I think it went out shortly after 6 pm. I took advantage of it and hit the sack early, catching up on some much needed sleep. We called AC electric and they stated it would be restored by 8 pm. It came back on at 12:30 a.m. No surprise.

I have to say, my power here has been really reliable and considering where I live, that's surprising. In the 7 years I've lived here I can only remember maybe 4 outages and only one of them lasted more than an hour or two. Haha, I will probably jinx myself by saying this now. :D

Atlantic City Electric started a major program of clearing trees around their power lines about a year ago, and the trucks are out in force again. They are doing a really nice job of it, clearing the right of way along the lines and removing whole trees, not just cutting off a few limbs. They had just completed the area near my home last year before the hurricane hit, and I never lost power during the storm.

I'm sure that they have their problems, and not everyone is as lucky as me, but I 'm a happy customer (so far). :)

All of the more than 6,000 Atlantic and Cape May county residents that lost power Wednesday night due to a “tripped transformer” have had their electricity restored.
As of 6 a.m., Atlantic City Electric’s Website shows no power outages in its service area. Wednesday night, more than 6,000 customers had no service due to what a spokesman described as a tripped up transformer.

The outages at one point extended to parts of Hamilton Township, Egg Harbor City, Hammonton, Galloway and Mullica.
