Here are some additional scenes from around Basking Ridge left in Sandy's aftermath — some that qualify as "hard to believe your eyes."

Some of these photos from the last few days were submitted by township residents Elizabeth Gene, Michael Garrett and Jake Sperling.

Additional photos are on an earlier story from the day after Sandy.

Please submit your own photos, but stay safe and stay away from wires!

somerville road is still closed between mountain rd and allen road

Hi linda
Thanks for all the great reporting. Is there a way here or on the FB page to ask residents to add their streets back when they get power? I imagine there are others like us who have relocated so as to get power and want to know when we get it back.

Thanks!
Kathy

Hi Linda, I understand there are a lot of people suffering during this time. I have also heard that many people are land locked. We are one of them as well as 7 other homes on Franklin Dr and Park View Ave in BR. If you have some time take a look at this neighborhood. Thanks for your updates...
