They did deem the cause accidental and due to faulty wiring that is in place since the '70's. These wires were flooded by the storm and never replaced.
IMO the township for allowing the wires to remain and JCP&L are at fault here. Residential areas were without power for months here because of the wiring damage. 90% were told it's because wires came in contact with salt water and needed changing. So what makes under a very flammable boardwalk any different?
As you can see the section that caused it wasn't even in pipe.
