Playing scrabble by candle light......a remember when moment! Be safe every one Jay McMullin

Herbertsville in the dark now. I miss my tv!

Question, where's the governor now with his bashing of our public safety workers risking their lives in the storm?

Live in Trenton, the winds are strong, my house is shaking, not too much rain. I have a backup battery on my computer, still have power but many brownouts. Hope everyone is safe.

No power in green brook

Down in Ocean Co. with no power. Have elderly mother here with me. Has Woodbridge flooded? She lives in a flood zone.

How is Ocean City NJ doing now? Saw the pics from earlier and it breaks my heart!!

Very strong winds here in Bridgewater. Power has flickered a few times but is still on for now...

No power here in freehold township for about an hour and a half. We have 2 down trees in my yard, the neighbor one house over texted and there tree is down and my other neighbor 8 houses away on my street has 3 down trees in their yard. These winds are so strong! Be safe everyone.

Wind and rain is picking up in Somers Point

My family has lived in Ocean City since the turn of the last century... The Darbys' are even prominent in the Ocean City Historical Museum... This is the first time any of the family has evacuated the island as far as I know... My warmest (driest) thoughts to all of you who are staying on... I have spent the whole day glued to the live webfeeds and am concerned at the lack of information in the last couple hours... Hang in there! Our thoughts and prayers are with you on the island of our hearts!

It was a very unusual storm. Nor'easter surrounding a extra-tropical cyclone. center of circulation collapased then that big cell started extending back out to sea from cape may, NJ. Winds died in Ocean City Nj 20 miles north of Cape May and there was still 41 mph wind in AC. So lets just agree the landfall was Ocean City but it wasn't really a landfall becasue there was no back edge of the wall. THere are now outer bands crossing Ocean City NJ and there is a strong wind from the South and South West at times so we know the storm center has passed. Water levels holding steady at 9.5ft to 11 ft above Mean Low Water depending on what side of the bay you are on... Water levels should start dropping within the hour. Let's hope. Not looking forward to seeing my house at 16th and Asbury. But curious.

Strong winds and rain but we have power in bridgewater

Any info on Merion park???

Merion park in OCNj

Any information on Mtddletown.

In Seaville today a huge national guard truck hit two poles and flipped on route 50.Do not know if anyone got hurt. Hope everyone is OK.

Middletown, many areas lost power earlier. My street lost it around 8:30 pm, came back for ten minutes then gone. Route 36 to the bay were told to evacuate.

In Barnegat, Meadowedge Park is entirely under water. Trees are down and its dark out there. I will try and post some pictures at daybreak.As for me I will stay awake all night since there is no power and I use a machine to help me breath at night. Kudos to all of the entire Barnegat PD who have been guarding the closed off evacuated areas around the clock. Kudos also to our brave fireman, first aid squad volunteers, Department of Public Works, Water and Sewer, Quality Medical Transport, a huge Thank You to Our Entire Township Committee, Administrator Dave Breeden and all who are working diligently for our safety.

Prayers out to those dealing with the wind , and storm surge dangers ,

crazy video shot of a building in NY having the wall facing the street being vaporized

No power in Hazlet since mid afternoon. Winds are very strong. Trees down. Hope power comes on soon. Be safe, everyone.

Does anyone have any pictures or info on Atlantic City, NJ. Have a place in Lower Chelsea which is on high ground but I'm sure it still flooded. Have faith in the LORD, he will see us through this. All be safe and take care..

I live on a dead end road in Cinnaminson. My house is SURROUNDED by the Pennsauken Creek. I've been waiting, but as of 10:46 pm.... no flooding has occured. I'm trying to stay awake to make sure it doesn't get too crazy, but i know, soon as i nod off; there's gonna be fish swimming at my window..HAHAHAHA.. I laugh because I grew up here with constant flooding so I'm pretty used to it. Never ACTUALLY got up to the windows, but then again we've never been hit by a storm like this !! :0

I used to live on Waterview Blvd. In Merion Park and saw some photos taken there earlier today. The water was higher on that street than I ever saw it when I lived there. I left OC in 1997. Porches on the bay were completely underwater and in one photo a guy was jet skiiing on the street! I have fond memories of canoeing down the streets during floods gone by but I never saw anyone jet skiing before.

I would guess from the photos that the first floors of many homes in Merion Park are going to be inundated, unfortunately. Hope I'm wrong.

Everything seems to be OK in the Blackwood area of Gloucester Twp. Windy but still have power. Hang in there everybody!

Any information on manasquan, nj? Much appreciated.

In Trenton the wind is growling and lightning mixed with transformers bursting in to flames :no power/Not much rain however lots of downed trees. I think we have gotten the easy and those who are now flooded our prayers go out to. JH

It will take work, but it will get done. Two years from now, we'll be back to who we are. Landmarks lost will live on in the collective memories of those of us who grew up here - and personal losses will remain with us, also. What it means to be from the Jersey Shore will never change. We don't quit. We don't surrender. We grab life by it's face and kick it's ass. We're not finished, not by a long-shot.

I am wondering what neighborhoods, if any, have power in Bloomfield, especially the north end of town. Anyone have information on that?

When did the tennis court lights in palaski park become a priority?

Have friends that live on Arts Lane in Loveladies, NJ. Anyone know what happened in that area?

Just another "bump" to remove the infamous "coach" spammer.

and ANOTHER BUMP...someone please post a comment - I don't want people thinking "I" am a spammer, too. I find this "Coach" jackass offensive.
