    This is seaside heights that used to be an amusement pier... with all sorts of rides. It USED to have a huge boardwalk... This is crazy. I saw a pic online of Atlantic city.. all u see is wooden pillars where the boardwalk used to be.. and brick foundations.. without buildings---only the foundation is left. When i find that pic i will post it.

    Superstorm Sandy's extremes, by the numbers
    The Associated Press

    Hurricane Sandy, after killing at least 69 people in the Caribbean, streamed northward, merged with two wintry weather systems and socked the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes with wind, waves, rain and snow. Some figures associated with Sandy's rampage through the U.S., as of Tuesday evening:

    — Maximum size of storm: 1,000 miles across
    — Highest storm surge: 13.88 feet, at New York
    — Number of states seeing intense effects of the storm: At least 17
    — Deaths: At least 55
    — Damage: Estimated property losses at $20 billion, ranking the storm among the most expensive U.S. disasters
    — Top wind gust on land in the U.S.: 140 mph, at Mount Washington, N.H.
    — Power outages at peak: More than 8.5 million
    — Canceled airline flights: More than 18,100
    — Most rainfall: 12.55 inches, at Easton, Md.
    — Most snow: 29 inches, at Redhouse, Md.
    — Evacuation zone: Included communities in more than 400 miles of coastline from Ocean City, Md., to Dartmouth, Mass.

    my power, and internet keeps coming and going... i had water yesterday, but today i did not--guess they turned it off to fix something.

    The Trenton USPS processing center is still without power. That is just insane, because we are doing our mail and theirs-- there is no room to walk in our building because of it.

    Actually, I don't think the AC boardwalk was hit too hard. I think the one section that was destroyed was scheduled for demolition anyway. The one at Seaside Heights is gone.
