Despite working round the clock, officials say the fix is complicated.
Tedesco said crews are working to get it fixed as "quickly and safely as possible. We're also installing temporary equipment until permanent equipment is fixed at the substation.""We've had people in here that are on oxygen and need to charge up their oxygen. We had a lot of people last night doing that," said Ann Devlin, an administrative assistant at the center.
Perhaps the coolest place to go on the island was the beach itself. Patrons packed the sand looking for relief in the ocean breeze. "We came back here and it was hot but it was manageable. We came here to sit in the ocean and be cool," said Melissa Dobley from Elkins Park. Despite the crowds of people at the beach, businesses were deserted on what would usually be a busy summer weekend.
"Technically, we have an ice cream business, so we're done," said Tejashkumar Patel, the owner of the Wildwood Candy and Ice Cream Company."Couple thousands of dollars because it's a really busy weekend here," said Patel."It's just eerie like we've never seen the boardwalk still, and we've been coming here since we were 2 and 3 years old," said Jennifer Schecter from Plainview, New York."We are like sweaty with no lights, nothing.
