My name is Daniel, I’m 15 and I live way over in that little dot called Australia. I have a very close friend who lives in New Jersey, which as you know was hit by the biggest storm the U.S has seen for 100 years hours ago. As of yet, I have no idea if she’s even alive and I’m scared, I came here because I know y’all have a habit of being kind people and right now I need someone to talk to.
 
Would you happen to know whether she lives on the coast or further inland? I’d be willing to wager that she is alright, but power outages may make communication more difficult. Please let us know if you hear any word.
 
God bless you in your concern for your friend.

I will echo the last poster, I suspect your friend if OK. The Governor of that State was pretty proactive in getting people to evacuate areas that would be hit hardest. While the storm was massive and complicated by normal high tides made worse by storm surge, people were largely moved out of that area. The winds themselves were not so awful as in a Category 5 storm - this one appeared to stay a category 1. There was a lot of disruption of communication and electrical outages over large areas. I would think it will be more that a week before you can reach your friend, so pray and try not to be anxious.

Do let us know how she is when you get word.

And what do you mean small dot! I have been on your lovely continent and it is pretty large! 🙂
 
Everything I’m seeing this morning suggests that while there was a lot of rain and high tide, I suspect most people are okay. Electricity is out so the toughest thing may be with people keeping warm.

We’ll keep your friend and all those that are recovering from this storm in our thoughts and prayers.
 
God bless you for the concern you have for your friend. I pray that she is safe, protected, and with her family and loved ones.

I also pray that you find peace and trust in the Lord’s goodness…
 
In response to the questions to her location, she lives right near the coast, around Atlantic City
 
Thank you all. I recently recieved the news that my friend is alive and well, along with her family. I can’t even put into words the relief I’m feeling right now. And I thank you all so much for the support you gave me.
 
Good on you and your friend Daniel! I am so happy that they are all ok and were able to let you know so soon.

Now for all the cleanup and support to those people. It has been reported that caravans of utility trucks for electrical and other service have come in from other states such as Illinois, Indiana and some of the New England states to help those hit by Sandy. Lots of prayers being offered up. And our government seems much more on the ball than they did during the one that hit New Orleans.
