Live in Wayne never lost power. Tons of tree limbs in the yard and I'm sure the valley is flooded from the rivers but the hills area is pretty clear of flooding. Did see a few power poles down and pse&g working on em on alps road.

Lost power around 8:30am and just got it back now (5:30pm) not bad all things considered but still, God bless the JCP&L dudes! All the rivers and streams up here are over their banks by no small margin and trees of all sizes are down everywhere. Just outside Hackettstown where I work a dam let go along the Musconetcong and roads are closed due to flooding...lots of trees down also closing roads and It will still be gusting pretty bad for a few more hours...what a Cluster F. hope the majority of the damage is over and not too many peeps got hurt/killed.
Good luck to all, be safe and don't take any chances.

Seems like she's backing up here. I have more stuff falling from the trees than during the worst of the storm!

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

I think suburbs may have fared worse than the shore - especially those near major rivers. I'm in Essex County and some very large trees fell all over the place - the waterlogged ground brought them down. Then when I thought it was over, the wind gusts kicked in late this afternoon dropping more trees. It was a scary, nasty night & day. Still getting the gusts here. More wind after the rain than at the height of the storm.

Watching the news people off and on all night and the way they were talking & relentlessly hyping . . . some of them should be in jail.

Swimming River Road, between Middletown & Tinton Falls is now good for swimming, resivoir overflowing big time. Also the short portion of NavesinkRiver Rd., between Hwy 35 & Nutswamp Rd, was flooded due to Poricy Pond overflow. I saw someplace that the road is closed again. Also, Hubbard Rd. overflow from Shadow Lake caused road to cave in.

River Plaza Marina floating docks are gone. Not sure how Red Bank Marina made out. Power on the bayshorre side of Middletown gradually being restored. I was told crossing hwy 36 is a lot of fun with most traffic signals out.

Water on first floor (house on slab). Wet carpets and soggy couple boxes in the garage. Not complaining at all with stories I've been hearing. Sounds like most people dodged this bullet.

Mothers house in Bridgewater has been without power since 4am and she got the same answer a lot of people without power have been getting. Should be back on by 9/4/11. Unreal!!!
