Ertel Construction continues to provide power restoration in New Jersey after the Nor’easter storm hit the area on Wednesday, November 7, 2012. At least 658,000 utility customers remained without electricity across the region, most of them in New York and New Jersey. The New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, told reporters Thursday morning that the nor’easter was responsible for 167,000 new outages, but praised utility workers who were trying to get the lights and heat back on. Christie said “These men and women on the utility companies are working 16-hour days.”

In October, just a day after Hurricane Sandy, our crews were fully engaged in storm restoration in the hardest hit areas of Northern Virginia assisting Dominion Power. Power was restored to all customers and then Ertel’s crew’s moved north to provide restoration to other utility customers.
Hurricane Sandy compared to land was about the size of Texas, a massive storm in diameter. The strength of the storm set a record for barometric pressure. The approach of the storm combined with the strength produced major storm surges to New York City where the harbor reported a record level 32 foot waves.
