Mantoloking

Work crews are preparing to demolish storm-damaged homes in the Jersey shore town that was hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy.

With anther monument to Sandy's devastation removed, the Department of Environmental Protections says boaters, beachgoers, and anglers should not worry too much about debris this summer.

A iconic image of Superstorm Sandy will soon be gone.

The community that was hardest-hit by Superstorm Sandy is preparing to use eminent domain to take small strips of land from oceanfront homeowners who are holding up a critically needed beach replenishment project.

Placing sand and gravel-filled Geotextile fabric tubes along Mantoloking's ocean front is estimated to cost anywhere from $6 to $8 million dollars, which Mantoloking officials believe is a necessary expense for protection.

The Jersey shore town hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy is planning to put sand-filled fabric tubes on its beach to protect its storm-ravaged coastline.

New Jersey has reached another milestone in its recovery from Sandy.

One hundred and twenty-seven days after Superstorm Sandy hit the Garden State, residents of, arguably, the hardest hit municipality will finally be allowed to return home.

Doug and Joyce Popaca were accustomed to storms, having lived in Mantoloking near the ocean for 37 years.

The main north-south route that connects Ocean County's Northern Barrier Island communities is re-opening through the Sandy-ravaged borough of Mantoloking today. But stiff restrictions will be in place.
