Clean up continues

1st & Surf Ave. Parking Lot - Dumpster Ctiy
2nd Avenue, North Wildwood, NJ
Mornin'!  It's 45° under dark, clear, pre-dawn skies in Wildwood.  Temps will reach the mid 50's again (unseasonably cool) with a mix of clouds and sun.  This cool pattern will continue through the weekend as well as the dry, breezy, chilly air continues to wift (I mean waft) over the island.  Winds are from the West at 15-20mph.  It's good weather to dry out the artificial Christmas greens and bows! 
High tide:10:33a.m.
Low tide:4:53p.m.
Ocean temp:59°
Sunset:5:58p.m. (getting early)
End of daylight savings: tomorrow and sunset will really be early:(
Things in Wildwood are taking shape as piles after piles of dune reeds are strategically piled and waiting for pickup.  Dumpters are also strategically placed to convenience homeowners who must rid their homes of wet stuff.  Furniture and trash is curbside everywhere you look.  Contractors are everywhere.  Public Adjusters are everywhere.  Visitors are everywhere gazing at the new landscape on the beach.  For the most part, Wildwood was unscathed if comparing us to our north island neighbors who got much more of a direct hit from Sandy.  Even though our beaches and dunes have devastation, they've saved the island's homes, boardwalk and businesses.  Spirits remain up!

Neither carpet nor spirits were dampened in our house from the ground floor up, one block from Boardwalk Hall in AC. Fridge contents disposed of with crumbs of whimsy. Well wishes to all in recovery from Sandy!!!
