| OK, bear with me. We have had a house on LBI for 40 years, and my dad told me that the island was 'closed' to oncoming traffic last weekend and probably this weekend due to flooding. Dad is getting a bit senile, so I don't know where he got this information,(house is only used during the summer months). Sometimes he just makes things up because of his Alzheimers. Is there any truth to the island being closed?? Our house is in BB, and I am concerned now that I should come down to check on it. Can someone comment on the island conditions today? Thanks View Answers |
