Looking for Gas in Ocean County?

An interactive map shows residents where they can fuel up.

As many Ocean County residents move into their fourth day without power, keeping those generators humming is becoming difficult as few gas stations are open.

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management released a list on Thursday of working gas stations in the state, which a New Brunswick architectural firm morphed into an interactive map with addresses.

But that doesn't mean you won't be facing long lines and short tempers when you get there, as people jostle to score fuel for some power at home.

Find a Wawa that is opening. Set your alarm clock for about 230 in the morning and go. You will be one of the only people in there.
People, you have got to change you're routine to survive. There is no more going to bed at 10pm as normal and doing everything in daylight hours. Shop and gas when you can in the wee hours when the rest are a sleep.

I was there yesterday at 530 right after I heard they were open n selling gas but I'm pretty sure they still are, only 2-3 cars at ea pump. Talking about Exxon at Bay and Fisher blvd in Toms river. Between hooper ave and rt 37 in case anyone's new to area. Just in case the 2 wawas on those have long lines. From what I've heard hooper ave wawa has longer lines than 37 and Garfield. When I called the Garfield one she has to make sure they had gas since there were NO cars around 1130 am the 2nd and they do. Good luck! If you need try hard to get before getting on parkway bc all but the one wo gas are mobbed to move around in I just heard.

@proud-- I couldn't agree with you more. I found it quite ironic that she has a blog on Lacey PatchRead More on which she gives her profile, and it never once mentions her employment with Wall Township. Things that make ya go hmmmmmm.

It's WHAFIS, not WHALIS, and it MUST be incorporated in the overland wave propagation modeling. I'veRead More been telling you this for weeks @Spooner. I offered to discuss it, but you were caught up on some sand blaster theory. BFE's will certainly be affected. As a sidebar, the author of the link mentioned mixed up the mapping terms. We currently have effective maps or FIRM's which establish BFE. The maps (ABFE)that were released in December and adopted as the state building code (+ freeboard) are advisory (incomplete and wrong). Working maps are due out in a few weeks followed shortly thereafter by preliminary maps, which are the maps that can be appealed. Approximately 18 to 24 months after the release of the preliminary maps there will be new effective maps (new FIRM's) with new BFE 's. If the preliminary maps are not drastically different than the ABFE's, you can count on a mass of appeals, and quite likely, protracted litigations.

@Spooner, I have something that you may want to read. Go to the Borough of Mantoloking website. OnRead More the right hand side is a column entitled Post Sandy Information. Near the bottom is a tab called "uncategorized". Click on it and there is a letter used as the Boro response to ABFE. It is very telling and makes a lot of sense.

Congrats, Pat. You deserve this. Despite all you've been through, you kept it going with your job,Read More your writing, and all the "chronicles" that expressed the plight of the Sandy victims in a way that no one else could. That has been so appreciated.
