This storm/hurricane was so much worse than anyone had expected. It began around 8pm on Monday, 10/29. Unfortunately, I've been hiding out at my inlaws on the other side of New Jersey cause we won't be getting electricity until November 9th.

Personally, the morning after, my home and the surrounding houses were filled with branches. My neighborhood is filled with HUGE oak trees that TOWERED over all our houses so we were all expecting the worst. God must have been looking over my street. Being the corner lot in my neighborhood, I walked over the other way and it was CATASTROPHIC! The huge oak trees were EVERYWHERE smashing through peoples cars and homes. Powerlines were everywhere and also LIVE! It's an eerie site to drive around cause it looks like a ghost town during the day and darkness at night. Thank God none of my family were hurt or harmed. Unfortunately, most of New Jersey is still all messed up. No food in the supermarkets, no gas anywhere, and MILLIONS still without power. I live in North Jersey, 20 minutes from New York City and it's really scary. Central and South Jersey (Towards Philly) doesn't look so bad. South Jersey (Towards the shore points) is just DESTROYED. Sharks are swimming in the streets of Atlantic City.

Here are some photos of the aftermath:
