Sandy Takes Down Sign, Rips Through Morristown [Video]

The need for people to stay inside and out of harm's way hits home.

The call from officials to stay inside and out of harm's way hit home for Patch Editor John Dunphy when, while shooting video on Morris Street Monday night, the Raul's Empanadas Town sign was either hit by a branch, caught by the strong wind, something—one moment it was where it's supposed to be, the next moment it was airborne.

This reporter's first instinct: I wish I had kept the shot on the sign as it blew across the road and slammed into the side of the future Fatty's restaurant.

The second, saner instinct: It's time to get the hell inside.
