PHOTOS: Wall Township Gets Ready For Hurricane Sandy

The gas stations are queued up several deep. Cases of bottled water are in short supply. Windows are being replaced by boards, or criss-crossed with tape.

Wall schools are closed Monday and Tuesday. A decision will be made Tuesday what happens, if anything, on Wednesday, according to the school district. The scheduled Meet the Candidates Night, scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed to Nov. 5.

Shelves in grocery stores and hardware stores are being emptied. At A&P on Route 35, water was in dangerously short supply, and other necessary items like toilet paper and eggs were flying off the shelves. The same goes for the Route 34 ShopRite, where the parking lot was so full, customers got a workout just getting to the doors.

There is a state of emergency, declared by both state and county governments. Some in neighboring towns are being evacuated. There is talk of 'catastrophic' coastal flooding.

But at the ShopRite on Route 35 and 18th avenue, a sign proudly declared that they were not sold out of water as late as early Sunday afternoon.

By 1:30 p.m., a worker was taking that down.

"We just sold out,'' he said.
