Prince Harry tours storm-damaged NJ shore PRINCE Harry has toured two New Jersey shore communities devastated by Superstorm Sandy, which rocked the American east coast in October last year. He shook hands with emergency personnel and construction workers before spending the afternoon in New York City. There he attended events promoting tourism, entrepreneurism, philanthropy and even played a little baseball. In Seaside Heights New Jersey, where the MTV reality show "Jersey Shore" was made, Harry and his tour guide, Governor Chris Christie, also took part in a game of chance along the boardwalk. At a morning stop in Mantoloking, New Jersey, residents flew Union Jack flags. Christie showed the prince a spot where the sea had cut the town in half, taking out a bridge and houses. The channel has since been filled in. Every one of the wealthy town's 521 homes was damaged or destroyed. Scores remain as piles of rubble. This used to be a house? Harry asked at one barren spot. One handwritten sign read: "Prince Harry please come back when we're restored." The prince said he was impressed to see "everyone getting together and making things right." From Seaside Heights, the prince headed to New York City, where he climbed aboard a red double-decker bus with British Prime Minister David Cameron as part of a campaign to promote England as a tourist destination. Cameron, who spent the morning in Boston at a memorial to the marathon bombing victims, spoke to about 100 entrepreneurs at a Manhattan design studio. Later, the prince visited a baseball diamond in East Harlem, where a royal foundation is involved in a youth baseball program. In the evening, Harry was scheduled to attend a Manhattan fundraiser for the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, which does philanthropy in the name of the prince, his brother Prince William and sister-in-law, Kate. Before leaving the country, Prince Harry travels on Wednesday to Greenwich, Connecticut, to captain a polo team as part of the Sentebale Polo Cup. The prince began a weeklong visit to the US on May 9. New Jersey sustained about $37 billion worth of damage from the storm. Mantoloking and Seaside Heights took the worst pummelling by Sandy's storm surge. About 360,000 homes or apartment units in New Jersey were damaged.
