Today, 3,300 JCP&L workers are coming to the state.
According to the company, some of their customers may not get the lights back on until Tuesday, which would be a week after the storm hit.
PSE&G is also bringing in reinforcements, including 1,700 workers from 15 states and Canada.
"This is one the largest and most severe storms that we've had to deal with in a while,” says a spokesperson for PSE&G. “So, we are asking customers at home to please call us or contact us or text us, let us know if they are out, they shouldn't count on us knowing, they should contact us directly."
The company expects to have a majority of its outages fixed by Friday, but some customers could be without power through Saturday.
