Governor Christie's Press Release: Water supply wells experienced moderate to significant damage and they're working to make sure water supplies aren't contaminated. Many facilities have lost power, 29 hospitals for now, more being called in. Most are doing alright and using generators. They need help from FEMA and are getting assistance. Beaches and houses all along New Jersey shoreline are completely under water. Streets are completely flooded.
There is no power all over the place, and they're assessing the situation with natural gas pipe lines. Atlantic City being evacuated by search and rescue teams. There are houses in the middle of the street that have washed away, floating in the middle of Route 35, it is unfathomable. I didn't expect things to be this bad. The hurricane doubled in speed, giving us a break. If it had stayed traveling at 14 mph, we would have seen the worse of the storm at high tide.
"Devastation that has happened to New Jersey is beyond anywhere else. The devastation is unprecedented, unlike anything we've ever seen before."
This is absolutely the case. Please check in with friends and family that live in and around New Jersey to make sure everyone is okay.
