Late October Nor’easter Aftermath: Day 4
Update from PSE&G >95% of Power Restored. Restoration Challenges:
- This storm caused more individual incidents of damage to PSE&G’s electric infrastructure than Hurricane Irene.
- This storm was particularly damaging because, with leaves still on the
trees, the heavy snow created considerable weight on tree limbs, bringing down
numerous trees and power lines.
- In addition to major circuits, there were a larger number of individual
service lines from our poles to customers’ homes and business that were
damaged.
