Sandy: Where Can Chathamites Go?

Several businesses have opened their doors for residents to get warm and charge their cell phones and electronics.

With schools closed and thousands of Chathamites still without power, some people may wonder where they can go to get warm and charge their various devices.

The Library of the Chathams is open Wednesday, and the doors of the Chatham Borough Fire Department's common room are open to residents.

Dr. Gerard Lorino said residents are welcome to come to his dental office at 287 Main St. in Chatham and charge their devices.

"We are lucky enough to have power in this part of the town but I am aware that most of the town has not been so fortunate. As a father of three, I know how frustrating that can be," Lorino said.

The dental office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.
