I am in New Jersey as well. I was fortunate enough to get power back fairly quickly, but the rest of my family is in darkness still. It is a struggle every night to find enough gas to fill the generator to keep my grandmother warm at night. Many people are even worse off and have lost their homes. Thanks for your help!
