Sunday, the storm is growing and getting closer |
sandy becomes a spectator sport |
low tide work on south beach |
low tide work to the north |
spectators galore |
spectator in the mist |
getting closer and closer |
more and more visitors |
Ralph has left the pier |
Monday morning storm is growing stronger |
fishing pier is surrounded |
power, power, power |
unrelenting waves |
waves are rolling up to the boardwalk |
now we wait |
lights and power are gone at 6:30 pm |
foam from the ocean, wind driven |
the storm surge is growing larger and deeper |
ocean takes a left turn down our block |
hoping the stop sign would work |
the ocean gets to our house |
Tuesday morning, viewing the front of our home |
Tuesday morning, surveying the damage |
found in front of our house |
walking toward the boardwalk |
concrete benches strewn down the block |
first glimpse of the boardwalk and fishing pier |
the boardwalk didn't fair to well |
fishing pier, about half gone |
benches tossed about |
feels like a roller coaster |
something about a " long walk off a short pier" |
skateboarders paradise |
ocean ave was now the beach |
heavy equipment was brought in to clean the sand, benches and planters |
ocean ave looks like a desert |
tilty turny |
some how it feels like everything will be ok |
pictures, pictures, pictures |
Shady Porch lost a shutter |
clearing ocean ave quickly |
someone's roof |
a flooded car |
lights and sand at the corner |
sand pushed back across the street |
benches clustered by he waves |
tim with half a sign |
wind damage south |
wind damage north |
basements are being emptied |
kids find a way to enjoy everything |
under the pier |
National Guard helicopter |
front side damage |
backside damage |
uprooted tree |
now this is real damage |
a roof fron two house down |
wall blown out by the water surge |
furniture blown through the doors |
80 year old homes don't stand a chance |
breakaway construction |
construction detail |
another casuality |
destroyed by wind and waves |
volunteers helping clear the debris and damage on the boardwalk |
clean out has started |
clean outs |
street after street |
blown away |
ok so what is a few doors and windows |
whats a basement amongst friends |
ok 5 million down the drain |
shattered remains |
