Daily News | Power outages persist in the Wildwoods, with full restoration not expected until Saturday night
After a sultry, surreal night that 10s of thousands of visitors and residents spent in darkness and without air-conditioning on a peak summer weekend, over a third of the utility customers in Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest still were without power late Saturday afternoon.including the island’s copious supply of motels and multi-dwelling units — remained unplugged, according to Atlantic City Electric.
In the darkness, Jimmy DiIulio, 17, was walking along the boardwalk with friends, hoping it would feel like a “glow-in-the-dark party.” Instead, he said, the bright emergency lights and shuttered businesses all felt scrar. By the hundreds of thousands, for generations the Wildwoods have drawn Philadelphia-area residents — and French Canadians — attracted by that boardwalk, an unabashed gaudiness and rentals less pricey than those of its seaside neighbors, such as Avalon and Cape May.
