Power Outage in Northern NJ

PSEG says Newark is out, large portions of Essex, and some other areas I can't remember. It is a very large area.

I have no electricity .

73 outside, 81 in house.

I have battery powered fans.

They said 7 am to have it fixed.

they had two bucket trucks re-wiring on a big power pole.
The trucks are gone: no electricity.

I am at the public library which is deliciously cool.
