Your neck of the woods has been hit quite often the past several years with these unusually severe storms; we have family in that area and all over the state of N.J. Northern N.J. also has had its share of flooding the past few years and lately power outages/trees down etc. Ditto for the middle of the state.

It is devastating, but yet inspiring to see neighbors and even strangers pitching in to help. God Bless.
