I am outside of this evac zone but to say that this sucks is a total understatement:

Mandatory Evac N of Rt 36 by Wed 3p

This is a message from Middletown Office of Emergency Management. The National Weather Service reports that a Nor’easter is expected to impact our area on Wednesday, November 7^th. Due to compromised flood control features such as dunes, Middletown Township has issued a mandatory evacuation order from Keansburg to Atlantic Highlands from Route 36 to the bay. We urge that you leave by 3:00 pm on Wednesday at the latest. High winds will likely cause a problem with flying debris and downed wires; as a result power loss could occur again township wide.

We are looking for volunteers...to help those that have been impacted by Hurricane Sandy. We aren't looking for money or donations, right now what we want is your time. If you are able to volunteer please shoot an email to us help@JetNation.com.

But one immediate need is for Friday. We are looking to help a family that needs to gut their house in Central NJ.

I will be there, so you will get to spend quality time with me.

Please email if you can volunteer some time! Thank You!

Tyson Rauch will be there as well. Who else wants to demo a house for an elderly homeowner? It is a great cause and you will hear some awesome NY Jets talk.

If I could, I would. Big ups to you and Tyson!

I haven't looked outside in awhile but when I drove home from work hours ago, it was snowing hard. Crazy.

Here is an excellent video on the owner of Jake-a-Bob's and Union Beach. This was a newly renovated restaurant where you could sit on a deck over the water. Or sit along the water in the outdoor bar. It was a really cool place...that is now gone.

Feel bad for y'all.. we have had these for years.. No snow though as a follow up.. what a crap time for a hurricane, just before winter.

If it is any consolation, my cousin runs a huge insurance adjusting/storm clean up business, and they left Orlando five or six days ago
with the whole crew headed your way.. I hope the government lets people in to help.

There are so many people here from other states it is unbelievable. The electric companies brought in crews from so many states. The National Guard is here. But there are also police from other states. Mississippi State Troopers are keeping watch over the damaged area in my town. Crazy to see but awesome at the same time.

I just received a text message back from Faba. He and his family are doing fine, but are still without power and heat heading into Day 11.

I went to work one night at the hospital I was currently employed at the time, and they called me an hour ahead of time and asked me
to bring in a couple gallons of water for myself, toothbrush, extra clothes.. They were getting up a team to go in after Andrew..
We watched it roll over Homestead and S. Miami, and got on a bus and the guard housed us for a week (then we took a break and went back) there.. It was insane .. Had a blast.

The south has been hammered with these things for so long, we know what you need..

Chainsaws, Water (to flush with, and drinking water) Generators and canned food or MRIs..head mounted Streamlights are nice too.. especially the waterproof ones.

And a lot of clean up willingness.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but the harassment, badgering, verbal assault and denial of out-of-state, non-union utility workers seems to be doing wonders for the entire NY/NJ area still affected by power loss.

That story seems to have faded or been debunked. But the reality is far worse on Long Island. Out of state and Canadian crews have shown up to help and then been left hanging because of the complete lack of coordination by LIPA. And a lack of something very low tech-poles.

I think Cuomo is done with LIPA, and maybe Con Ed too. In many cases it is just criminal that there is still no power.

Lots of people seemed to lose power in NJ as well, most came back today though not all of them. Some are still without power...totally blows.

We were lucky though and didn't lose power this time.
