The utility is saying that customers who lose power may be without it for a week or more.
PSE&G is reporting about 4,000 customers without power in the early stages of Hurricane Sandy. The majority – about 3,000 – are located in the utility’s southern counties of Mercer, Burlington, Camden and Gloucester. The utility provides electric service to 2.2 million customers. The utility is urging customers to prepare for the possibility of lengthy outages – perhaps seven days or more -- due to the enormity of Hurricane Sandy, which forecasters predict may become the worst storm to hit the Northeast in 100 years. It may take until Wednesday until a full assessment of the storm’s damage can be made and the utility can more accurately predict when full restoration can be made.

As with all alcoholic beverages, it is important to limit your intake of rice wine per sitting. Because rice wine has a higher alcohol percentage than grape wine, less needs to be drunk to get the same amount of alcohol in your system. Thanks.

Ever wait in line more than seven hours for a generator to keep your basement dry? Here's what it was like at the Colonia Home Depot (and what happened with the generator.)
Frankenstorm. Stormageddon. Hurricula. Are you scared enough yet? You might think there are few silver linings in a "perfect storm" as Hurricane Sandy is being portrayed. But at the Colonia Home Depot, there was a little bit of a party atmosphere, some very nice people, and a store manager who was trying his best to make sure that the folks waiting for generators were comfortable. It all started about 5:30 am, when a reporter who remembered the last hurricane that turned her basement into an indoor swimming pool with two feet of water, lined up to try and claim one of those generators. This was Day Two for me of Generator Watch. I had gone to the Colonia Home Depot on Friday, again at 5:30 am, and waited. And waited, because pretty much …
