The tables and maps below include peak storm wind gust and storm total-rainfall reports gathered from a variety of sources, including National Weather Service, CoCoRaHS, and NJ Weather and Climate Network stations. Reports were evaluated by the ONJSC and only those that appear to be reasonable and in line with the general wind and rainfall patterns of the storm have been included.

# The anemometer mast at Harvey Cedars was blown over during the storm. Therefore, wind gusts exceeding the maximum listed value of 75 mph may have occurred.

* A post-storm examination of the wind observations at Seaside Heights resulted in the recognition of an incorrect setting in the station's data logger that resulted in consistent under reporting of wind speeds beginning with the installation of a new anemometer two weeks before Sandy. An adjustment factor has been applied to the storm maximum wind speed recorded at this station, resulting in an upgrade of the maximum gust from 71 mph to 91 mph.
