BucksCO_PA Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Central jersey peeps...valero rt 130 s near dey rd open 100 dollar limit Setup a generator & backup network at the office today so we could get back to "normal" operations Monday Quick Check @ 130 & Stults road was open tonight, lines not too bad Sunoco at 535 & 522 was just opening at 3:30 this afternoon, place was a nut house Sunoco at the rest stop on the turnpike just below 8A was just crazy, line back down the entrance ramp out on the turnpike Vast majority of Dayton & Monmouth Junction are still pitch black, tough to get your bearings at night because nearly every intersection has no lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Going on 108 hours with no power. This is clearly the longest stretch of time I've experienced without power, but not really. I phased my panel to the AC breakers and have been running my whole house from those from generator. Heat, fridges, washer, dryer and even TV and Internet (I never lost my FIOS connection) On weds we had twelve neighbors over all watching the news. They had no idea what had really happened and were amazed and saddened. Freehold took a hit similar to the July supercell, but that was actually alot worse in terms of structural damage. Sandy took out a few utility poles, some house damage and lots of trees, but over all, it's the lack of power driving is mad. Today things peeked for the worst. My immediate next door neighbor had half of her gasoline stolen by a bunch of thugs, yes, she was looted. They took her generator gas and siphoned half her car gas tank. The looting has begun. We called police and the perpetrators were arrested. Still, I'm locked and loaded just incase. Freehold is still 80% without power. Best time to get gas is now at Wawa on Rt9 in Howell or rt 537 at Great Adventure. 3.51 a gallon. Good luck all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUCK JOE BIDEN Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 What wattage though? Because at startup the fridges take a lot to crank over. This is for an auto inverter. amps X volts = watts I think a fridge would be a lot to ask from an inverter, but a small sump pump or lighting would be ok. If you have a 1000watt inverter, powering 120 volts, you would get 8amps or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebBreaker63 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Still no power here... Apparently we were suppose to have power yesterday -but the power crew did not remove the tree tangled in tbe lines. The tree caught on fire and so did the pole, burning the wires, my neighbor who witnessed it saw the fires etc... and also got a phone call from JCPL that her power was restored -set back and now we don't know how far we were pushed down the list. I did manage to re-report by calling in a downed wire and have them the pole numbers. Still no power crew No power since Monday noon -on doing it with fireplace and coolers - thank God I have natural gas for hot water and cooking.

hockeyinc Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I live in Ventnor, NJ. Shockingly, my house survived with relatively minor damage. Some water in den which is lower than rest of house. Rest of house remained dry. Some furniture loss in den. Some houses around here are not livable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AR_ Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 So apparently Met Ed cut our power in preparation for the storm on Monday. Literally shut it off to prevent damage. Ok, whatever. Well, finally after almost a full week without power, running a generator to its last legs, electricity was finally restored here at home today around 7pm. What a week. Hope everything turns out alright for the coast people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
