50 years ago today (Sorry, Johnny wasn't around for this one or he'd share tales of the sea), one of, if not THE biggest storm to ever hit the Jersey Shore pounded the Garden State.
The storm of 1962, also called the Ash Wednesday Storm, the Five High Storm and the Atlantic Coast Storm was a devastating three-day event in which a nor'easter sat off the coast for days until finally coming ashore and when it did some 45,000 buildings got flattened, according to National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration estimates.
An amazing story today from the good people at the Star-Ledger.
