Because it’s so much, like three-quarters into the street I am waiting for the city to come and dispose of some of it. And then I’ll have to deal with the rest of it myself. Homeowners Insurance isn’t going to cover it. It’s going to be a struggle financially, but what can I do?
Sincerely,

“Do AC”
To me, one of the most striking pictures
is of the Seaside Heights roller coaster in
the ocean. What’s weird is that it seems
to be intact, but it’s sticking up out of
the Atlantic right by the coast. There’s
talk of leaving it that way as a tourist
attraction.
Love,Joe Fortunato

New York City
I was stuck in New York for several days and trying to find a taxi to Manhattan from Brooklyn was a nightmare. No one wanted to take me. When I finally got picked up my taxi drive told me that he’s never seen traffic like that before. Not even after 9/11. There were no traffic lights or street lights. He said driving at night was like Russian roulette. It was so scary.

Bradshaw’s Beach,New Jersey
Sadly you can see the first floor of Kent’s house took a beating at Bradshaw’s Beach. We all suffered power outages...at the least...and some of us really suffered the wrath of the storm. Hope everyone is good now and those affected the worst make it through this ordeal. Take Care.

Point Lookout Lido Fire Department
As my community was evacuated during the storm I was asked to
stay and respond to emergencies as I am a member of the fire
department. It was about 11:30 pm, one hour before high tide
when my crew and I stood at the highest point in town in the
middle of the street. Water was up to my waist and continuing
to rise. The street was black, empyy, eerie and the wind was rar-
ing. In the distance we saw an orange glow, well into the sky and
bright, intense flashing of all colors. The flashes were a power
plant that was exploding and had cut power to the enture is-
land, a population of over 50,000. The orange was the glow of
fire. An entire block of homes the next town over was burning
out of control. At this point the water was too deep for us to
respond. We wouldn;t even be able to make it out of town by
this point. It was surreal and devastating. The fact that we were
so close, less than five miles, but were completely helpless.
