The Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy In NJ

The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in NJ, what a disaster for New Jersey and our neighboring States. I really can't say much about this storm and the situation it left us with, but I know that together we can get through this. I am a resident of Hudson County along the Hudson River and I can certainly tell you I have never seen anything like this before. Even though large swaths of folks in my area are still without power, gasoline and utilities our devastation doesn't even compare to those folks in the coastal regions of NJ and other states. I have found most of the local information regarding the storm to be New York centric. In creating this post it is difficult to find any information (especially in a video format) specific to businesses and services along the NJ Hudson river waterfront and locally by town in NJ. I came across the following video clip which I found to be interesting by the way it was filmed ( on a bicycle in NYC during Sandy).

Prepare – Hurricane Sandy Approaches NJ

As you should very well know by now, Hurricane Sandy is approaching New Jersey sometime early next week. Sandy is currently ( as of this post) expected to approach NJ as a category 1 hurricane with winds of about 70 MPH. This storm is being also called Fankenstorm because it is scheduled top arrive around Halloween. It is also referred to as the Perfect Storm because it is predicted to arrive during a full moon and strengthen as a result of the combination of two weather patterns similar to the storm featured in the movie called "The Perfect Storm".
