Thanks so much for posting! I am doing a school project on it and it is really helping.
Nov. 12, 2012 — I live in Monmouth County, NJ and the Staging Area for FEMA and the out of state utility trucks/tree cutters has been at Monmouth Park Race Track in Long Branch, NJ. Or is it Oceanport, NJ? This are is also doubling as a shelter for displaced families and supply for those in area without power/access to water/food. I have no idea how the rest of NJ is faring, since the entire state was hit so badly, especially south of Point Pleasant, but the work being done in this area (a huge cleanup/removal effort) has been OUTSTANDING and HIGHLY ORGANIZED. Line crews were out after dark working to restore power under high flood lamps and the cleanup effort is phenomenal. I wished I could go up to each and every person who left home to help us here on the NJ Coast and say “thank you.”
Nov. 12th — I’d like to add, these brave strong men worked thru our 2nd NorEaster last Wednesday (a wind/snow storm with 5″ of snow no one forecast) and the US Forest Service had men working entire length of Rumson Road from Little Silver into Rumson, as so many large trees were felled by the superstorm.
It is wonderful that so much effort has been extended this area as it took us 6 months just to clean up the mess the Dec. 1992 NorEaster with 90+ mph windes left us in that storm, a microcosim of our recent superstorm.
great post and valid points
