Re: [Chrysler300] Sandy - Report from the shore

["Rick Ehrmann" <tc440@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Very glad to hear that you and Anne are well and got through with little property damage. My home town, Toms River, is pretty beaten up. My eighty year old aunt was rescued by my cousin and a close friend was able to move temporarily from Neptune inland to Jackson. Seaside Heights, where my friends and I spent countless hours every summer of our youth, lies in ruins.

  Hi Group:

  Finally got to my office where I have electricity, phone and 
  internet, so I can report on the situation at least in my part of the shore. 

  We were very fortunate, in that the only damage to the house was the 
  loss of two panes of glass, literally sucked out of our attic window by a 
  wind gust. We lost three major trees, each over 60 feet tall but, happily, 
  they all fell the right way and didn't hit the house, the garage or the cars 
  parked in the driveway. We had no water in the house at all but (Required 
  300 content) we had 3" to 4" of water in the garage which only wet the 
  hubcaps of the G and the Silver K. This storm represents the first time in 35 
  years that we have had any flood water on the property at all, so you can 
  figure how high this surge must have been. We still have no power, phones 
  or internet and they are saying that the power outage could continue for 
  anywhere between an additional 5 and 12 days. We do have the use of our son's 
  generator which we run periodically, but not full time. It supplies power 
  for the fridge, the freezer and a couple of other things, but not the 
  furnace, so we are learning to live in a colder climate. (Where is global 
  warming when you need it?) 

  The area is absolutely devastated. The entire town of Sea Bright was 
  destroyed, as were several others along the shore. A new inlet was cut 
  between the ocean and Barnegat Bay in Mantoloking, and the island between 
  Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights is inaccessible to anyone, because of the 
  damage and the possibility of fires from broken gas mains.

  All in all, we consider ourselves to be very fortunate, and we hope 
  that none of you experienced any major losses in this storm.

  Regards,

  Pete & Anne Fitch
