TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Utility crews in storm-ravaged southern New Jersey are working to restore electricity.
Atlantic City Electric says nearly 100,000 homes and businesses are without
service. That's down from about 206,000 at the height of the storm.
Atlantic and Cumberland counties are hardest hit. The utility says it could
take until Friday to restore everyone.
Those without electricity aren't facing the humidity that left them
sweltering throughout the weekend. Still temperatures are in the upper 80s and
low 90s.
Violent storms left behind a path of destruction worse than Tropical Storm
Irene.

County.
