Ortley Beach

Homes left abandoned in Toms River since Sandy will be up for possible demolition by the Township.

Sandy-devastated Ortley Beach residents are scared that another named storm will destroy the slow recovery efforts they're making after nearly being wiped off the coast by Superstorm Sandy last year.

Frustration over the pace of storm recovery boiled over in Toms River when Ortley Beach residents converged on the town council meeting.

Governor Chris Christie and President Barack Obama have each told residents and consumers across the country that the Jersey shore is open for business this summer, but that's not true everywhere along the coast.

While the entire nation turns their attention towards this week's tragic events in Moore, Oklahoma, there's still a great need at the Jersey Shore almost seven months after Superstorm Sandy came crashing in.

The first of about 100 homes in Toms River beyond repair in the aftermath of the Superstorm go under the wrecking ball starting Saturday.

Ortley Beach, Toms River's most storm-battered portion, will reopen for repopulation, but Township Mayor Tom Kelaher warns it could be while until things are fully normal in that part of town.

Residents in a Jersey shore community among the hardest-hit by Superstorm Sandy will start moving back home on Feb. 4.

New Jersey lawmakers who toured hard-hit areas of the Jersey Shore after Superstorm Sandy were amazed by the destruction in the Ortley Beach section of Toms River.
