Everyone was talking about New York with this storm, everyone ignored New Jersey and the damage there...New Jersey had it twice as bad as NY but nobody gave a fuck.

My god I remember this day so clearly. I was starting 11th grade, our school was closed for about 2 or 3 weeks. We didn't have power for almost 2 weeks, a tree landed on the road near our house (fortunately, nobody got hurt) and when we went back to school half the building still had no power. It was absolutely terrible, I'll never forget it

I live in NJ. Just before the storm hit I got myself into the woods in eastern Burlington County (just west of Tuckerton Ocean County). I was far enough away from water that I wouldn't have to worry about storm surge and far enough away from any trees taller than 10 feet that I wouldn't have to worry about them falling onto me or my car.

I had enough provisions with me in case I got stuck for a few days, but where I was I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it.

I kept listening to local news, weather, and music broadcasts on a portable digital radio that I brought with me waiting to hear when the worst of the storm was just about over my head.

After a number of hours of it getting very wet and somewhat windy I decided to go for walks out in the woods and on some of the local paved roads wearing nothing but a pair of sneakers or nothing at all. I knew that very few people would be out on the roads after dark during a storm like this because this part of the state is usually very quiet between 11PM - 5AM anyway. It also helped that some of the campgrounds in the area were closed down due to the incoming weather.

I was able to go for a number of walks (a few of them lasting as long as 30 minutes straight) during the 36 hour period of time that I basically "sat" in this one specific location in the county. I was able to go driving around during the daytime just as the storm was coming ashore and sitting above my location while the sun was up enough for me to see without needing headlights, but when it was dark I basically sat in one specific area.

Talk about a fun 2 days. Here I was, stationed out in the woods, nobody knowing exactly where I was, nobody was with me, and nobody expecting to see someone else out in these areas under this immediate condition. So I decided that I would have a little fun with it and so I walked around naked from my ankles up in certain locations, and completely naked in other areas.

During the middle of the night, during the middle of the day, in periods of torrential rain and horrendous wind, in periods of tiny sprinkles and almost no wind at all, out in the middle of the deepest densest forest, right out on the road that runs between various areas of development of any kind.

[alexandrarose]

i remember sandy like it was yesterday. i was 9., living in Jersey. i remember the winds, rain, no halloween, my lights flickering (but thank God i didn’t lose power) and school was closed for at least a few days after the storm. I hope to experience another massive storm like this tho. am i crazy?😂

I was really young when it happened.. my house was only like 200 feet of the coast exactly where it hit. Pretty much destroyed my home in Long Island. I'm lucky enough to have parents that paid to repair it and even did some themselves.

My thoughts & prayers go out to all those in the East Coast who were & still are affected by the storm. RIP to those who died. It's sad to see the loss of lives, electricity, homes, transportation, communication, etc. May all of you stay safe.

This storm was no joke I remember this Massachusetts did get hard but not as hard as other states

[sjlbean]
