Toms River: Many parts of the East TR and Island Heights sections of town are experiencing power outages this morning. JCP&L is aware and currently on scene at the Manitou Substation. We have no idea why the circuit keeps blowing, but it usually means a pole was struck or animal got into some wires.

Please do NOT ever call 911 or police departments to report a power outage unless it’s a real emergency. Call your local utility. JCP&L’s 24 hour outage line is 1-800-662-3115.
