Is that the park by the bowling alley? Thanks for the pictures stay safe doing it.

Yes, it is. Taken around 11 a.m. and the parking lot was starting to flood as well.

So, it seems like the Hackensack River is rising due to the swelling of New York Harbor water ( and the Hudson River); in other words, the water is coming from the south of Hackensack, Teaneck, and Bogota.

Is that correct? thanks for your coverage.

Being Governor Christie has such a desire to keep the cap at 2%, Police, Fire, EMT's, emergency service workers should only give a 2% effort at todays storm!

All of west Englewood ave, ogden ave , Rutland are out of power.

Magnolia Road has a transformer fire on the lawn of a house, pole has fallen on a house. Firefighters are here.

Thanks for all the updates. We, here in Southern California, are hoping for the best and the least amount of damage to my hometown and all the surrounding areas.

I LIVE IN NY AND MY GRANDFATHER LIVES ON KENWOOD PLACE AND RIVER ROAD I KNOW THE POWER IS OUT, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE ARE DOWN TREES THERE?

Noah, thanks for the continued updates. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get power back before the seven days.

If the problem is only downed wires, shouldn't the power return soon?

I have family in Teaneck and I hear the power is still out. Any word on when it may be back on?

thanks for the updates of the town I was born in Teaneck, NJ. I live down here in Corsicana, TX where it's going to be 80 degrees and sunshine today - how I'd like to send the sunshine up there instead of what the east coast endured.

any power back on in teaneck

Some in the southeast area of town, near the Glenpointe, is back.

Hi. I have family near Irvington Road and Teaneck Road. We're worried about them. Any idea if those neighborhoods are ok?

anyone know if ceder lane and queen anne road area has power yet?

Power came on around 345pm power on Degraw near hickory! Yeah!!!!! washing clothes!!!!

Power back on near DeGraw/Queen-Anne

anyone know anything about what happened on Alicia Avenue? cannot get thru to friends there.

hi was there any houses flooded inTeaneck?

anyone see if the stop lights are working at cedar lane and queen anne or is it still without power

I blame the tree huggers on the town council for a lot of these problems. Those stupid waste-of-money solar panels on the utility and light poles had to have caused some of the pole collapses with all the extra weight and imbalance they added to the poles.
Vote 'em all out!

From River Road north of FDU all the way to the New Milford boarder is a bl k hole. Not a single light is on.

Folks please be careful driving. I have can't believe how unsafe most folks are driving. The cones forcing only right hand turns are there for a reason. Drivers just go around them and are causing accidents.

No lights in town except for some south of cedar lane by degraw, glenpointe and the hospital - who determines the priority order of who gets their power fixed first? Going into 3rd day without power and kids are getting restless

traffic light and power near teaneck rd/ cedar lane still out. Most of east cedar lane out of power. Thanks Noah for the updates and this site.

Power should be restores three to six days or five data from what date?

I just drove my wife to work. So far it looks like the restoration effort is nowhere to be seen. The power is still out on all of Teaneck other than in small isolated areas. Power is on on Teaneck road between Holyname and Degraw Ave. Other than that it's all dark.

Pseg has states that they have dedicated crews just for Teaneck. However I think that is just lip service. If there were we would see a faster recovery. Yes I know this storm caused unprecedented damage. Yeah sure, that is what they said about the October snow storm and hurricane Irrien. It seems like every weather event cause unprecedented never before seen damage for pseg. It really goes to show just how poorly their infrastructure has been planned. I think my three yearold can plan a better more redundant infrastructure.

Has anyone heard anything from PSEG about power returning in Teaneck, or are their lines still jammed?

Power is back in parts of Teaneck. As of last night, some areas around Glenpointe were restored. This morning power was restored around West Englewood and Sussex Road area. Most of town still without power as of this morning.

I saw many many trucks in the staging area of GS Plaza -- with crews -- not doing much. I am sure they are between jobs

my daugther in teaneck received a text message that her power will not be restored for at least another week! no excuse for pseg poor service

Traffic lights are now working g at the intersection of west Englewood ave and sussex

Bill- that is typical of pseg. Yeah they are working all night long...yeah right.

How do u get thru to the town to report the township tree down on your property along with the wiring from poles? This is absolutely ridiculous that this town has such poor communication services or backup plan for a disaster such as this. They all need to be fired for incompetency. People on lines for gas like this is the great depression. No police with bullhorns riding thru neighborhoods to let residents know anything. Horrible absolute waste of my 14,000 in property tax payment!

And why is the crowne plaza in englewood charging you 140$ for a room without heat or power But hot water?

And PSEG called to see if i had power this am? You mean you dont know who has power or not? No i dont have power and your wires are on my lawn tied up in the towns tree that uprooted! Im so angry that simple common sense actions are not being taken that could make this extremely difficult time for everyone at least a lil smoother.

Has anyone driven by Queen Anne and Cedar Lane, and seen if the traffic lite is on?

Unlike Irene, the area's power substations did not flood, Broughton said. Most of the local outages were caused by high winds snapping trees.

We should get rid of all these giant trees that cause so much trouble, property damage and loss of life every time there is a storm. No more planting trees that can grow more than 10 feet tall.

Alise Renee: Teaneck sucks.......

Zizi I agree 100 %year with you. All these monster size trees have to go. I think it's time to force the township to cut them down. As for the PD not going up streets and letting people know what is going on. Why would they do that? Everyone including the broke elderly must have an phone with data..right? This town is a total waste of money. Fire all the township managers Nd hire someone who has a partial working brain cell.

@ teaneck resident -everyones cell phone is not working,people are conserving usage as well b/c charging it is also a concern. The point of the police or emergency forces doing that is COMMUNICATION! How are the elderly to know that the police station or GSP has charging stations. I had to drive over to my coworkers sisters house to check on her b/c he has not been able to get her on the phone since this started. Someone is going to die alone, in the cold, in the dark before any sense occurs to anyone that this town is not managed or operating effectively. I still dont know who to call about the towns tree thats blocking my front door and tangled in pseg's wires on the ground. Whats teanecks services during this time. NONE!

i agree 100% about cutting all those old trees..its about time when township need to spend some money and be worth of our property taxes of around 1000 per month..

@Teaneck_Resident. I agree with you. We need to merge the township with other towns that do a better job than this sorry town of Teaneck. We have 54 employees at public works department... I have not seen a single one in my neighborhood in three days. Where are they? Trees are down... streets are blocked...... it is amazing how these people keep their jobs?

Fire all the township red tape..... no questions asked.

Where is PSE&G? I have not seen one PSE&G truck since the power went out. Part of Queen Anne Road is still closed with downed wires. When will PSE&G start work in Teaneck?

@janu: Cutting down the giant trees can in fact bring some revenue. Let us open a public tender to all lumber companies to come and harvest what they can from Teaneck and provide much needed financial resources.

tweet your frustration to pseg customer service @psegcares

does anyone know if areas of sussex road have power? if so..between which blocks?

People i know on herrick south of cedar and on highland have power. as of an hour ago, nothing on cedar lane. pls whoever drives by cedar post here if you see lights

Are PSE&G asleep? I haven't spotted them in Teaneck. Where is this clock around which they are working? Shameful! We didn't have significant flooding. No blown up transformers. What is taking so long?

Where the hell is pseg..teanecks dpw..and the non seen management of this town! Ive seen more police officers in bergenfield managing the 5hr line for gas than ive seen on teanecks streets all week! If this foolishness continues they all have no one to blame but themselves when residents start acting out of frustration. 14,000 in property taxes for incompetent dereliction of duties!

Who determines the priority zones? You know why schools are still closed? Because there have been no pseg trucks working in those areas - there are still streets near Teaneck high that are blocked with trees and or power lines - where are the updates from the town? This is a great blog but not a replacement for official communication from the town - where is the deputy mayor and town council? Why are they not sending out daily communications on timing - #bigletdownTneck

Didn't meant to single out Katz but he's the most publicity seeking out of them all. But would also be nice to see Mayor Hameeduddin put out a statement. And what about Lorretta Weinberg, her office is on Cedar Lane. She should be raising a fuss about this.

Dan JCP. serious question: what do you want them to say? Do you REALLY think Katz or the Mayor can do anything about this? Have you noticed it is a MUCH bigger problem. We are not talking about hte Mayor of New York or Christie. Teaneck means NOTHING to PSEG. Statements and small town politics will do nothing.

I did read todays Patch story about Christie bringing more workers. Thats a good step. But its a much bigger problem then just Teaneck. Millions of people are impacted. THis is a problem with PSEG and the state and federal govt who oversee them. Wishful thinking that Teaneck's council can do anything about that one!!

People on the Jersey Shore lost EVERYTHING. A 2 year old in New York is dead. There are much bigger problems happening right now. YOu need to read up more.

I have no idea about this museum. Sounds funny to me!! I heard he made a "Teaneck Museum" but really dont know. The Council cannot do anything really in emergencies. THey are just making laws, holding meetings. They have very little power. Maybe Loretta Weinberg because she is in Trenton. I must say I am very impressed with Gov. Christie (did not vote for him). I think he is the only politician taking action but you know he has to go to the worst place like Jersey Shore and today in Little Ferry. Maybe everyone should write to him and Weinberg? Council people are too small time for this problem.

And all i know of the "museum" is that there's a sign in the window of an empty storefront on w. englwood that says The Elie Y Katz Museum of Teaneck. I'd love for someone to shed some light on that. Maybe it is a joke.

I think everyone needs to start emailing senators and congressman from Teaneck asking them to put more pressure on PSEG...it's the only proactive thing I can think of doing other than trying to cimb up and hook up the power myself...I made the point that its almost third world that my children may have to go two weeks without school, a warm home and a sense of security.

Where is the townships management of this town! I say we protest at the court house to express our frustration with the lack of leadership, communication, and services.
Where is PSEG and Teanecks DPW!!! You cant get either one of them on the phone to even report a down tree and wires on my front lawn blocking my front door
$14,000 in property taxes and no dam service for it!

I think having traffic lights out on Cedar Lane, Palisades, Queen Anne days after a storm is inexcusable. I thin having parts of major roads still blocked off, like Queen Anne is rediculous. If everyone knew 3-5 days before the storm that this was much worse than Irene and the October 2011 ice storm, why are we only NOW flying in additional utility trucks and cherry pickers on army cargo jets [I do understand may came in prior to the storm, but the amount estimated to be required was insufficient]?

I think Gov. Christie and his administration has been on top of this since day one. Be it telling Atlantic City and other areas to MANDATORY evacuate [never understood "recommended"], I also understand when there are areas along Staten Island, Little Ferry and the Jersey Shore under water or washed away, they MUST get majority of emergency personnel. However, like I mentioned above, I think it is reasonable to expect traffic lights and some minimal clearance of major roads in 3.5 days.

On a positive note, I think everyone with power, generator, working heat should take it upon themselves to find 2-3 neighbors without power. Offer a hot shower, place to take a warm nap, make them tea or just put on a children's video for their kids. Why we should expect a lot from our elected officials and our outrageous property taxes, I think we must take it upon oursleves to serve our neightbor to the best of our ability.
