Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey particularly hard. NJ State Geologist Karl Muessig reports that
NJ
State offices are still closed. The Survey building has no power.
Lots of downed trees & wires are hampering recovery operations.
Tomorrow they hope to officially re-open but reporting to an
emergency location with power.
Governor
Christie is asking President Obama to have the Army Corps of Engineers
to help rebuild beaches with protective dunes, which could generate lots
of debate about the geomorphic consequences of those kinds of
changes. [Right, USGS map of probabilities of coastal erosion along NJ coast from Sandy]
