FEMA Housing Request

We received this e-mail today from the director of the Cape May County Board of Realtors:

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is coordinating displaced hurricane survivors with temporary housing.Â Most survivors who may be able to temporarily relocate to Cape May County are single persons or couples, since families with kids choose to remain in their school districts.

Please contact Â Â Â Â gladys.kastrup@FEMA.dhs.govÂ Â Â for information if you are able to help.

That’s Better!

Much better start of my work day- colorful sky over a calm ocean…and no wind!

Winter Wind :(

By ann

This is the time of year when air temperature doesn’t totally determine proper dress for a beach walk.

That wonderful sea breeze in the summer months literally turns on us in the winter…and becomes WIND!

Yet still worthwhile to bundle up, turn your face to the warm sun, and breathe in the fresh salt air.

See you on the beach 🙂

Thanksgiving

By ann

This year, a day of thanksÂ with even more meaning.

Our shore neighbors continue the clean up and restoration of their homes and businesses.Â Â It will be an especially difficult holiday season for many.

Residents in towns farther north face the overwhelming task of rebuilding structures, as well as communities.

In the wake of incredible devastation; compassion, generosity, commitment, and hope remain strong.

Bridge to Sea Isle City

By ann

I was able to get a first hand view of the damaged roadway connecting Avalon to the Townsends Inlet Bridge. Â Even today, the waves were breaking over the rock wall. Â This has been an on going issue- well before the storm. Â It was not that unusual to be splashed on your way to the bridge!

According to an article in today’s Atlantic City Press, the road will likely be closed until spring.

Shades of Gray?

By ann

Well, the Jersey shore version 😉 Â It occurred to me this morning- why I find more sea glass on the beach in the off season. The color of the glass…even though softened from tumbling through the waves…stands out against the many shades of gray.
