Hundreds Without Power in Long Valley as Nor'easter Takes Down Wires

More than 250 residents along the Naughright Road corridor in Washington Township are without power Tuesday afternoon due to downed power lines.

According to the Washington Township Office of Emergency Management, both lanes of Naughright Road were closed between Arrowhead Drive and Jackie Drive just before 2:30 p.m. due to downed wires on the roadway which, as a result, made residences in the area dark.

There’s currently no estimated time of repair from utility provider Jersey Central Power & Light as they are operating in “storm mode conditions,” meaning line workers’ ability to fix the problem is hindered by the weather itself.

JCP&L has reported 258 residents were in the dark Tuesday afternoon. The same report showed Morris County as a whole had 266 residents out of power.

Patch will update this story when more information becomes available.
