DAY 4, THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS
Â
(Weehawken, NJ) It’s Friday, four days since we Jerseyans woke up to the nightmare of Superstorm Sandy and still 1.4 million New Jersey residents and businesses are without electricity. One harrowing scene after the other is broadcast on TV and the Internet and those of us with power are not only living through this, we’re seeing what our neighbors just a few miles away are dealing with, and it’s devastating.Â
There has been so much heartbreak throughout New Jersey, but seeing sections of the Jersey Shore floating in the Atlantic was the saddest. Seaside Heights is gone, just gone. Atlantic City lost sections of its beach and boardwalk and little Asbury Park which has been going through a renaissance took some hard knocks, too. To us Jersey folks, ‘The Shore’ is a living scrapbook of our childhood memories, teenage romances; days away from the urban landscape with friends and time with our kids and their kids who will follow us in our sandy footsteps. Seeing these popular shore places torn to bits has given all us Jerseyans a heavy heart. Continue reading Sally Deering’s SUPERSTORM SANDY

DAY 3 POST SUPERSTORM SANDY: HANG IN THERE JERSEYANS
It’s only been a couple days since Superstorm Sandy played some vicious Halloween tricks on New Jersey and now my fellow Jerseyans are picking up the pieces like empty candy wrappers in a Trick-or-Treat bag. As of Thursday evening, 1,818,200 New Jersey residents are without electricity and that means no computers, TVs, lights and other necessities. Many are without heat or hot water. Take a walk through our towns on the Hudson River waterfront and it feels like the Wicked Witch of the West blew in and destroyed Munchkinland.
