TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Five days after severe
thunderstorms slammed into southern New Jersey, some 16,000 homes and businesses
are still without electricity.
Atlantic City Electric crews have been restoring power nonstop since the
storm hit early Saturday.
At the peak of the outage, 206,000 power customers in New Jersey were going
without electricity.
The utility company says all customers should have power back by sometime
Friday.
Meanwhile, conditions are still harsh for those without power. Forecasters
expect high temperatures to remain in the 90s every day through
Sunday.
