I'm back online finally although it sounds worse than it was for me. I live out in the woods with less than 50 residents within a 1/2 mile radius of my house(50 is a safe est., might be 25), so we weren't high priority to get back into the swing of things. Four trees down on our property that did a combined $0 worth of damage. Boredom reigned supreme the last 5 days but we were very lucky.

Still Recovering
We've been looking at the satellite images posted on NOAA and also saw a helicopter flyover on Channel 12 News, but they were from too far away to tell much more than just that the house was still standing (which, obviously, is good news in itself). A neighbor sent us pictures yesterday from someone who was actually on the island and cruising our block. A little more good news - roof appears intact and no apparent broken windows, but there are no visible high-water marks on the outside of the house, so we have no idea yet how bad the inside is. Might have minnows in the fireplace. Our garbage can holder, which we put away from the street and next to the house for safety, is nowhere to be seen. Could be in the back yard, a neighbor's yard or in the middle of Little Egg Harbor. Our washing machine, which was outside, is obviously toast. Other than that, we have to wait to get inside, which won't be until Wednesday at the earliest and then under military/police accompaniment for an hour only. The island has 70% of the electricity restored, but still no water, gas, sewer, cable, Internet. It's depressing to think how much this is all going to cost to fix up, but suffice it to say that it's likely to put quite a crimp in an already thin Old Judge collecting budget. Still, I'm still here to collect.
Johnny - you have been a beacon through this whole thing. Great upbeat attitude. And Barry - didn't realize you had such stong ties to the state across the Hudson. You are at least an honorary Jersey Boy!

Let me share a story of what's going on in NY right now. My wife went out at 7:00 this morning looking for gas. She missed the whole past week of work and needs to get in tomorrow.
She found a station with gas about a mile from the house, but of course had to get on the end of a long line. She has now been on the line for two hours, and has only travelled about five blocks. Based on how far the station is, she will be on that line for at least three, and quite possibly four hours- just to fill up her gas tank. Can you imagine that?

We have an odd number and today is an even number date, but in NY that rule isn't in effect (I hope).
I just walked down Court Street to check out what is going on, and to help her out while she made a quick pit stop. She is now on the line for nearly 3 hours and I think she has another hour to go. And there are at least 100 cars behind her. For those people I suspect they will be on the line for most of the day. Last edited by barrysloate; 11-04-2012 at 09:40 AM.
