VINELAND, N.J. -
One look at Rosie Roman's trailer at the Vineland Hills Trailer Park and you can see it was literally cut in two by a gigantic falling tree Friday night.
"Horrifying, it's horrifying," she said.
Rosie escaped with her life, but suffered a broken leg.
"She was in there all alone and the tree just fell right down," says Rosie's niece Stephanie Roman. "Once I saw her house, I'm amazed she's alive right now."
"She almost got killed in there," said Lucy Morales, whose home was also damaged.
Rosie was one of many survivors in this community off Northeast Boulevard in Vineland. Three days after the storm and everywhere you looked was destruction and devastation. Homes crushed, cars demolished. Mother Nature left her mark on this tight knit neighborhood, still without power and without much help.
"Nobody has been out here to help us or nothing," Roman said.
"We're like in the desert, we don't have any help. No food, no water , no electricity. Nothing," Morales added.
"We actually had to cut her out of the house," said Ron Roedell. His trailer was struck by a huge tree, he and his three grand children escaped, but Ron was more concerned for his neighbors. Like the elderly woman he and a friend rescued from this demolished home.
"There's probably about 8 people that are absolutely homeless here and we're not receiving any help whatsoever," Roedell said.
Power is still out in New
Jersey for more than 96,000 customers. A breakdown of
the counties with the most outages shows Atlantic and Cumberland are the hardest hit with more than
73,000 customers out of power in just those two combined.
As a small cleanup crew got to work Monday in Vineland, neighbors across this trailer park were upset. There's no power, some have no water and they see temperatures in the mid-90s for the rest of the week.
"It's horrible, we're still in danger," Morales said. "There's a tree on the wires and the pole is about to fall on my house.
