OK, in central New Jersey I guess.
I have seen more damage done during a winter Nor'easter.
These pictures were taken as the eye wall start to pass over
and still had another 30 minutes of incoming tide.

Note the B placard. Docks came close to floating away.

Boat was fine since I pulled it but I believe the Philadelphia area was hit harder than Jersey. I live in the suburbs and we lost power about midnight. About 12:30 the water was starting to come in the basement. I grab my extention cords and headed for the nieghbors generator. With sump pumps working overtime and myself soaken wet I finally fell asleep about 4am.

We just got power back online today at 1:30pm. I picked up my generator at 10:00am for the next one that I hope never comes.
