Going to be huge amounts of damage in NY and NJ.......Flooding mostly from storm surge.....Not fun right now here in northwestern NJ.....Very high wind gusts that are over 50 mph....

Ken Miele.....lives near where the eye of the storm is coming ashore right now......

Ken is fine - just a little soggy .I was to leave for Atlantic City this past Thursday but cancelled all plans for that trip .Good news is the building super stayed at my place last night and its OK - no power - cable or Internet but the building isn't under water ( probably won't happen as its 33 stories ) at least yet - water is still rising but they've sandbagged plenty . Some of the Boardwalk in front of the building is hurt but repairable .

Much worse here in the Christmas City - we have more than 40,000 homes in the area with no power - and we're told it could be 5 to 10 days till we get back online .Hello Mr. Winnebago Journey ..........

the generator ran for 7 days and its one of those jr dragster engines with a pipe ,the neighbors loved it

The wind gusts are ramping up in a very big way at this time, 6:50pm, in Stamford CT. I'm amazed we still have power, but I'm sure it won't be long until we are in the dark.
Stay tuned.

The eye is currently passing over us as we speak in Vineland / Millville, NJ. Lights flickered a few times but, right now it's very eerie as the rain has calmed down and the wind is at a standstill. Supposed to pick back up in the next hour though as the back band is going to hit us....supposed to stop raining around 7am on Wednesday.

AC got hit really hard, most of the town is under water along with Rio Grande, Wildwood, Etc. just hope that Ken didn't get it that bad as he's about 20 minutes from where I live. My Brother works down in Pomona (About 10 minutes from AC) and was told that his job wouldn't open till at least Wednesday.
