More than a million people are still without power since Hurricane Sandy. In Philadelphia, the suburbs, New Jersey, Delaware and the Lehigh Valley, power companies are working around the clock to clear down trees and restore power. Except for the hardest hit at the Jersey shore, the latest projections from PECO, PPL, Delmarva and PSE&G has just about everyone back on the power grid by this weekend.

Governor Christie and President Obama toured the New Jersey coastline from Atlantic City to Point Pleasant this afternoon in the President's helicopter. Flying for about an hour, the President looked down on sand blown neighborhoods, flattened homes and flooded streets. In Seaside Heights he saw that the boardwalk is gone and an amusement pier had washed into the ocean. A crippled bridge to the mainland was littered with cars. The President promised quick assistance.

The photos and videos that are now circulating showing the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy are heartbreaking. Boats piled by the side of the road, houses in the middle of the road, trees inside of houses. New Jersey Governor Christie calls the devastation at the Jersey Shore "Unthinkable" and beyond anything he thought he would ever see. The loss to homes and personal property will be measured in billions of dollars.

| The devastation of Hurricane Sandy is being assessed today. At the Jersey shore, homes were moved off their foundations. Several came to rest in the middle of Route 35 outside of Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights. Atlantic City took a tremendous hit, losing much of the boardwalk, which the ocean sent crashing through homes and businesses. On Long Beach Island the surf overtook the dunes and the ocean met the bay. The Path transit system that serves Manhattan was flooded with sea water and... Read More |

Two days ago, one Philadelphia TV weather guesser said that it would take a "miracle" for this hurricane to hit our area. Now, the latest track is a hard left for Hurricane Sandy - with her firepower hailing over Little Eden, New Jersey and the greater Philadelphia area next week. Still way too early to say for sure. But never too early to start planning just in case.
