About three blocks from me. Two trees pulled everything down. I photographed this location the afternoon of the storm, the place with the angled pole over the road,
I counted a total of 10 trucks here, PSEG, after reporting several single outages now shows this as 39 customers out, the wildly inaccurate outage map doesn't even show a crew assigned yet. Those two trees took all this down and a couple blocks more that I didn't photo.
Given this is what it takes to repair the power to 39 customers, and there are over 100,000, or possibly 200,000, out, depending on who you believe, PSEG's estimates for complete restoration would appear to be wildly optomistic.
