News 12 NJ has reported that from Beach Haven to the southern end of Long Beach Island is under water. Winds at Harvey Cedars are 75 sustained. I'm sure Ship Bottom and Surf City is under water. Long Beach Township and Beach Haven Emergency Management is using high profile vehicles to get those who stayed off of Long Beach Island. They are asking that you park at the Engleside and await evacuation.

This is so sad for all of us. The area all us natives call "Down the Shore" is going away.

The next "sticky" will be asking for your memories of the Jersey Shore.

Good luck to all of you

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.
