Power out by Clinton school

Wyoming/Ridgewood area is out


Eesh that’s a large area


Walton/Audley is out. 


Power out by the HS and Bd of Ed - first time in 10 yrs!   Did not loose power during Sandy.  


seems most of the town is out.  Anyone know why?  for how long?


Power back by Ridgewood/Audley


Cell phones here only getting 3g

power is out in the center (baker and maplewood). PSEG anticipates restoration around 11:30


Just came back up at Highland Place & Ridgewood. It was only out long enough for us to pull out the candles.


Power back on near Jefferson / Ridgewood Rd. 


Back.


Probably the Russians.


We had a quick blip a few minutes before it went out. Just enough to make computer reboot.


Back!   Hallelujah!!


Back on  on Audley (for the moment). Crossing my fingers. We have a natural gas generator but it only powers the downstairs A/C. (First world problems in a state with 2nd world infrastructure).

 Why would you set up a generator to only power the downstairs A/C?

 The rest of the house is on a ductless system that we got after the generator was installed. The power pull of that unit is too much for the generator. 


To be honest, the generator was installed more to insure that we could stay heated. If and when we have a sustained power outage in a summer heatwave we will camp down stairs. 


OK, I think what is remaining unsaid is that you have other electrical loads covered, but of the heating and cooling load, only downstairs cooling is covered.


 I took you literally when you wrote “only powers the downstairs A/C.”


Am I right??


If so, makes sense.


LOL!  Yes. That is correct. It runs everything except the ductless AC.
