Hurricane Sandy "A Long Night" For Hanover Township

On the day following Hurricane Sandy, most of the Township was without power. But according to Township Manager Jay Finnigan, Public Works was able to clear 125 trees from the roads and fixed over 50 signs.

Hurricane Sandy also prompted over forty calls about downed wires and trees to Hanover Township's volunteer firefighters. "It was nothing too serious," stated volunteer EMT Chris Smith. "But it was a long night for sure."

The fire company, located near Wegman's, also served as a back-up shelter for the American Red Cross. Twenty empty cots decorated the meeting hall, just in case.

    The residents in Hanover have and are receiving great service. It will be interesting if they clean up all the residents storm debris as they did last year.

    It was amazing to watch the public works staff clear my street and the crew I had was lead by Mr. Finnegan and Mr. Milite.

    These two lead by example and not delegation.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
