[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 561745, member: 1024"] We lost power during the Noreaster and didn't get it back until Friday night. Most of us down here in Central and South Jersey have power back now, some were still getting it back last night. What's really crazy is that people have to register with the town to go on a bus over the bridge to the barrier island, just so they can spend 2 hours cleaning up. TWO hours??? That's nothing! It's just not enough time. And while they are doing this, National Guard is standing over them. Clean up crews are desperately needed. Other things that I'm seeing are areas where there might have been an old gas station or an old building that was knocked down have now become staging areas for all the trash. Dump trucks are pouring into these empty lots and just dumping, for now. We volunteered at a church at the shore the other day. We served food and organized donations. These people are exhausted and cold and were coming in to get supplies in pajamas, because that's all they had to wear. [/QUOTE]
