Lot's of folks on this string are wagging their fingers at others for complaining about being without power. I'm sure there is not one person that is not thankful for their circumstances being only due to a power outage if that is the case. Nevertheless, it is cold out and getting colder, and not having the basics for survival, heat and water, makes life exceptionally difficult and dangerous depending on the situation. Bottom line, if JCP&L communicated better, communicated any detail of their recovery plan outside of a broad statement of most by Nov 7, those hardest hit another week and then others still longer, I would guarantee folks would feel better. However, in the absence of that communication we all are forced to assume there isn't a plan and if there is, it isn't a well laid plan. I would be relieved to hear some honesty and forthrightness about the situation, I'm sure others would too.
