Massive Drainage Effort in Belmar, New Jersey in Sandy's Aftermath

Crews in Belmar are working around the clock to pump storm surge water out of two lakes and back into the ocean. Sandy brought destruction that the town of 5,900 people had never seen before, Mayor Matt Doherty told NBC 6’s Julia Bagg. “We’re pumping tens of thousands of gallons per minute out of the lake, but it’s so voluminous it’s going to take a while,” Doherty said.
