NJ and NY Boardites #Sandy

[Gen]

a lot of busted gas lines by the shore (and most likely elsewhere in NJ) so be careful

[WitchyOoman]

Yep. That's what caused the fires down the shore that burned whole blocks of homes. Just like in Queens, NYC.

Thanks Kia - I'm here - we're ok - slight damage to the house but we're ok. NOTHING compared to what others have been going thru.

My coworker's mother, lost her house in Breezy Point Queens.

I can't stand Bloomberg. He's so far removed from the everyday man - I just don't think he gets it. Cuomo is also a Mr Money bags but he's less annoying, less condescending and more informative. God alone will help this town should we ever exeprience another or more serious event. We are woefully unprepared - both in governments and personal responsibility.

Yuri rope in

[WitchyOoman]

Glad you're OK, Yuri!

Yuri? Just what else do you say Bloomberg could have done in Breezy Point that didn't get done? A lot of the fire fighters LIVED there... and they felt Bloomberg made the right call. So why are you blaming Bloomberg for that? He made the right executive decision: save human lives who needed immediate rescue OR fight the fire - there was NOT enough manpower to do BOTH. I don't understand why you bash your mayor for that decision? (Plenty of other things to bash him for... don't get me wrong. I'm no fan of his.)

ahh Mayor Bloomberg

It’s not the news anyone wants to hear, but a coastal storm may affect New Jersey during the middle of next week.
Forecast models show the potential for a nor’easter to develop and bring more wind, rain and even some inland snow Tuesday night and Wednesday. Let’s be clear though, if the storm does develop it will have nowhere near the impacts of Hurricane Sandy, but could hamper recovery efforts and cause some further beach erosion along the coast.
“If it does form, it’s going to be more of a nuisance than anything,” said Alex Sosnowski, a meteorologist at Accuweather. “If it ends up being near the coast you could have some minor tide considerations, some extra beach erosion. It’ll make things more miserable for cleanup crews. There’s also a chance for it to really strengthen, there could be snow considerations inland.”
Sosnowski stressed that the storm is still a long way off, and may not develop at all, but New Jersey residents should keep an eye on it in the coming days. Any snow the storm produces would likely be confined to central and northern parts of the state.
One thing that’s nearly guaranteed to affect the Garden State is the cold. Conditions should clear as we head into the weekend allowing for sunshine to re-emerge, but should also produce more cooling at night, sending temperatures into the lower 40s and upper 30s.
New Jerseyans without power or heat should make sure they have enough warm clothing and blankets and should check on the elderly or infirmed frequently.

Good. There are areas that have no estimated date of getting electricity. The shore towns in particular. People are staying because they dont want their homes looted. Those areas that are starting to get electricity and have generators are loaning them to people.

My town is at 44% of people WITH electricity. Our home is a charging station and is the preteen girls sleepover central. I also offer laundry facilities to help out.
