The governor says they should "let the adults in your community take care of you. We'll be there for you."

Christie made the remarks Monday in Keansburg during a briefing on the storm.

The governor says he's been hugging distraught adults, but was choked up when he met a 9-year-old girl named Ginger in Middletown whose family's home was destroyed by the storm.
