I had no power for 3 days, thank goodness for fam. I waited on a car line for an hour to fill up my tank. All said and done I am lucky and grateful compared to others. It's crazy speaking to some nyc peeps , some are oblivious to the reality of this storm. In my opinion this shit is worse than other tragedies in the past, I'll omit my examples. This storm creates a generation of homeless and destroyed lives, I'm really sad for my adopted state of Jersey. My street is the only one with power in my neighborhood , this morning I saw people sleeping in their cars for heat. I already had 3 stranger families in my house for a warm meal ( if they accepted) and an hour to charge their devices and to reach out to fam and work. This was a moving experience, and they better have cancelled that fucking marathon. Keep your spirits up and remember your neighbors, that's all we really have. Family and compassion , that's what seperates us from the 'animals'.

That being said I'm getting trashed tonight grateful for what I have and for those that don't

I've been out of the loop as well. I have had no power all week and it doesn't look any better as of tonight. I heard it might take another week before I get power back.

Running generators in my house for my fridges have taken a lot of my time. I don't even have heat at my house or cable/internet.

And getting gasoline at new jersey? It took me few hours to fill a 5 gallon this morning.

This is really screwing with all my plans this weekend too. Its hard going out to the city from NJ when you have no gas ;-/

I know people have worse problems but this is so inconvenient.

I have no electricity/internet at my house, last night was unbelievably cold. I could see my breath as i laid in bed. All the hope I had in getting my power back soon is gone. My sisters friend who's father is a city worker said that my area MAYBE get power back by Friday. From what I've been hearing, there is another storm (possibly snow) approaching for Wednesday. If we're not already fucked, my area is going to be even more fucked.

The worst part about everything is the lack of support we've been getting from my local government. Yesterday (11-3) they set up a meeting at the recreation center in front of my house. I thought okay good, they are probably going to talk about the current situation in our area (Linden, NJ btw)...Nope it was a god damn election meeting, talking about the fucking candidates....like wtf, who cares about that right now..

I had to vent for a bit. I have a 1/5th of my tank right now and used it to drive up to campus to charge my laptop and phone.

Sorry for all those still without power- stay strong and use the help that is out there. I just donated clothes and food here at Ridgefield park- hopefully it gets to those that need it soon.

Noreaster is coming Wed/Thurs but supposed to be wind and rain, not snow. Still going to suck.

just got my internet back and gonna contribute to red cross
do whatever you can people

Just a heads up, when donating to the red cross, it's best to give money and not items. Clothes etc have to be washed and prepped and it's a much longer process. $$ is best because it can be easily allocated.

...This weekend I helped out in several areas along the Jersey Shore that were hit hard by this horrific storm. Weather it was Demo work, Cutting down trees, throwing out damaged possessions, or even just rounding up some firewood...its all about putting the small things we take for granted aside and doing the right thing to help those who were deeply affected by this storm and assisting in a quick recovery. The images i saw up-close this weekend between Silverton, Beach Haven West, Brick and Long Branch was very heartbreaking.

Hey guys, make sure you prepare for Wednesday, another NorEaster is forecast to hit with wind and rain.
