UPDATE: Rain has led workers to postpone the demolition of storm-damaged homes in the Jersey shore town that was hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy.
Workers are hoping the weather will cooperate as they prepare to demolish storm-damaged homes in the Jersey shore town that was hit hardest by Superstorm Sandy.
The first of 50 storm-wrecked houses in Mantoloking should be demolished on Wednesday, a day later than originally anticipated.
The lack of an air quality monitoring team prevented the tear-down of a house on Tuesday.
The house is near the Mantoloking Bridge, where the surge from the Oct. 29 storm cut a new channel from the ocean to the Barnegat Bay.
These home demolitions are just the latest in the area. Last week, crews tore down a home that Sandy swept into the Barnegat Bay.
