BREAKING: ‘Left in the dark’ New Jersey power outage STRIKES almost 300,000 people

A total of 284,484 out of 4million New Jersey customers served by the state’s four major utility companies have been left in the dark.

Some families have been in the dark since last Friday.

Andrew Danner of Wallingford said: “I’ve tried to be patient. It’s just a ton of uncertainty.

“No matter how much I express the urgency and frustration, they’re just like ‘meh, we’re working on it.’ That’s not cutting it for me anymore.”

The storm has cancelled thousands of flights and making roads treacherous in major cities including Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
