HOBOKEN — Two days after Sandy’s powerful storm surge inundated the PATH system, Tom O’Neill found himself in a police boat, navigating inside the dark, flooded rail tunnel serving Hoboken.

The intake valve for the tunnel’s main sump pump, clogged by flood debris, was covered by at least a dozen feet of water and impossible to reach.

The back-up pump, which could only be turned on manually, was also submerged in the black water.

Not only that but the shore communities and businesse are hit real bad. What do you do with houses move off their foundations to a new location?
