Sandy: Over 35,000 without power in New Jersey

October 29, 2012 22:53

Hurricane Sandy update: If your power goes out, don't try to fix it yourself, New Jersey Gov Chris Christie said.

"If you do not have power, please do not choose today as the time you decide to tap into your creative juices and jerry-rig a power source. If it looks stupid, it is stupid," he said.

By Monday afternoon, more than 35,000 customers had lost power throughout the state.

As Sandy approaches, the resort towns along the New Jersey shoreline are bearing the brunt of the hurricane's force. A real estate agent in Sea Isle is updating his website with images of flooded properties and streets.
