NJHurricane Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Shark river hills marina flattened. Boats on front yards. Belmar beach front destroyed. Largest section of boardwalk left is 30 feet. About 20 square blocks still under water. Wall twp looks like A war Zone. Trees on everything. Asbury park beach front survived. All my family down here ok. The pics I took don't do it justice. And to think this scene is repeated for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Can't imagine anything is left on the barrier islands south of me. Glad to hear family is ok....is convention hall still standing in Asbury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in NY and NJ. Just tremendous damage from NC to CT. My brothers beach house in Ocean City, Md is a total loss. Damage on such a huge scale is really unimaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dog has to piss and if the conditions are bad enough, you're not going to let your dog go out in the backyard by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 been out of power since 10pm last night...finally went out today towards Pauling, NY to a pizzeria. the areas around here are not bad, however about 65% of Danbury is without power and CLP is known to be super slow with their response. not sure when we will get power back on. but being without power is hardly anything to be concerned about when you compare what folks down the coast are dealing with. my heart goes out to you.

uofmiami Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Peak wind gust per my mom in Muttontown was 60 MPH last night. They are still on generator power and waiting for Cablevision services to come back, at which point I'll be able to remote into my weather station and retrieve data. Here in Great Neck, looks like only the business district of the Plaza has power N of the LIRR tracks. Everywhere else is in the dark it seems.

hooralph Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Just walked the UWS in a box around 94 to 81, along CPW and Riverside Drive. Can't stress enough again how lucky we are. Mostly relatively light tree damage. Some big ones down along CPW, but generally speaking it doesn't look like a disaster inside the Park. I'm sure there are plenty of trees down, but the Park will still look the same when they clean it up. Given that resources need to be put towards residential neighborhoods, it makes sense to keep it closed and delay opening it. Has to put the Marathon in question for the weekend for that reason alone. In walking the neighborhood, it was easier to see why I felt so little of the wind during the storm. We are about as sheltered as possible from a NE wind. The cross streets in Manhattan run ESE to WNW. We face south, and we are at the Western end of a long block, so any NE wind basically blows from behind us. My car was parked near CPW and 94th, exposed to the NE wind and a tree fell ten feet from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not an ob per se, but Rutgers New-Brunswick will be closed for the rest of the week. Reopens Monday. Water pumping system in New Brunswick failed and the water supply has been compromised. Telling students to go home if they have anywhere to go, otherwise they have cots in the rec centers.

Nikolai Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Rode out the storm in the WVillage where power went out like everywhere in Lower Manhattan. Surge was crazy, all the buildings along the water were flooded (was on Perry Street) and the water almost made it up to the next block. Further down it got all the way to Washington Street. If I had been on the West Side Highway--which was completely submerged--would've been waist-deep or more. Winds were 70-80MPH on the Hudson as well. Tons of tree damage down there, but not bad back up in Harlem, where power never went out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
