Storm Pics Thread

drove up to my parents with my buddy mike. i had trouble getting to his house. there were 3 others just like it i already got past this one i couldnt. there were also 2 this size in a house to my left i didnt see until i had to turn around. got cable and internet back about an hour ago. heard the first train go by since sunday about 2 hours ago. my parents just got back their power an hour or so ago as well. my sister in LI is still without power.

This is what my normal route to work looks like:


The storm created a new inlet at the bridge, and the bridge is not stable at this point.

The national guard, bay head, and mantaloking police are using our headquarters as a command center



Cell service is extremely spotty, data coverage is almost nonexistant. Were being told a week - for power. The substation in point pleasant was destroyed.

Brian I txt you Randy's phone number and txt him your number.Just in case you didn't get it 717-989-0621 Randy postes on Dweb that he would bring you some gas.

Its too much to keep posting pics directly to the forum from my phone, when I have data, pictures will upload from my phone to my photobucket album

My girlfriends brother is the volunteer fire chief in Toms River and apparently Silverton is under marshal law. Shit is getting crazy.

Rt 35 in bay head.

Holy fuck!!!!! Brian if you get a chance and its safe can you get any pics of that new inlet at manatoking?

looks like a house took out a few power line poles. i went thru the next town over last night and there are still trees blocking roads and no one has power. I didnt realize but even just 5 houses down from me all the way into rye is without power still. What's even worse is this next storm that will hit Thursday. With all this mess who needs heavy rain and more wind?... looks like some snow in Tremont for Rovers on the Rocks.

I don't know if or when I'll be able to get down there. One of our detectives gave her slr camera to the National Guard and they took a bunch of pictures for us the morning after the storm.

Unreal

What's next, frogs or locusts?

Found a good aerial view of the mantaloking bridge inlet. I also added where my house is for reference.

I just saw this video that the Army Corp of Engineers posted, about filling in the Mantaloking inlet.

very kool. thanks for sharing

Took this about 10 minutes ago 2 blocks from my house:

damn man.. wth just from the rain?

Rain, wind and high tide. Whereas I wasn't in a flood zone previously, With the new maps released this week, I would need to raise my house 5 feet to comply with the new flood elevations. I misunderstood them originally, thinking I had to raise my house 10 feet. But the height is from sea level, not grade.

That sucks, so how is your house? Did the flooding damage your foundation?

Well, the front corner of my slab sunk about 1/4" due to the flooding. I wasn't previously in a flood zone, nor did I ever get an water near my house, so no flood insurance. Right now i'm hoping to get some money from FEMA towards fixing it, and im emptying out my retirement fund to hopefully cover the rest of the costs.

Well if you need hands we are here. Whatever you need let me know

There may be a demolition party in the near future. It might be more cost feasable to just tear it down, and drop a small modular.

I'm down. I did demo in high school. A sledge and a mask I'm good to go

2 Months later:


Good News: Natural gas lines have been replaced and pressurized, at least 50% of the island has power restored, and progress is still being made on water and sewer lines. I might be able to drive rt35 to work again after the new year. Which is good, because my 15 minute commute, has been 45 minutes since the storm.

Oof sorry to hear that
