Good morning all, this is day three of our restoration efforts in new jersey. Are base camp is set up at the First Energy stadium. Dominion has brought in enough 12 bunk sleeping campers for roughly 300 men. We also have our mobile command unit set up for communication throughout our unit. it wasn't until this trip that i have finally realized how advanced and superior our company truly is. Below is a panoramic of some of the buckets set up in our parking lot.
Now to let you know the conditions quickly. there are 12 people per trailer in bunk style. we have a large base camp style tent for food around the clock. one bonus is that they bought a 55" Led samsung screen for us to watch football and news. the food has been good, just normal things like soup, chicken, salads, etc. showers are in a different trailer as well as bathrooms. everything is heated and ventilated.
So far the utility company we are working for seems quite overwhelmed. Thus we have yet to be as productive as we would be in Virginia, which is expected. they have no maps for us to let us know how the circuits run from the substation. W
at Dominion we have everything on computers from which we upload are damages. regardless a long couple days...
a few pictures above show the beach area near point pleasant and Belmar nj.
that's all for now. i hope this gives a little idea about things. the beach are spared alot of electric utility damage but expansive flooding and wind damage. We are at Redbank today where alot of damage from trees has been identified.
Talk to all of you soon.
Andrew
