By Albert Countryman Jr.

Power was knocked out for 16 hours in a large portion of Gloucester City after a viscous rain and wind storm around 6 p.m. Saturday night ten days ago.

The lights finally came on again around 10 a.m. Sunday morning in an area bounded by the railroad tracks, Monmouth Street, Johnson Boulevard to Klemm Avenue to Route 130, and the Brooklawn Borough border.

Residents had to make do with candles, no heat in many cases, and could not even go to WaWa on Market Street, as it closed after the power outage.

Personally, I was driving to a surprise birthday party at 7 p.m. Saturday when I made a left onto Johnson Boulevard from Nicholson Road. It was very dark, and I double checked to make sure I had turned on my headlights.

Then, as I turned onto Baynes Avenue and approached Market Street, the streetlight was out. Patiently, I waited for the traffic to go by before crossing over by Cold Springs School. It was very eerie, and a large tree had fallen across the road.

The report from PSE&G was that by Sunday evening the power was back on for some 180,000 homes in South Jersey. At that time, some 12,000 customers were still without power.

As for the party, everyone enjoyed the candlelight illuminating a beautiful home full of family and friends.

 

The utterly impractical, never predictable,
Sometimes irascible, quite inexplicable, Irish.

Strange blend of shyness,
pride and conceit,
And stubborn refusal to bow in defeat.

He\’s spoiling and ready to argue and fight,
Yet the smile of a child
fills his soul with delight.
His eyes are the quickest to well up with tears,
Yet his strength is the strongest
to banish your fears.
His hate is as fierce as his devotion is grand,
And there is no middle ground
on which he will stand.
He\’s wild and he\’s gentle,
he\’s good and he\’s bad.
He\’s proud and he\’s humble,
he\’s happy and sad.
He\’s in love with the ocean,
the earth and the skies,
He\’s enamoured with beauty wherever it lies.
He\’s victor and victim, a star and a clod,
But mostly he\’s Irish—
in love with his God.
