The Cleanup Continues

Downed trees getting the trim treatment two week after Sandy.

Throughout the Greater Red Bank area, the cleanup continues two weeks after Hurricane Sandy landed in New Jersey. In both Red Bank and Shrewsbury, tree removal experts were hard at work, using tall bucket trucks and even a 50-foot crane to dismantle a large hurricane-damaged tree.

Power to nearly all residents and business has been restored. As of 1:30 p.m. Monday, Jersey Central Power and Light was reporting that 23 Red Bank customers remained without power. In Shrewsbury, the number of impacted customers was less than five.
