As Twitchy reported, the Jersey Shore started getting battered by Hurricane Sandy well before the destructive storm hit land. The aftermath of the storm has resulted in utter devastation and heartbreak.
Rasmussen reports that they will have limited data available. They are based in Asbury Park, N.J.

Like in Seaside Heights, N.J., the force of Hurricane Sandy has totally wiped blocks of the boardwalk away.

Governor Christie expressed his heartache after surveying the damage.
Heading by helicopter to the Jersey Shore to assess the damage. From early reports, it appears to be unthinkable. #Sandy

Yes, you will. And Governor Christie is vowing the same.
We will rebuild the Shore. It may not be the same, but we will rebuild. #Sandy
Governor Christie (@GovChristie) October 30, 2012
You will rebuild, New Jersey. Stay strong, together. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all.
I lived across from Driftwood Beach Club after high school and got to know the Sea Bright bar seen well. Moved down to Spring Lake and Belmar later for a change of pace. CNN was reporting from Belmar tonight. Couldn't believe what they were showing. I'm sick about it.
It's amazing that the structure made it all the way to 36. Dear Lord, that must have been one massive tidal surge.
