Hurricane Sandy hits New Jersey. I awoke this morning to howling winds and torrential rains. I am 40 miles inland but near a small lake. The hurricane is still 250 miles away. Central pressure is 945. Landfall is not projected until this evening. The Jersey shore is receiving a pounding. Gov. Christie has declared a State of Emergency and has evacuated all the barrier islands of New Jersey and all casinos of Atlantic City. It is projected a 6-8 ft. storm surge.
I stocked up on firewood and food. I do not hope we lose power.
I am only in the outer bands. This is just the beginning.
