Power went out Tuesday around noon. One neighbor, Bernadette Brutans, says she's not even living off a generator and has had to work from home to begin with.
"Just sitting at home with no power,” says Bernadette Brutans. “Relying on a battery from the phone with the charger. Just trying to see if I can get a hotel somewhere possibly for the next four or five days.
Brutans says she heard a crack Tuesday around 12:30 p.m., and that's when a branch came crashing down.
Downed trees are making it dangerous to drive around. A number of streets are still closed.
Just around Skyline Drive in Morris Township, about 100-500 are without power in the neighborhood alone.
