JL, Wow, I can imagine the feeling you must have had seeing such devastation. And knowing your BIL having to search for a body.  How chilling. Boy, what a reminder for all of us to be thankful for what we DO have. So much sadness/despair. TIS

Boy, what a reminder for all of us to be thankful for what we DO have. So much sadness/despair. TIS My brother-in-law is truly a special person. On 9/11, he was one of the Officers that rescued the Port Authority Cops trapped in the rubble. He is even loosely portrayed in Oliver Stone's "9/11" movie. When he found out his friend was missing and his house was still underwater, he went in to find him.

Im glad to hear everyone is safe. I just got home from Margate Nj at the shore where my home is in shambels. My first floor was totally demolished! Me and my wife went through most of our savings to buy this house for our summer home! We do have flood insurance so in time we should be ok! Its a terrrible sight there with people that are homeless as this was their primary home! Its like a ghost town! Its terrrible to see what is going on near new york and north Jersey. I pray for you to overcome this nightmare and get the strength to move on! I am really speechless! Hang in and have faith that everything will eventually work out! god bless!!! Southphilly, I am SO sorry about your house. How horrible for you and your family. I can't imagine what you are going thru. You're right. What a nightmare. My prayers to you and your family. TIS

still no power here in central jersey, sitting at dunkin donuts. wind was insane here, lost some siding, gutters, and some screens torn off, but pretty minor compared to others. all the nice mulch i put down this summer in gone, as well as a few of the landscaping trees in our yard that still had any leaves on them. tons of huge trees in the backyard backing up to the woods fell, cut them up with the chainsaw and hauled that shit away, extremely taxing work. i'm fucking freezing all the time, although having even a few candles lit in an enclosed room really raises the temperature. next stop is the store to get a nice bottle of jameson!
It's either blue cheese with wings or go fuck yer mudda!

Still no power. Kids still no school thru Wednesday now. I don't reckon power is coming back soon. But I hope so.
Five Felonies. If I remember correctly ur about 15 mins or so from me. My husband is working union beach today. If u need anything don't think twice to say so. I'll get it to you. Fuel or whatever. Let me know. I'll check back here later. We're due for another big storm I'm afraid coming in Wednesday-Thursday.
Edit: did I just say reckon? Dear god what's happening to me? LOL You did. Now y'all mosey on down to the Longbranch saloon and have yourself a drink.  Nice that you have a sense of humor now.  TIS

I'm back in business as of half an hour ago!  Now I gotta go thru the freezer and toss things that won't make it... It's almost surreal after 5 days, but I'm getting used to it  Hang in there, everyone, and thanks for the words of encouragement this week!
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Wow, what a mess. Yet if it's not as bad as the others, I guess that's one consoling thing right?  Did your SIL's house have a lot of water damage or any structural damage? Btw is that area an area in which you're advised to buy flood insurance? Like in CA you are not forced to BUT encouraged to buy earthquake insurance (only it cost's an arm and a leg with a huge deductible.) TIS

Btw is that area an area in which you're advised to buy flood insurance? Like in CA you are not forced to BUT encouraged to buy earthquake insurance (only it cost's an arm and a leg with a huge deductible.) The basement is completely shot. The water was about 5 feet high. Everything down there had to be thrown out, then the walls will have to be ripped down and replaced. The rest of the house isn't too bad inside, but if the mold spreads to upstairs, those walls will have to come down too. I don't think many had flood insurance on my SIL's street/area because it wasn't that close to the water (1/4 mile maybe), and she said it's never flooded before.
