Does the Governor really think it's a good idea to have trick or treating on November 5,2012, it can't be safe for the kids out there. Just stupid!

They should have a trick or treat tailgate parade at the baseball stadium in Lakewood. That would be safer.

How will we be notified of when the police escorts will be taking residents back to the barrier island to visit their homes? When is the estimated time frame when Ortley residents CAN live in their homes if not totally destroyed?

What's the info with the gas rationing??? Im in toms river. On 37, Raceway. Gas by hooper, DON'T go there!! My husband was told no gas and a car pulled in after him and they pumped their gas. They are only filling up who they want! Also across the street from them One Stop is charging at least $.30 MORE a gallon!

For the rest of NJ trick or treat is fine for Monday but Toms River and most of the rest of Ocean County should just let the kids have there partys when they return to school and be done with it. We wont be ready by Monday

Trying to call that non emergency number, but just getting busy signal or no answer. Does anyone know when, if or how we can get a police escort to assess damage to our bay house in normandy beach that is accessible by boat?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think you're going to get over there for quite some time....

(From nj.com):

"In fact, residents on the barrier islands, from Bay Head to Holgate, won’t be returning to their homes anytime soon, the governor said. Although power may be restored to Long Beach Island by next week, damage assessments still have to be conducted to determine whether it’s safe for homeowners to return. The process will be much longer on the northern barrier island from Bay Head to Island Beach State Park because of the widespread destruction that he called "unfathomable."

Last night, local police departments ordered mandatory evacuations of Seaside Heights, Seaside Park, island sections of Berkeley Township, South Seaside Park, Lavallette, Ortley Beach and Mantoloking. Residents may not be allowed back for up to eight months."

When i called the Tr police number all i was told is to call back monday just to see if there is an update. The person never stated the part about busing peple as Chris stated. If you know anyone in downtown toms river please let them know that power trucks are working in the area. Hopefully those people will get power tonight. Even though my apt is over the bridge I just want to say all that I am praying for all people affected in Nj.

I just want to know when the power is gonna come on??does anyone know???

I do know that my house is still intact because a picture was sent to me. I would like to get in to get our personal items. And the water needs to be turned off! It would be horrible to have the pipes freeze and destroy the house when it withstood this tragedy! I called the TR police dept and was told that no plan was in place yet to escort us to our homes. I'm really disappointed in the lack of information being supplied to us by Toms River.

How can they think about trick or treat when half the township is without power.

If you know of a gas station that is price gouging call 800 242 5846. They will investigate.

Anyone check out lavallete.org. town is taking pictures of every house organized by strre. Tr site lack of info promoting golf putting. Get with it Mr mayor... we are frustrated by lack of communication.

Does anyone really know the damage sustained in Snug Harbor??...my brother lost his home...no one coming there to help...and my mom lives in TR too off of Fischer Blvd..the place is a disaster..there aren't only summer homes...people lost their lives!!!..they are on their own...thank god my mom came up north to Bergen County for the storm..

We would all want to see pictures of our streets or videos of our areas to get some idea of our damages. Does anyone know if there is an Internet site to see Ortley beach pictures

I'm off fisher begins the bellcrest plaza bk n old closed food town. It's frustrating; I JNOW it could be worse than spending all my money feeding my kids out and batteries we could get etc and TG for 4 seasons and rite aid and their generators. 4 seasons owners and staff are VERY helpful and generous helong in any way they could. There are outlets by some of the fabled n. they let you charge not just out phones but my nook with glow light. Having said that the extra weird part is my neighbor 2 houses down on my st and the st perpendicular some of them have power. For days already since wed n thurs. wtf? I know we aren't in same grid and not surprised as we lost power Sun too due to car accident putting pole down few hrs and and same neighbor was not affected but aren't they going in any kind of order? Or maybe they're assuming neighbors would help ea other. Bahaha I'm the only idiot who would've had the neighborhood on my couch. The kids at least. Im grateful my kids are in ny now bc they were getting sick but I have family pressuring me to leave and I don't want to leave my pets now that the kids are safe. Did y know a cats ears could get cold?? Sorry today's the first morning I broke down n cried n prayed lol I guess I wish we KNEW more vs maybe a month prob under a wk more now and had to vent.

There are many houses in foreclosures. Why can't we sign some papers,or get some lawyers to volunteer their time,and use them for these devasted families?.They may not be furnished,but at least there is heat,hot water,and a roof!
If we all chip in to make it livable,we can do our part to help.
LET'S NOT HAVE ANOTHER EMBARRASSING KATRINA!!!

I read that there is a need for baby supplies at the Toms River East shelter. Please let me know if that is true as of today, what is most needed for babies, and whether supplies can be delivered there by UPS under current conditions and I will place an order. Thank you.

Hi. Message for Dainty or anyone from Toms River area? I'm in the UK and trying to find out if a relative is ok. She lives in Spanish Wellls Street and wondering how much damage there is there? I'm hoping she went to her son's place but unable to get through to anyone. Any info would be gratefully received as frantic here. Hope things get sorted for you soon. Can only try to imagine what you're going through. Thanks in advance. Claire

CLAIRE H. -- Spanish Wells St is not far from me in the Holiday City retirement community. If you check back here about 3:00 PM I will let you know if there is power restored in that area.... If anyone else wants to give me the addresses of senior citizens they would like to check up on in the HOLIDAY CITY @Berkeley community in TOMS RIVER I would be glad to make a list and go check for you....

Mattie, you're an angel!!!!! She lives at 24 and her name is Eillen. My mum Beryl would hug you if she could and so would I. Xxx thank you just doesn't seem enough but it's all I have

Claire... I just got back from Spanish Wells.... they DO have power. I spoke to someone who was outside cleaning up their yard and he said they had power restored since late Wed. afternoon. The street itself looks good, there were two trees that came down, but they were already cleaned up - cut and stacked at the curb. A few houses lost some roof shingles, but there was absolutely NO flooding issues in that area at all. I didn't see your post before I left, so I didn't check on #24 specifically. There were several houses on that street that looked closed up and dark, so there's a good chance Eileen is at her son's house?? But if she's back home, she has heat, hot water and electric - so all's good! :-)

Mattie. Words can't describe how much I appreciate what you have done. Thank you so very very much. You're a gem xxxxxxx

No problem, Claire! Glad to help.

Anyone with information about John D. Post at 62 Parisian Drive please contact
ragotzkie@wisc.edu

Anyone whos car registration ran out in October has a one month extension apparenly the police are unaware.

I don't think kids should go out trick or treating tomorrow. This is very upsetting. It is suppose to be my toddlers first Halloween and has been ruined. I'm just heart broken. It's just not safe. They should do it in a closed in environment. Anyways, since schools are closed what is the times to go out with the kids. Please give a notice soon.

@Mattie- you are so right. It just isn't right to bring my toddlers door to door when I know there are people lacking on shelter, power, and heat.

I went to North Gateway. Homes are fine and electric is on.

Does anyone know whether Gorginio Drive was hit by Sandy? I have a friend who lives there and would like to know how she is. Communications were down the last time I sent an e-Mail and I know that the post office was closed so regular mails was not getting through. I am a friend from the UK and would appreciate some news. I wish you guys the best of everything in the clean-up and restoration of electricity and gas, etc., and sincerely hope that not too many people were injured or killed in the storm.

The corpse is apparently well http://www.coachoutletonlinegg.com preserved: a young woman, lying face down, http://www.coachoutletonlineaol.net shielding her face with her hands at the moment http://www.coachfactoryoutletwy.com of death. Her dress has risen up http://www.coachoutletstorefc.com and is tangled around her waist, her bare http://www.coachoutletaol.org legs exposed beneath.She is currently on display at http://www.coachfactoryoutetmp.com the J Paul Getty Museum in Malibu, as the first http://www.coachoutletns.com exhibit in a show that explores the ways that http://www.coachoutletstoreonlineys.net modern artists - from Francesco Piranesi http://www.coachfactoryonlineest.net to Anthony Gormley - have responded http://www.coachfactoryoutletpst.com to history's most famous volcanic eruption.
