Re: Storm Thread
Just got power back. Road out the storm at my parent's in Rumson as I knew my condo in Long Branch would be an island for a while. My parents lost a big tree, most of a fence and some bricks from a chimney. Got back to my condo Weds morning, lobby rug a bit nasty but my place fine and running on generator. Had plenty of fun with urban foragers coming by to say hello from time to time. Same was occurring in Rumson, Keansburg, Union Beach and Sea Bright.
Police were generally useless guarding gas stations while people's property was being victimized. Most "foragers" were not detained if they were caught in the act. Do know of one guy who fired a warning shot in Keansburg is on $350,000 bail while the forager was released. JCPL did not exceed my very low expectations. Town of Long branch did a fair job and Rumson was useless. I can only hope that some tough decisions are made regarding rebuilding rather than blindly putting everything back the way it was.
