   Thank you so much for these pictures. I live in Maine but have summered in Ocean Grove for over 60 years. My sister bought a memorial bench on the boardwalk for my mother recently-it doesn’t look good for the bench but am glad the pavilion is still there!

   I want to thank you, all of you so much. I am in NYC and on the edge of my seat about what is happening on Olin Street, and this local reporting is a godsend. Be safe, everyone.

   4:00 p.m. It’s too difficult and risky to go outside. You can barely see as the wind blows into your face. I tried to walk two blocks to Wesley Lake, but it was impossible—getting soaked and water on my glasses. Being by the ocean is awful.

   Few cars are riding around now. At this point in time there isn’t much to say. Just waiting for the monster to arrive. It feels colder–outside temp is 59 degrees, but there sure is a wind-chill factor today. Electricity still works. PG

   It’s going to be hard to get eyewitness information since that ocean front area has been evacuated, and no one is allowed over there. Hopefully some citizen reporters will contact us.

   We’ve received remarkably little info from folks on the ground there in OG. Please report!

   Does anyone have information regarding the status of either the pier or the boardwalk itself.

    Thanks so much for all OG information. We are so concerned. We think that Blogfinger is such a help.

    glad to see the pier made it through the night & this morning’s high tide. Tonight’s high tide will be rough, however.

    This morning at approx. 10:30 am, three police cars came by separately. One said (to Barry) that our neighborhood was to be evacuated. The second said (to Paul) that all of Ocean Grove had mandatory evacuation orders. Another police car told a neighbor (Joe) that only flood prone streets were to be evacuated. Two members of the emergency team told different neighbors (Sandy and Mary) that only certain streets were to be evacuated. Thus, we have “conflicting information” disseminated to multiple Grovers. —Paul @Blogfinger

    You caption says there is conflicting information…What conflicting info? I think they have been pretty consistent that this storm is going to be bad and everyone needs to leave

    Ted Aanensen says OK as do I. Please only give him the credit and please say Blogfinger staff photographer. Thank you. Also, Dave, if you like to photograph in OG, please send us some of your best work for us to consider. If you do, please tell us about yourself. Paul @Blogfinger

    Hello Paul,

    Fantastic picture. I post daily photos on the “Ocean Grove, New Jersey” fanpage on Facebook.

    Would you and Ted allow me to post this photo? I would give both of you credit as the source.

    Thanks!
