Day Seven... Already?

please note im doing this on my phone and the program does not work all that well.

Quick description on the photos below.

• this is a job we pulled up to with multiple spans of primary down and broken transformers
• flooded and closed streets
• our 12-bunk trailers
• somehow a large stick got wedged bee
• between the  passenger door handle and tire making an annoying sound
• another broken pole, lines, and transformer
• just some snow
• our base camp from top of bucket truck during our 6" snow fall

It is now day seven and things seem to be on the upswing.  We survived the nor'easter receiving more wet snow than wind.  As far as customer outages go we are still relying on the local news channels and radio foe updates.  JCP&L (jersey central power and light) have been getting a lot of negative public press as their lack of information  and progress are upsetting customers to local government.  Many customers are onto day 11 without power and some of those have no heat.  The word around is to have everyone back on by this Sunday but others say by thanksgiving... that should give you a sense of what we are dealing with. Liz, my co-pilot and I, are currently getting call outs for non-outage lights found on jobs coming from a dispatcher in Pittsburgh.   Our VP Rodney Blevins and few others flew up today to thank us and check in on everyone for the day. My director drove up the other day at 2am to check and visit with  us all as well.  the food has been good giving the situation.  i should know more today regarding how much longer we will be in New Jersey.

talk to you all soon!
