Its going to be better than if those people had JCP&L :facepalm:

Thankfully nothing as dramatic as train cars washed up in my front yard, however we lost power and just got it back today. sitting on the porch last night, having some shots with all the neighbors we got treated to a terrific and terrifying blast of 3-4 transformers all exploding within 5 minutes. mother of god :D

Sea Bright... rip

Not sure how monmouth beach fared, but im still without power

I saw a pic. Donovans is literally gone

I'm thinking my inlaws place on LBI has to have damage but the Black Whale restaurant down the road is unscathed. Who knows? Also concerned about my dad's place near Gilford park!

so everyone here is ok and accounted for then? hopefully no one here suffered any huge damages or losses!

i forgot this thread was hear as i posted in the pic one i just got back from toms river woth my family we went to check on ours and our cousins houses and its sick how bad it is down there were were unable to get close to our properties but from what we were told and shown by neighbors all is lost houses boats jetskis everything inside the house and shed a neighbor said that at low tide he had 5 feet in his house so were expecting the same i was only able to get within 5-6 blocks of my house until the water was to deep by my cousins his neighbor took pics befor they left last nightand it was to the countertops and then another told us the eater was to the top of the street signs my other cousins house we were told was stil under 3+ feet at 5pm but the part that hurts is that we just fonished remodeling the whole house after fully gutting it down to the floor beams about a month ago

We went to check on our house and our cousins houses and it's sick how bad it is down there. We were unable to get close to our properties but from what we were told and shown by neighbors, all is lost. Houses, boats, jetskis, and everything inside the house and shed. A neighbor said he had 5 feet of water in his house at low tide, so we are expecting the same.

I was only able to get within 5-6 blocks of my house until the water was too deep to continue. My cousin has a neighbor that took pics before they left last night- they had water up to their countertops. Another person told us the water was up to the top of the street signs. My cousin's place is still under 3+ feet of water at 5pm, and what hurts the most is that we just finished remodeling the whole house. We took it all the way down to the floor beams less than a month ago.

Added stuff for you. :wink:

Checked on the house this morning. Everything survived. The bay got to about a block from the house. Still no power so I am staying at moms for the time being

Thanks, I was actually able to read the revised version!

thanks bill grammar was never my best subject

Is anyone else experiencing really bad cell service? First time I've been able to connect through my phone since the storm started... Seems like all AT&T users are experiencing issues

Still no power here. Running on generator, but finding gasoline is kinda like a Mad Max experience. A lot of stations have no power, those that do are either out of gas or mobbed. Had to drive about 20 miles to fill two 5 gallon cans.

Things get bad enough I'll be siphoning the gas out of the Camaro.

Tomorrow my goal is to buy a generator. I'm heading north towards Albany and trying my luck along the way.

Up here in norther Bergen Co, Rockland Electric said 10 days to restore power to the majority and weeks to be back to what it was prior.

Someone get me some ice and come play cards with me, going crazy sitting in the dark alone with two dogs :lol:

already goin crazy its nuts we were told earliest noveber 5th

they do that on purpose...if they say it will be done in lets say 5 days and it takes them longer you get furious...if they say the same thing and get it done in 2 then they are heroes. trust me, they say abnormally long times so nobody gets that way.

btw heres a pic of tiki bar..or whats left of it.. in point pleasant beach. crazy i was just there the 27th doing a 5k run

thats part of my point though..they'll tell you 10 days or something outrageous and it realistically could be 6.5. they told people last storm 3 days, and it ended up being 6.5 so they were upset customers. if they hadnt said 3 days last year and said 10 instead and had it fixed in 6.5 people wouldnt be as pissed off.

Got an update from my family and next door neighbor (Sayreville police officer) this afternoon. As far as my place is concerned, we had 2 trees take out the fence, the roof of the shed is gone, and the plastic patio table that we placed on the side of the house ended up 15ft up my neighbor's tree, Thankfully the Camaro made it out with out any real damage. The bay got as close as the house behind mine's front yard so I really lucked out. According to my neighbor, he was teamed up with the state police and National Guard all night rescuing family's from houses in Old Bridge, Sayreville, Keyport, and South River that were trapped. Also a 12 story building in Keyport collapsed during the middle of the night last night. Thats really all I know so far that I haven't seem anyone else post in here already...

waiting for a ton of flood/salvage vehicles to hit the market

i can see that happening also
