Most of East Brunswick lost power again Wednesday evening as the nor'easter continues to drop snow on the area.

An emergency at a PSE&G substation forced the company to shut it down in order avoid lengthy blackouts, police said.

PSE&G is working on the problem, but has not provided a time frame for the restoration of power. Customers can contact PSE&G at 800-436-7734.
