At one point HALF of the state was without power. There are/were also TWO refineries down in North Jersey. There just isn't infrastructure in place to get gas from other regions into the area (without causing issues elsewhere). The number one issue is a lack of power to pump the gas out of the tanks.
North Jersey got nailed with the storm surge just as NYC did. It just doesn't get as much press coverage.
