Just saw a blurb on FB (sorry, no link or anything else) that the fire in Seaside Heights boardwalk

is very suspicious and possibly arson. I believe ABC is covering this....

1. Sad as it is

My husband said the same thing when we were watching it yesterday after work. Such destruction.

2. I'm wondering if those new boards they put in had something flammable in them. Very sad..n/t

3. Don't know

But gird your loins - just read where Pallone is going to ask for some of the Sandy funds to rebuild the boardwalk in his district. The Republicants in this state are going to have a field day with that. Never mind the homeowners who are still suffering almost a year later. Tough one. Just glad no one was hurt physically yesterday.

4. Wouldn't insurance cover this?

Most properties are insured against fire. Hurricanes? Not so much. Especially in NJ.

5. You would think so

But tey can't carry that much. Land wise - NJ is teeny tiny. At the end of a nine month home buying endeavor - a lot of NJ - is now a flood zone. The insurance will kill you.
