupidity and the way they don't even seem to care.

STRANDED!!!! GOING ON DAY 4!!!!!!!!!!! There are people up here Parsippany

So tired of this loose of power EVERY SINGLE STORM, and even without the storms. We are the first to lose power. 6 hours before the storm hit, and always the last to get it back. We are watching the lake get power and all around us. Parsippany troy hills is not under tree, no digging out and still not 1 power truck for help. Tired of this constant problem there is no excuse to explain it over and over again,…

I do not understand why streets on either side of me never lost power and the top portion of Elmwood has power and we are still out.

I thought Parsippany is top rated city to live. Whoever evaluated it, needed to put one important consideration nex time - how easy to be recovered from storm or any emergency. Not just the household income or the housing prices!!!

Next Wednesday???? You have got to be kidding me. Just in time for the next potential storm they are watching.

Be glad you have a home that needs power... You selfish posters....most people south of us have no roof over their head and have lost EVERYTHING!!! Light a candle. Go to a warming station. If emergency arises, the responders will get to them. My GOD! Unbelievable!

Is jcp&l planning on working through the weekend? This Saturday and Sunday, it's too cold for them to make residents wait until next week for power

Chris Eck of JCP&L said they are working 'round the clock until everyone is restored.

"Astonished" - big talk from someone who is not willing to use their real name. We (at least I) get that this is a big storm, and it takes time to address everyone's power. I don't think it's too much for Danny H and the rest of Puddingstone to ask for the roads to be cleared. It's a matter of safety. I think the town could do a better job of working with the utilities to prioritize and communicate with residents. We are literally being left in the dark.

The Community church on Vail Road has a warming center and provides beverages as well? Not sure of the details but they have a large sign out front.

Yes, Selene, we reported that yesterday, and thanks for reminding readers of the generous service the Community Life Chapel is providing the community.

Intervals has been out since Mon too. There is a tree at the corner of our street being held up by the wires. If it falls we are trapped on Glenbrook and God forbid it falls on someone

I'm passing all this info along to Mayor Barberio via email. Wishing you safety and good wishes...

Willow brook mall is open. Food court as well.
Drove past A few stations will long lines in Fairfield rt 46

i live in edwards gardens apartments in parsippany....every apartment complex around me has power...and i still have not seen a jcpl truck around my area to begin work. there are no downed trees on any lines that i can see, i just don't understand. i know that crews are working around the clock to get this fixed and i totally appreciate that, its just incredibly frustrating to see your neighbors living comfortably with power while i sit freezing cold in my apartment. on top of that, the lines at the wawa around the corner for gas are so long, it is difficult to even get out of my apartment complex to go anywhere else. please help!!

How about getting the army generators to work the gas stations that have gas but no power!

Roof fell in lake hiawatha school does anyone check that for asbestos and mold?

Natalie, please pass this along to the mayor and the police chief.

The historical society in Mount Tabor is having a meeting for the people of Mount Tabor concerning how a historic district is being forced down their throats. The meeting is on Sun., Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. Half of Mount Tabor is without power and everyone is suffering the other stresses related to the storm.

There is real chance of violence at this meeting when people understand how a few historical society members are bullying the rest of the residents.The mayor should be at this meeting, if he can't stop it. A strong police presence should be at the meeting to prevent the possibility of a civil disturbance.

I live in upper Dover near Randolph. Down town Dover has had power the entire time. So why can't JCP&L get power to the rest of the town???? There is an office right in Dover and I have not seen any trucks local. I have 2 young children that need heat and food. I don't make enough to take them out for a hot meal 2 times a day. They have been eating cereal with and without milk for too many days.

There is a downed tree on Sedgefield at the corner of Brentford in Parsippany, as well as many other trees that are down in that development. How can they get their power back if downed trees haven't even been taken care of? Whose job is that?

I have a newborn and couldn't take day 4 without power and heat. We packed up for 2 days and are currently staying with our friend. But, it's becoming too much for us to inconvenience them anymore. We feel bad to stay here until Nov 7th. Any word on restoring power at Hunting Ridge Townhomes on Rt. 46? We will most likely stay at a hotel if any available at this point....

185 intervale rd ! Out of power for a week now! Where is jcpl? A week! No power , no heat! Seriously! I have 2 children 6/4 that are sleeping in winter coats ans snow boots! Progress you say? I haven't seen 1 truck yet? Progress where? We need to get this shit company out and get pseg in ! They make progress, jclp sits on there ass! There are 100s of people without power in mountain lakes, there's paying 20,000 in taxes ! If I were them I'd push for a new power company, more reliable faster response time! Pseg is the company. I lived in bergen county for yrs and had page, this company is the best. Never in 40 yrs was I without power for a week! JCPL HOW ABOUT WORKING ON INTERVALE ROAD IN PARSIPPANY! THERE ARE MANY CHILDREN FREEZING ! HOW SBOUT HETTING YOUR ACG TOGETHER A WEEK IS A JOKE AND WILL BE WRITTING A LETTER TO MY CONGRESSMAN TO REMOVE JCPL FOR IT IS A HORRIBLE ELECTRIC COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH STAFF TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AREA! PSEG BRING THEM IN!

New mommy, jcpl don't care about you or your children. They don't care about huge gas lines they don't care about nothing. This is the worst power company I've ever had. For yrs I had pseg they respond immediately to any problems. Jcpl sits on there ass and is understaffed. We need to make change . Nobody should be without heat and electric . It is being unprepared that caused this situation. Understaffed. First energy (jcpl) needs to get there act together on intervale road . At our next tosn meeting I'm going to get a petition signed to get this crap understaffed company out and pseg in . Its rediculous and I feel for you. Intervale rd hasnt had power since monday night. We need to take action!

Where oh were is jcpl! Oh were oh were can they beeee? Come out come out where ever you are? Lol

Seriously intervale rd! No power for a week! Can you say JOKE! MY CHILDREN NEED HEAT! Understaffed power company during crisis. Pseg, restores power to 700,000 in less than a week. We can't get power on a single rd for 6 days now! Yes it is a joke! Get your act together then get pseg in as a good power company!

It's time to start the petition to remove, JCPL. from NJ.

Parsippany Lake this is the1st time they lost power!!!! 2 Days after Parsippany Troy hills area, (Smith Road, Westminster Drive, East Halsey area) and their power was restores within 3 days we are the first to lose power EVERY Storm and last to restore. How do they justify that?? Happy they have power but there is something wrong with this!! REALLY We have another storm coming with rain and no running sub pumps,...

I live in lake Hiawatha and all around us there is power our grid which is about 350 to 500 homes have no power we have had problems since irene and the ice storm last year. It escalated Sept 8 when we were out for 7 hours and repeated about 2 weeks later for about 7 hours the problem is always the same place and guess what it's the same place again. We have complained to JCP&L and nothing has been done. I guess we don't matter JUST PAY THE BILL we have yet to see a truck working. Talk is cheap

I think it is time for JCP&L to go, we need a utility that cares they just raise your rates and take goverment money (our taxes) for upgrades they never do.

JCPL are a bunch of inefficient liars. Its almost like 2 year olds are trying to fix our power problems. I don't blame the hard working people out there. A tleast they are working. The jokers at the top and the idiots responsible for communications are the ones to blame. The same general cover your ass message, that power will be restored by Nov 7th. Well Nov 7th will come in a few days and we'll see if the high tax paying residents of Par-Troy hills in mazda brook get power. Can make your infrastructure hurricane proof? how about improving your communications skills. Tell me who is getting power and when. Someone has to be held responsible for this.

I live in Parsippany and have had no power still! I live in the Park Lake Village apratment complex on Baldwin Rd and half of my complex has not had power since last Monday. Power was restored to buisessness on N. Beverwick last Thursday 11/1, Baldwin Plaza never lost power and Route 46 buisnesses all have their power back but what about the regular homes and people. Our complex and some homes on Vail Rd still no power. This is ridiculous. I just moved to Parsippany and never have I experienced this with PSE&G through any storm. All the people I know that have PSE&G have had power since last Thursday!!!! What is going on JCPL? JCPL needs to go! I guess I will get power back just in time for the new storm coming only to lose power again. Thank you JCPL!!!!

The comments here calling for an ouster of JCP&L is right on point. They are a disgrace in their preparation and response to Sandy. They learned nothing from Irene or the Oct 2011 snow storm. Even the tone of their responses on social media pales next to PSE&G.
I live in Puddingstone Heights. We are on a 1000 home grid. I cannot count the number of times we have lost power in the last few years. And the town of Parsippany, while they collect some of the highest taxes from our development, treats us like stepchildren...from garbage collection to intervening to get us help in clearing a dangerous downed tree and live wires trapping people...they have been a disaster themselves.
There needs to be some very, very, serious PUBLIC hearings regarding the performance of JCP&L. when this is over. Do you hear us Gov. Christie????
