I was far... FAR underprepared for this. Today is one week without power. No hot water. No heat. Temps are falling into the 30s. A hot shower is a luxury. Gas lines are better, but they were insane. I waited 2 hours, then 1 hour 45, then 45 on 3 diff days. This morning filled up with no line. We have a noreaster coming this week. Basically a huge storm that hovers over the area once it hits land. Sump pump has a battery backup but I don't know how much juice is left. Nobody has generators. NOBODY. And when Home Depot has a shipment coming, people line up and wait literally all day for a chance at one. A lot of people pull together to help, but there are scumbags that are using this as an opportunity to fuck people. There is looting. Noone's house alarms work and they know this. The right to bear arms is crucial now especially. The worst hit was Union Beach, about 30 min south of me. They got hit really bad. Near Katrina type bad, but not quite. Alot of people lost their homes and are still up to their ears in water.
