Sandy’s already bearing down on the Jersey Shore – flooding started on Sunday morning. I’ve compiled a list of must-follow twitter accounts so you can track Sandy’s progress in real time.

I will not be down the shore for Sandy, but I will be Tweeting to share information from @byJenAMiller as long as I have power. If I get thrown into Twitter jail for Tweeting too much, as I did with Irene, I will start Tweeting from my former handle @jerseyshorejen.
