It was great to hear Tom's musical tribute to NJ. Very heartfelt, and there were a few times during the show when I was on the verge of tears. Whenever Tom laments about how great the Best Show audience and NJ is, I'm always full of emotion. My part of South Jersey was hit by the storm, but no damage or power out thankfully. Just a tree down a few houses away. But to watch what was happening with the shore, which like many NJ-sians is a place that is visited by me frequently at all times of the year, was so heartbreaking.
However, from the pictures I've seen and from what I've heard on the local news, there was only a small part of the Atlantic City boardwalk that was damaged from the storm. There was a section north of the casinos that was washed away by damaging waves. The main boardwalk where the casinos and main attractions are located escaped relatively unharmed. The dunes inbetween the boardwalk and the beach saved it from any damage. AC was still hit hard though with flooding and wind.
