When Hurricane Sandy hit the coast of New Jersey, it didn't spare Long Beach Island, an 18 mile barrier island off the coast. During the hurricane, the fierce ocean met the swelling bay, drowning the island from end to end. Many of the homes and stores on the island were destroyed by the hurricane winds and flood waters. The recovery process will be long and arduous.
I visited the island this past week, to deliver re-furbished and painted furniture to a shop in Beach Haven. Like many of the other stores on the island, they lost everything in the storm. Keep the shore towns in your thoughts and prayers and help out where you can.
5 months after the storm, this is what the town of Holgate looks like...
