How Did PSE&G Do In Fort Lee After Sandy? [POLL]
Great? Good considering the circumstances? Terribly? Share your views in the comments.
Most of Fort Lee lost power after Hurricane Sandy, closing schools for more than a week, bringing many businesses to a halt, causing great concern for the borough's seniors and generally disrupting life around town. Some residents were without service for more than 10 days, and others saw power go out again when a snowstorm hit.
PSE&G says Sandy was an unprecededented disaster, among the worst in the history of New Jersey. More than 1.7 million were without power at its peak, and it takes time to work through even with the tens of thousands of crews brought in from other states, the utility told customers.
"Since the start of the storm, PSE&G call centers have handled more than 1.9 million calls (more than 12 times the normal volume)," the utility said in a written statement.
"This is not your average storm. Hurricane Sandy has caused twice the damage as Hurricane Irene. This means that even assessing the damage is slow, with new information constantly filling in the picture of the conditions that need to be addressed. We’ve also continued to bring additional out-of-state crews to help, and move them around to the areas they are needed most."

When will PSE&G go back to consistent tree trimming / pruning (like they used to not too long ago)? Or is the Borough and / or the homeowners on their own!?

I'm tired of hearing all these bureaucrats blaming their ineptitude on the magnitude of the storm. What CAUSED the RESULTS that precipitated it is completely irrelevant. For all intents and purposes we never experienced an attack such as the one on September 11th either. And yet for the past 11 years all we hear is how prepared we are. FOR WHAT? Preventing an attack? Perhaps, but certainly (as just proven) not dealing with the EFFECTS of anything. How were the RESULTS of this storm (and the incompetence that ensued) any different than if it had been any other catastrophe? An earthquake, another terrorist attack - bio terrorism. Where was the contingency plan? Does anyone even know where are Emergency Shelter is? Florida has experienced hurricanes for how long and yet we learn nothing from the experts? But yet, we spend billions of dollars on preparedness and supposed protection? And nooooow, for my next joke .......... ba-dump-bump!

In the latest twist, Thompson's
http://www.louisvuittonoutletcft.net/ successor as the BBC's top executive, George http://www.louisvuittonoutletsc.com Entwistle, resigned on Saturday http://www.burberryscarfoutletvip.com after a November 2 "Newsnight" report http://www.coachfactoryoutletonlinebc.org wrongly implied that a http://www.coachoutletod.com former British politician http://www.coachoutletpn.com sexually http://www.coachfactoryoutletbo.net abused a child. After the Savile http://www.coachfactorystoredo.com scandal broke, Times Chairman http://www.coachoutletos.org Arthur Sulzberger Jr. sent the company's staff a letter http://www.coachoutletstorefb.com that said he was satisfied Thompson had http://www.coachoutletstoreonlinert.com no role in the http://www.coachoutletonlinelc.net decision to scrap the investigative segment on http://www.coachoutletonlinelon.com Savile. The Times did not http://www.coachoutletonlinelsa.com make Thompson available for interviews on http://www.coachoutletdt.net Monday. A spokesman said he spent his first day on the job meeting with employees and learning the company.
