  1. Your news desk should check out PSEG website… there was 21,000 customers in the dark.. Union City had 12,000+ alone. The blackout was also in parts of North Bergen. Many people called me and I advised them to 1. switch their phones to low battery mode, 2. do not open refrigerator to maintain the cold and keep the food from spoiling 3. open their windows… it really was hot in my apartment. Hope people think of these helpful tips.
