A very cool map of a very uncool storm

Superstorm Sandy left New Jersey reeling. We've all heard the news accounts and seen the stories of each town rebuilding with a vigor to keep going financially and in part defiance. Moving forward is the course of action the Garden State is all about. There is, however, a very cool map done by NJ Spotlight which is an 'Interactive Map: Assessing Damage from Superstorm Sandy'. It is really quite interesting to see how the damage patterns emerge from town to town and from the water inland. As you might expect Jersey City was one of the hardest hit areas especially business wise. It also gives a final total of damaged homes, businesses and apartments as well as if damage was considered minor, major or severe. Some excellent info in a very complete and helpful map while the clock ticks towards 5 o'clock and the weekend.
