The amount of hours I slept that night of Dec 26 was equivalent to the percentage of a clue that HPC had regarding initialization errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tube Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 i got this email from PSE&G "PSE&G will have about 6,000 employees supporting the restoration effort, including 840 linemen and 540 tree contractors available to respond to outages once the hurricane pulls away. While our electric system has been recognized as the most reliable in the nation, we expect significant damage from the extraordinary wind and rain expected to pummel New Jersey this weekend. Full restoration could take between one and three weeks." ooofah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too far east for Agnus -- much of the rain there fell on the watershed north and west of Scranton, not going to happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
