N.J. live power outage tracker: Storm knocks out power to thousands - nj.com

The strong storm that brought more than 2 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 50 mph to New Jersey has knocked out power to thousands of homes and businesses early Wednesday.

As of 7 a.m., more than 7,000 customers were without power statewide, according to NJ Advance Media’s power outage tracker, which shows the latest data reported by area utility companies.

Weather conditions are expected to steadily improve on Wednesday, one of the busiest travel days of the year ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. A coastal flood advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. for Ocean County, but other alerts, including a wind advisory, have expired Wednesday morning.

Most of the outages reported Wednesday morning were for JCP&L customers. Monmouth County had the most outages at more than 2,000.
