Unfortunately you are screwed. Go to 130 and take that north, or a combination of something like that. Rt 1 is closed just north of Ridge Rd?

I dont know. I tried to stay near Rt1 cuz I didnt want to be stuck on a road where I wouldnt be able to try another route.

PolarBear 08-28-2011 07:52 PM

This is why Rt1 was closed at the 1/95/295 junction

Ouch man, I hope not.


Surf was pretty big today. I think I got Christie in an Army copter too. I'll upload them in a minute.

deadtrend1 08-28-2011 08:08 PM

Still without power here. I stuffed ice in the fridge but it may not be enough.

Cold showers are so much fun...

yeah there is a good sized creek back there that overflows. The company I used to work for had their claim department in the back building in the lower floor on Princeton pike just north of 95 (so basically right behind joes is creek, then the building I'm talking about). We had a similar storm then and the river just poured into that building.

Martell's? Their FB page says they are opening Monday at 11:00am, so they are still standing.

Because of the power outages I am seeing so many stars. It's nothing like upstate ny or anything remote but its still nice to see especially after last might weather!

I've been out of power since 12 noon. Sump battery backup gave up at 6, ran through 2 car batteries and am running an inverter and charger now to try for another 6. For those that went to the duke island meet- the river flooded the entire park right up to the entrance gate.

WayFast84 08-29-2011 12:56 AM

I'm still at work. gonna be here for a while... right now I'm working nights at firmenich but don't actually work for them.. its odd

Wow....I thought your neighborhood sat higher up than the park entrance. Good luck keeping the water at bay.

where is the other one?

Anti_Rice_Guy 08-29-2011 09:34 AM

Bayville. Just south of the Toms River on Barnegat Bay. It's far nicer.

to stay on topic, it took me 2 hours go get to Roseland from my house this morning, solely due to traffic on 80/280 since I knew what roads were closed. Had to rip up carpet at my grandma's house across town yesterday afternoon so I was out and about fording rivers.

Tru2Chevy 08-29-2011 11:24 AM

Still at work here...been here since 4:30 yesterday. Should be going home tonight at midnight. Our lab is closed but it's been a crazy busy day. Lost power briefly this morning, lost both of our remote access servers, lost the server that contains the share drive for all of the lab administrators....and on top of that someone approved a delivery for 40 cases of printer paper this morning, so we had to un-sandbag our loading dock and carry all the paper out of the back of the rental van it was delivered in because the delivery company didn't want to take their box trucks out due to the flooding :roll:
