Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Everything fine here in Edison. Power stayed on all night and thankfully so did the sump pumps in the basement. A few puddles in the basement got up with shop vac and a big tree limb fell by were my camper is usually parked :eek:.

Pulled the boat on Friday so still waiting to find out how it we made out there. Talked to some people who left their boats in Leonardo State Marina and everyone made it through. One boat was listing a bit but that might be because of how it was tied up.

Heard that there is a breach from the Shrewsbury River to the Atlantic on Sandy Hook but not sure if that is true or not.

Hope everything went well for every one. Looks like we got lucky with this storm.

Just took a quick ride around. EVERYTHING is closed. Surprised to see Home Depot parking lot empty.

Trees down and broken limbs everywhere. Spotty power outages in Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport and Hazlet.

Water receded surprisingly quick by KMB/Browns/Wagners. By noon Front St and area parking lots were clear of water. Boats still at the dock seemed to fare well.

2 blow boats broke loose from KYC moorings and are up on Cliffwood Beach.

Overall it could of been alot worse.

"Just took a quick ride around. EVERYTHING is closed. Surprised to see Home Depot parking lot empty."

Gov. said, Get the hell off the roads!" Maybe go to the beach?

Got some wind last night, a few branches down, power off for about 10 minutes. From what I say on FB it looks like there is a bigger problem up north with rivers flash flooding?

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Up here in Morris County we had a lot of rain last night. I might have to stock the pond that appeared in my back yard :p Its actually getting windier now with some pretty good gusts. Hope no trees come down:eek: Still have power. Heard Hopactcong, Dover and Morristown lost power during the night.

All in all seems like we dodged the bullet on this one

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

No power loss in Saddle Brook, but ALOT of flooding from the saddle river..

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

point pleasant boro had power all night few limbs down but all looks ok. family up north west on the big D stockton area being evacuated now!

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Moved my boat from my slip at Brielle Marine Basin to the dock at my house on a lagoon in Point Pleasant west of Canal just off Northern Barnegat Bay.

At high tide this morning water rose above my lower dock (as you can see in photo) about 4 feet higher than normal but fared well. No damage to our house either. I consider myself very fortunate. No power out either - very lucky! Hope it works out well for all!

Hope Brielle Marine Basin fared well - would like to move it back to that slip tomorrow if possible.

Bridgewater is fine. Power and everything else is ok. Making some garlic sesame chicken wings finishing up my last thirty of pabst. Going to work "from home" tomorrow due to all the "flooding and damage" to my neighborhood.

Might hands Sands again later, only place open

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Everything is fine in Toms River, I lost a tree but no damages. Drove to Brick to check boat at Comstocks and couldn't get close. I was called later and told boat was ok. Tried to get into Bayhead to check bay house and everything was closed.

Anyone get anywhere near Bayhead near the Yacht club??

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Heard in leonardo state marina the water was over the bulkhead into the parking lot...which is no suprise on the new moon with this storm...about the breach of the shrewsbury meeting the atlantic,maybe we have something here ,a quicker way of getting down the beach ,lol !!:D

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Oceanport had some down trees and flooding by the river and creeks. My backyard was flooded at high tide in the River by me (10am). Stopped just inches short of flooding my garage and taking out my central air unit. Very lucky! Many houses on the river closer to Monmouth Beach had major flooding. Flooding during the '92 storm was more than 18" higher than this storm.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Were Good the boats good docks @ clarks were under wate but acc to kenny they are exposed again. We were evacuated from ortley and my 1 neighbor who stuck it out said all was well but the bay crept up to bay blvd. Up here we have no power, loads of trees branches and wires down. Hopefully we get juice back soon!

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Power was out here last night from 1130 till 230 this afternoon. Thank fully had a friend lend me a generator to keep the flood waters at bay. Nice to have power up and running THANK YOU JCPL workers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alot of BIG trees down and wires all over so they def still have alot of work cut out for them

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Never lost power in Bayonne. Did have cable go out for about 30 seconds. Had some seepage in my basement that I'm drying out now. Otherwise I fared OK. just took a walk around town and there were some blown down trees but overall nothing major that I could see.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

no issues in Bay Head Shores Estates

one tree down on Riviera Parkway

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Cool Hand said water 3-4' higher than normal at the top of the flood but no other issues. Nothing really happened in surrounding area; one tree down.......some leaves and limbs.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

I just got power in the Herbetsville section in Brick.
A lot of trees and branches down.
Took a ride down to Point Pleasant and you can not go east of route 35 police at every road. still very windy 35-40 mph winds here

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

South Branch and Musky rivers are running super high. High bridge residents evacuated below Lake Solitude Dam on South Branch due to the instability of the dam that is being rehabed. Have never seen the South Branch this high. Twp rescue wrokers rescued this guy from the 513/517/24 intersection here in LV.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Wind is getting REAL weird here.


Dead calm to massive gusts.

Last one hit 53 mph on the weather station.

Atlantic Highlands Pier 1 this morning

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

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.

Andover NJ
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.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

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.

Colonia,NJ

my neighbor just pulled an elederly couple stuck in a car that was flooded because they decided to try driving through a small lake...

looks like we dodged anything truly serious

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

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.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

was anyone down at Viking marina in Laurence Harbor

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

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!!!

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

you guys are killing me went and got my boat out of the Atlantic Highlands and brought it home on Friday AM and it wasnt bad down there well I;ve had no power since midnight! the Delawere river is risen and may be in my door by 7am this sucks time to sell this piece of shit house along the beautiful Delaware river and move to the shore!or if I get me wish the carolina's

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Ron, any truth to the rumor that the Shrewsbury broke through to the ocean?

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Just got back spending most of the day pumping out my rental property in rahway. Rahway is a disaster area. Most roads were closed this morning all flooded. Trees down on roads and houses. St. Georges Ave is still closed.
Never had my little house flood till today, even in Floyd.
Sump pump held up till power went out, but I thought it would be OK when high tide passed at nine this morning. Then the river came down the street and filled the basement to the top... in only a few minutes. What a mess!
To top things off the neighbor thought no one would know about the covered up old oil tank from years ago. Oil slick and stench were everywhere. The Union County haz mat teams were there and I can expect the EPA to stop by tomorrow. The SOB's home has been in foreclosure for over a year (they are still living there tho).
I should have fun getting blood out of that stone.
Firemen said they have no intention on restoring power for a week. Basements have to be all pumped out and cleared first.
I have two people (both family) who went out of way to save my azz with pumps and generators. I am soooo grateful right now

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Lake Lefferts in Matawan has overflowed its dam and collapsed part of Ravine Dr. Dam may fail completely.

Brielle/Pt. Marinas
 

I was down checking my boat at Deep Creek in Brielle..for anyone who has a boat there or Robinsons or in the Glimmer Glass or Garden State..everything looks fine from what I could see, all the boats I saw in the yard or in the water seemed just fine..just thought I would post for anyone who may have a boat there and hasnt been down yet.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Looks like a Welcraft V-20 did not fare too well, too bad.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

This is the first I have heard about that.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Yea, I didn't buy it but thought I'd ask since we live near that area.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Belmar and Spring Lake both lost huge sections of their boardwalks, but the majority of the marinas in the area were fine. Police & fire crews were keeping sightseers to the West side of Rt. 35 in belmar yesterday as many sections of the boardwalk were completely washed-out or damaged.

Highlands was still flooded/closed as of yesterday morning, however, all boats in the Marina on The Bay and Clam Hut lots were fine with no observed or reported damage.

The new bridge over the Shrewsbury was still closed yesterday afternoon, so I didn't get to see how Sea Bright, Long Branch & Monmouth Beach made out, but based on how the river looked, there may be some truth to the claim that the river and the ocean got to meet each other on Rt. 36. :eek:

- Gr8ful

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Power just came on in Plainfield this morning. No power for 28 hours.
My complex flooded as bad as I have ever seen it. (25 years)

No trees threw the roof and no evacuating...all in all lucky.
Union County is a disaster, and a real mess everywhere.

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

I didnt even have to play hooky today. Office is closed in New Providence, no power.

hahah!

Re: Storm Updates - Check in Here
 

Sink hole in Sea Bright on Route 36; far cry from a new inlet!!!
