Electrical power was lost Thursday morning at about 9 a.m. (later in some places) and was restored in most places shortly before 11:30. The blackout covered a good part of Ocean Grove north of Main Avenue. According to firemen at the scene, a wire snapped at the entrance to the Grove (above).
A second transformer, at Beach and Seaview, also seems to have been involved, according to a JCP&L worker we spoke with.
The Asbury Park Press reported that about 1,100 customers were without power.
