If I'm still around Monday, I'll report back on the damage we sustain in
my town, 8 miles from the PA border here in NJ.
Okay... So here is the situation... We lost power for a total of around 20
minutes at the house. Heavy rain caused a bit of erosion of my landscaping
and I had plenty of time to work on the generator since my shop was
powerless until Tuesday morning.
The heavy rain around us in farm country, NJ wasn't such a problem as the
local streams handled it pretty well. The only major problem we have in
town is that the water rushed down a hillside, across a roadway removing the
guard rails and road surface and dumped it all into the local stream where
it was promptly washed away. Some downed trees due to the wind.
Next town over still has some power outages and of course some downed trees.
My son's school (high school - started last Thursday) was closed Monday and
is operational today.
Here at work, we are 750' from the Passaic River which is at a historic
flood stage. We are fine here but didn't have power yesterday. ...Actually,
that's a lie. We had partial three phase to the building which was about as
useful as no power.
In town, it's a HUGE mess. All the water we got at the house came
downstream to areas like here and elsewhere and those downstream areas are
extremely flooded. ...As in still impassable and probably severely damaged.
I still don't have internet so I'm typing this and sending it, but it may
not go out until the DSL comes back up.
Seeing as fiber is available all around here, I'm guessing DSL will be their
*last* priority.
(Just reset the router. If I caught this before the mail client replicated,
you will get only this copy of my message...)

Joe Agro, Jr.
