http://www.lakewoodlocal.com/2012/10/30/photos-sandy-hits-lakewood/ This is the link to the website I found about the Lakewood area of New Jersey (where Jersey Jack Pinball is located).
It says the following:
While other areas were harder hit from Hurricane Sandy Lakewood did see its share of damage, mostly downed trees. About 75% of Lakewood is lost power and JCP&L tells us they don’t have a timetable on when power will be restored. Just under 21,000 of 28,000 customers are without power in Lakewood. Crews from as far away as West Virginia staged in the Blueclaws parking lot to begin repairing downed lines as soon as the storm ended.
85% of JCP&L’s customers in New Jersey lost power.
The areas in Lakewood that still have power are the developments on Route 9 south of the Kimball hospital, the Pine St and MLK area, some pockets in the Forest ave area, and some areas in Raintree.
Kosher Village, Super Stop, Circa and the Cedarbridge Marketplace, Rimon Steakhouse, Kosher Taco and Four Corners are all open for business.
Then I went onto the Jersey City Power & Light’s (JCP&L) website and found this:
Estimated Restoration Times
Estimated restoration times are now available for parts of our service territory.
Additional restoration estimates will be provided as soon as they are available.
New Jersey
• As of Wednesday evening, power has been restored to approximately 20 percent of affected customers.
• The majority of customers will be restored within the next seven days.
• Customers in the hardest-hit areas are expected to be restored in an additional seven days.
• Remaining customers will be restored once damaged roads, infrastructure and homes are rebuilt. Downed trees and branches have made many roads impassable, and flooding has been a major issue in the aftermath of this storm.
The good news is Jersey Jack Pinball is not under water (amazingly seeing as they are only a 15 minute car ride from one of the worst hit areas in NJ – Mantoloking). The other good news is that if they lost power in the storm there is a pretty good chance that it will be back on by now or will be within the next 7 days. They were pretty lucky considering the news footage. Will be a huge clean up. Terrible situation for those in affected areas.
