Phones at police headquarters are out and several structural fires burned as Berkeley woke up to the devasation of Hurricane Sandy.
Roads are impassible in the low-lying and waterfront sections. Transformers blew overnight as a burning smell lingered along Route 9.
From Berkeley's website:

I tried to call a power company to report an outage for the Bayville area for my sister and all others, but I could not get through the automated message line that said, "Due to high volume and Sandy, etc., please call back at another time" or something like that. I wish I could help more, but being here in Georgia I feel a bit helpless.

Does anyone in Bayville, NJ have power yet? My sister and her husband who is in hospice care are at their home and I cannot get hold of them. If anyone has an estimated time of power return, please let me know. I keep trying to call her cell phone but nothing. Thanks for any info.
