SmokeEater Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Power is out here. They've been having power issues all day from the Route 40/54 area, all the way up 40 into Franklin Twp, and almost into Salem County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures. I live near 40/54. We were told it'll be back on by 6 but who knows with these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These wind gusts are making it alot harder to complete the power restoration process so I would give them much more time to get it back on. I feel bad for your power outage, Mine was out from 9:46am till 11:53am The temp of our house here got down to 59. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanBrandon Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 New estimate is 8:00 for restoration. They must be having major issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said its the wind its impeding on them getting the job done fast, if they have to use a bucket truck and go up there with a bucket its very unsafe to do so with high winds could cause the bucket and the truck to tip over.

Just a heads up Lee, the utility trucks have outriggers that steady the truck and allow them to work in high winds and bad weather and such. Similar to an FD's Ladder Truck. It would take one hell of a wind to knock one over, so that's not the problem. There's just a lot of work out there to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMolineuxLM1 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 There is now no estimate for power restoration. Wow goodluck there. Btw the High Wind Warning has been canceled and replaced with a Wind Advisory for a good bit of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 There is now no estimate for power restoration. They've got sub contractors out there working with AC Electric also, so they called a bunch of extra help in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just made it back to the cabin from a party. We had a nice batch of snow this evening, at least an inch but the conditions were terrible. High winds with blowing snow created white out conditions frequently with zero visibility. The flurries were more like snow showers with winds gusting 40-50. Be careful if you are traveling in the poconos tonight! Roads are tricky where the snow is blowing across and piling up. Off the frozen lakes it was like a blizzard.

The winds were intense during the last hour for sure. Seems to be letting up a bit. I was worried about power lines. I am at 2078ft and on the SE side of the mountain, sheltered a bit. You can hear it racing up over the peak and just above the tree line.....sounds like a plane is about to crash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can hear the roar of the wind through the trees on the mountains around Tamaqua. It's been like that all day here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMolineuxLM1 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Power is back after 18 hours of no power. I guess you got the heat cranking bigtime now. I dunno about any food that maybe have gone bad, which royally sucks. Goodluck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
