I woke this morning to find my basement under 1 inch of water.
either my hot water heater burst or I have water in my basement for the first time.
no huge deal either way. but the real tragedy....
we had $150 worth of Girl Scout cookies ready to go....soaked.

I was driving on Route 18 yesterday, crossing River Road. From the river to River Road was totally under water, the horse track didn't exist, and all I could see of the bathrooms were the tippy tops. Insane! Trees were down, and every other road was closed. I was just waiting for the frogs!

i'm in somerset/franklin and easton ave was flooded out in two parts. i heard south middlebush was flooded out at six miles too.
i took a cruise down JFK blvd from easton and saw a lot of fences that were blown apart, and one person lost their back porch. i was driving up on saturday from red bank at about 3 pm from work and i couldn't believe the winds on the parkway coming toward the driscoll bridge. they popped my bike rack on my roof rack straight up - that has never happened to me before.
this thing was like a hurricane, just without a name. thank god the temps didn't drop with it.

At least the nail bangers will get a crack at making some $$. I am sure the tree experts will also have some coin to throw around this spring. It's natures way of economic stimulus. The storm also create a need for everyone to flock to the shore and spend $$ in my place, although the damages will exceed the profits. Oh and the fat cats on the beach got rocked, and i seem to get a bit of satisfaction out of that one.
Metuchen "had" a lot of old trees. Now there are houses holding them up.
I only have to put my fence and kid's playset back together.
