AltecBest: where can one learn what was the actual storm track through New Jersey? Most web reports show coastal damage.

I sure hope we don't get any of your crazy blizzards, we couldn't cope.

We did OK here in Northwest CT relative to others, just another fine mess.
Lots of unexpected cleanup and repairs over the last several years.
They are calling this the new normal? Where is a stable place to live?

LMAO !

FWIW all states have their own issues.. This was a freak storm we don't see hurricanes here very often so.. I think we have the best of everything right here in New Jersey.. We have beaches,mountains,Big Cities and rural farm land all within an hours drive in any direction.

Some truly beautiful country(some pretty decent folks too) in NJ, and a healthy Jersey Shore is a place everybody should visit at least once in their life.

I have a good friend(not Snookie, LOL) that lives in Lakewood, i often kid her that my only complaints are it's too damn hot in the summer, and you guys blew up the Hindenburg.

I have a suspicion if you discount Detroit, the stats look quite different. There are very nice parts in Michigan. I recall visiting friends in Ann Arbor though...had to put my car in the garage. You do NOT want to park a car on the streets bearing Ohio plates during the OSU-Michigan game.

Greg what your most likely seeing are the national broadcasts..You have to look locally like the Philadelphia TV stations try,

WPVI Philadelphia News, Weather & Traffic | Philly Area News for the Delaware and Lehigh Valleys | 6abc.com

Viewer Images from Sandy | NBC 10 Philadelphia

As for storm track it came on shore around Atlantic City and headed WNW. Google is your friend here...

I took some photos around me and this was a frequent scene on every street we were on.Also took a photo of the front page of a local newspaper of Bull Run road, which is only about a mile and a half from where I live.. The scenes a long the shore are of damage from storm surge (Fast Rising Water) from the ocean.Where I am we received mostly wind damage.
