OPINION: Disaster After The Sandy Disaster In Woodbridge

Meanwhile businesses, boardwalks and Belleville got quick payments... and Christie is in Iowa.

Nearly 21 months after Sandy, the Christie administration is still struggling with its vaunted "recovery" programs -- and that means tens of thousands of homeowners are still struggling.

Meanwhile businesses, boardwalks and Belleville got quick payments... and Christie is in Iowa.  Shameful! 

Think about what Patch wrote in its own story on how Hurricane Sandy hit Woodbridge:

Street after street in the area of town off Rahway Avenue looked less like a lake - as they do in the flooding that always hits that area - and more like an extension of Raritan Bay.

Residents in that section of town feared the worse was yet to come - and it did.

The real view of Sandy's power was in Sewaren. The bay was churning like mad, the buoys ringing back and forth like church bells, and the waves crashed on and swamped the boat ramp and dock.

That didn't stop Woodbridge sightseers from venturing out in the weather and taking shots of the hurricane's power.
