liberty state park damage
The tidal surge brought 5 feet of water into the now ruined historic CRRNJ Terminal's first floor. The Nature Interpretive Center had flood damage. Mold is setting in. Liberty Walk promenade was damaged; a third of the pavers were blown away.The Jersey Ave footbridge connecting LSP to Jersey Ave downtown was pushed 30 feet from its location and is unusable.Also the Statue Cruises docks were wrecked.
Also debris from the river was tossed throughout the park. There may be a call put out for volunteers in the future to help out. We will keep you posted as parts of LSP are re-opened.
Hopes and prayers are sent out to all.
