My Island has 14 deaths so far from the hurricane. Thankfully my family and I are fine, just lost power for 25 hours. Harrier was out for 2 days! But the coast was devastated! My emg was cancelled and also my pain doctor, both of which are not able to reschedule me yet. Thank goodness I have back up supplies of pain meds... My pain doc is on the coat near the Verrazano Bridge. I don't know if they are even still there. My cousin has, or had, a beach house in Ortley Beach, NJ, right next to Seaside Heights. The entire coastal region was devastated, houses were demolished, pushed from foundations or have other heavy damage. And that's what I could see from googling the area. There are no roads into the area that are cleared. It is hard for my brain to comprehend the damage and loss. Yes, they can rebuild, but it will never be the same. That was my vacation spot for over 40 years! And it changed little over time. So this is a kick in the gut... All the boardwalk rides fell into the ocean, and some washed up miles away! It seems frivolous to worry about this, in light of the 37 deaths, so far, but it's all part of the whole sad picture. And you go from people like me, who just lost power to utter devastation, people who lost everything, just separated by a mere 10 miles!
No one has to reply, I just wanted to spread the word, although with the non-stop news reporting, I bet most of you know more than I do!
