Radio stations off the air due to the snow storm

I'm in a hotel in Atlantic City for this snowstorm.

Wibbage 94.3, 95.1 WAYV, and 99.3 Kiss FM are all off the air right now. 50 mph winds on the boardwalk, and I can't even see the casino across the street.

92,000+ people are without power in the market.

I think all of the Cape May County stations are/were off (1230, 93.1, 94.3, 98.3, 98.7, 100.7, 102.3, 102.7, WMGM-TV 40). 103.7, 1400, and 1490 were off - they're all back. WAYV was on (off now); WTTH is dead air. 99.3 is back on, as are WFPG and WPUR.
 
100.7's back on, the rest are off

WTTH is back on, 105.5 is dead air, no IBUZ on SoJo 104.9. The farthest stations I can get are 92.3 NOW and 92Q on the 43rd floor of a hotel. 95.1 WZZO is also coming in nicely.

Why's Wibbage off the air? Power outage at the transmitter site?
Stay safe!

I just drove from AC to Bordentown and it took me over 3 hours, it normally takes an hour and a half.
 
98.7 WCZT is still off the air.

98.7 from DC and/or NYC can be heard in the area.

Currently off the air: 98.3 WTKU and 100.7 WZXL.

WTKU is back on ... really coming in strong at my house ;)

Power at WZXL and WMGM-TV still off as of 9:45 PM.

Atlantic City Electric is doing the best they can, they were saying
there was 3 inches of ice on the wires in Wildwood. Nasty stuff.
 
Congrats to the crews who worked through this storm up and down the coast...
Anyone on air should give them big shout outs for their efforts.

Yeah well the power company cycling on and off. did some damage to the transmitter. we are operating on our backup.
waiting for the parts to arrive.
I just love driving over 100 miles one way in a blizzard to a site. Im just thankful it was raining down south
or it would have been worse. However the trip Home was NO FUN...
I keep praying that I can eventually get a Hovercraft to make it easy access for some of sites I maintain. ,But Doubt DMV would make it street legal.
During the summer months I can Fly dow to Ocean City airport. its only 1 mile from the WIBG studios..
BTW I added more Pitures to Photobucket for some stations including WIBG..
Enjoy
