 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 |
