WOW

Ray, I hope you don't mind if I share this on FB. Really brings home what the utilities are up against and why folks complaining about still being without power shouldn't be.

Its not mine, but no problem ;)

Also not sure if anyone saw this, but if nature was left to its own devices, this would probably be a new inlet in Mataloking:

One thing that's been curiously absent from any photos so far is the Atlantic City area around the main casino district (Taj Mahal, Resorts, etc). I'm wondering if there wasn't much damage there, or if, for some reason, nobody has been able to get near enough to the area to get some.

There wasn't much damage to the casinos themselves... I was able to drive through the casino district relatively okay Monday evening. In fact, most of those casinos and some areas to the north still had lights on. However, you could really only drive up and down Atlantic Ave and Pacific Ave, as the rest of the roads were pretty much impassible, especially on the northern end. Once you got more than a few blocks south of the Tropicana it was completely dark.

Thanks. I guess most folks shooting images were focusing on the damaged areas. I just thought, with the popularity of the casinos, something would have been mentioned about them.

It appears the absolute worst occurred starting north of ACY (north of Sandy's center). I know from what my in-laws told me about their place near Bethany beach DE it could have been a lot worse. That's not to say there wasn't flooding and erosion from ACY on south because there was. Looks like central Jersey, NYC, LI and coastal southern New England suffered the absolute worst (as advertised prior to landfall).

Yeah we were spared in Wildwood Crest. From what my aunt told me, the second set of dunes they added two summers ago took the brunt of the storm surge and the primary dunes were bearly touched. She also said the beach "might" have gotten smaller. Trust me I am very thankful that nothing happened where my house is. Luckily my house is dead center between the bay and the ocean so I feel even if we were on the north side we still would have been ok this time around.

Here are some pics from my course. We lost 5 trees. The one maple tree took out the power line, I don't have a picture of that.
