I've got just 1 thing to say......FUUUUUUUUCK!

 

I feel better now. I have limited power on my phone and my netbook and a I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be able to find a the coffee shop or diner some place that has electricity so I can a recharge electronics.

 

it was quite a show earlier watching the explosions of the transformers over enough New Brunswick and seeing the city go dark.

 

the last time I checked the last lights that were busy people were on the a helipad for the hospital so I guess that's still functioning. there was something disquieting about it. Even though I knew what it was, there was something surreal and slightly menacing about seeing the flashes of light and then darkness move across the New Brunswick skyline. I'm sure Rutgers has all the dorms on lockdown to keep students from trying to go for a walk in the rain, lol.

 

The storm seems to be all but over now. the 2 main roads to get you Brunswick on Route 27 and River Road, apples been flooded out and closed since early this afternoon. seeing as the river supposed to continue rising well into tomorrow evening I can't imagine what that part of town is going to look like. when it gets light tomorrow I might set off with my camera to try to get some pictures of the aftermath of the storm out including the flooding and the damage.

 

They said this is a once in a lifetime storm. I've lived in New Jersey my whole life and I've never seen anything like this. My mother is 70 and she's never seen anything like this. 

 

Shit. I hope they are right about this whole once in a lifetime thing.

My Mom lives in South NJ, and I got nervous for her and all my other NJ friends when she told me the storm was going to make landfall in Atlantic City.

I'm glad to hear you made it through, OK. :)

I hope you're still well.

this was a less than once in a lifetime storm. It is now, given current global trends, a more than a once in a lifetime occurrence. Expect to see it again.
