I heard from my niece who lives in Linwood NJ..... about 10 miles west of Atlantic City, across the bay and the marshes.
She said power was on, they had no flooding and very little damage from the wind.....part of a fence needed to be straightened up. No major trees down or other similar issues.
It is amazing how if you are north of the eye, the damage is severe, but literally just a mile or so south of the eye, and there is almost no damage.
A few years back, I was headed to a private beach house a friend let me use for a week. This was about a month after a medium sized hurricane came in on NC. Topsail Beach. The Island entrance road we used brought us in on the northern end of the island and it was 20 miles or so to the house on the southern end. The eye of the storm came in about halfway down the island.
As we drove down we were thinking there was no way this house was undamaged and in condition for us to stay even though my friend had been there to clean up and check it out. We were seeing houses moved off their foundations, roofs in the marsh, rooms open to the outside where walls were torn off, piles of rubble where houses once stood, pilings sticking out of the sand where houses once stood, even rebar reinforced cinder block foundation walls were smashed.
When we got to the place where the eye came ashore, the difference was startling. It was almost like nothing had happened there. We saw none of the destruction we had seen to the north behind us. Mostly we saw shingles missing on roofs, vinyl siding peeled off, and sand drifts but the damage was minimal compared to just a short distance back.
The house we stayed at had some sand on the deck but no damage.
