Only thing that happened here was the power flickered once and the tv rebooted. Lots of leaves on the cars.

What a mess. I'm used to dealing with disasters and I'm not even sure where to start.

That sucks. I just came back from checking the baseball complex for damage. Traffic lights are out all over makes It stupid dangerous. My suggestion to all is stay off the roads if possible.

The whole shore area is gonna be a mess. The barrier islands all looked like they were overwhelmed with water let alone wind damage. Most of Ewing is without power, but I'm at work and it might be the only section of Ewing with power right now.

Can you call my work and tell them that? Oh wait they don't have power, or phones, or sections of roof. Thankful that I only have tonight and then I am off

Well, cleaned up a small fraction of the mess. Enough to assess any damage to the house from the tree landing somewhat on it.
Gutters are banged up a bit. Lost 1 shingle that I have, once it stops raining I'll get that back into place.
Couple of small divots in the shingles, not outright holes.
Got off cheap compared to some. The shore area is *devastated*.

Yes, the shore areas are devastated. Check out the facebook group JerseyShoreHurricaneNews, lots of pics. Towns like seaside will not be the same. If I'm off work again tomorrow I'll cruise to belmar to look

Power is still out but no damage to the house. I am thankful. Hanging at a local friends place who amazingly still has power. Hope everyone else made it through relatively Ok.

This article says train cars were washed onto the turnpike! Yeah, over hyped storm I guess.

I heard about the train cars, Christie said every line has damage and its gonna be a a long time to fix the damage. NYC subways could take 4 days to pump the water out. That's from the time the power is back on.
I need to get my hands on a generator or 2 after this for sure.
