We are all well, thankfully. The folks stayed with us for a while -- they just got power back on 11/11. I have friends who just got it back today, the 13th. Crazy. My parent's beach place is in Ocean Beach Unit 2--just down the road from Normandy. I feel so badly for you and your family -- I hear Normandy was particularly hard hit. It'll be a long time rebuilding. if you ever get out this way, holler at me!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301980452160190844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-25970280196302167162012-11-08T15:45:49.182-08:002012-11-08T15:45:49.182-08:00I'm glad you wrote this because I was wonderin...I'm glad you wrote this because I was wondering how you were faring. As you may or may not know, I'm from Middletown (Monmouth County) and many of my family members still live in NJ. My cousin in Chester STILL has no power post-Sandy, and post-Nor'Easter yesterday. However, despite the fact that I've stayed warm and dry way out here in the Midwest, my family and I have spent the days since Sandy in an uproar over our Shore home (today is the first day I've even had time to look at blogs). We're in Normandy Beach. From the photo it looks like your parent's place is in Ortley? It is just practically Armageddon on our island, isn't it... <br /><br />We all knew this could happen but I don't think any of us thought it would ever be *this* bad. My family is incredibly lucky - we did get water but not the 3' your parents appear to have gotten, and our place is still standing. So many others are not so fortunate. It's heartrending to see what's become of our beautiful towns and beaches we love so much.<br /><br />I hope you and your family stay safe and your parents are able to fully recover from their losses. Best wishes!RiderWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679157278313699794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561355549554649764.post-14368624585890012442012-11-06T19:13:06.767-08:002012-11-06T19:13:06.767-08:00Glad you all came out safe and sound!
