How bad was last week's storm in NJ?

I went for a short walk today and took a few pictures of the carnage wrought by the big storm

It was ridiculously windy. I thought I walked out into a hurricane.

If anyone else saw some major damage, I'd be interested in knowing where they live.

The above pictures are from Essex County in Northern New Jersey.

I think this is the storm that we had a little less than two weeks ago. Constant thundering, heavy rains, etc. It was pretty bad, but there was no real physical damage where we were (northern Ohio).

It hit PA and NJ and that's when the microbursts started.

Er, I'm in Central Jersey and all we had was strong winds and rain, but nothing to write home about.

Interesting. Most of the major damage seems to have been in my area. It's a week later and you still hear chainsaws going all day. It's been a bonanza for the tree surgeons.

On a completely unrelated note, I saw a picture of Hayden from Feb 19. Is that his birthday? If so, Hayden is 29 years younger than me to the day.

Ditto, a few small branches in the road was about it. (Monmouth County)

Yup, that is his birthday. Hail, fellow pisces!

We had trees down here in Ocean County.

Not so fast there. Astrology doesn't have a good definition for Hayden or I. Is Pisces Feb 19 - March 20 or is it Feb 20 - Mar 20? They can't agree. One book a friend read said I'd have partial Pisces and partial Aquarius characteristics. Basically, they can blur the line even that much further. Anytime psychics are wrong in their fortunes they just blame it on me being the other side. Anytime psychics are correct, they take credit.

That is, if I cared which I don't.

There was a storm? No wonder there are branches down all over the lawn and the grass grew 4 inches.

That's a huge tree to be ripped right out of the ground like that

Trees like that are ripped up all over town. It's really quite unbelievable. The storm only last 30 minutes or so...
