Unfortunately, this was a huge lesson learned by those in NJ and in NY... They've been hit with two hurricanes in the last two years....just as much as Florida has. They need a better levee system. most of these attractions NJ has is on the shore and that has to change..... Seaside and AC were reduced to rubble....I've had some glorious times in Seaside...(way before the Jersey Shore show). I'm really saddened about the loss of life and the destruction of some really nice areas in both states. Breezy point has been decimated....I've already donated to the red cross twice....

I just saw a news story that people are lined up in NY for iPads?!? Is that correct?

Regardless, it's insane what's happened. People are seriously losing their minds over all the shit going down. Fights, weapons, looting. WTF.

I was far... FAR underprepared for this. Today is one week without power. No hot water. No heat. Temps are falling into the 30s. A hot shower is a luxury. Gas lines are better, but they were insane. I waited 2 hours, then 1 hour 45, then 45 on 3 diff days. This morning filled up with no line. We have a noreaster coming this week. Basically a huge storm that hovers over the area once it hits land. Sump pump has a battery backup but I don't know how much juice is left. Nobody has generators. NOBODY. And when Home Depot has a shipment coming, people line up and wait literally all day for a chance at one. A lot of people pull together to help, but there are scumbags that are using this as an opportunity to fuck people. There is looting. Noone's house alarms work and they know this. The right to bear arms is crucial now especially. The worst hit was Union Beach, about 30 min south of me. They got hit really bad. Near Katrina type bad, but not quite. Alot of people lost their homes and are still up to their ears in water.

Yea man I can't even complain. A lot of people were devestated by this. All I got was a bent gutter. But it's weird seeing FEMA out here and stuff man, we're not used to this. At night there are no lights at all. Driving down the highway and not being able to visually recognize where you are when it's a familiar area is really eerie.
