    'Superstorm' Sandy: Your stories

    Crew Removes Felled Tree During Sandy

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     noelvalero reported a downed tree on his street in Princeton Junction, NJ, tonight and within two hours, a crew was there cleaning it up. 'I wanted to give credit to the hard working crews who will work through the night to keep us safe. ... It was quite a surprise because I figured the township was being pounded by Sandy,' he said.

    'I was relieved that people were looking out for us. We aren’t going anywhere but it is a relief to not be trapped. These workers are dedicated and are actually risking their lives tonight,' he said.

    PLEASE NOTE: Sandy is an extremely dangerous storm. We urge iReporters to take caution when documenting the storm and follow local guidance. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor warnings issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
    - zdan, CNN iReport producer

    Less than an hour after Sandy made landfall less than 50 miles to the south, West Windsor Township NJ crews were clearing roads to ensure public safety and access for police and other first responders. Pictured is a crew removing a felled tree that blocked an intersection. The wind raged as the crew hurried to remobe the obstacle and move on to the next hazard.
