Unbelievable footage on some of the national networks this morning as they toured NY harbor from the air, it looks like there wasn't a boat that survived inside that harbor. Every marina, every pier was gone and all the boats were up on shore, unbelievable how bad that storm was down there. That could have been us, how many marinas locally would have survived in that kind of storm surge, not many I would think?

Just going to make traffic worse on the SSP, and without those dunes protecting it, it makes no sense to rebuild it. They may be able to have 2 way traffic on the westbound side. |

When I was a kid Ocean Pkwy was lightly traveled...I lived near it and would hardly see anyone on it. Today, it is a different story, I imagine it is packed with cares.
My brother still lives on LI and sent me this real time map of power outages
LIPA Storm Center | Outage Map
He said it will be at least 10 days before he has power. It is day 3 and no one has fixed anything in his neighborhood yet, wires down everywhere. |

Sandy at the height of the surge around 9pm in West Haven Ct at the firehouse that I work at, which is 400' from Long Island Sound. Thank god the wind shifted as the storm struck New Jersey and pushed the last three hours of the tide back out of the Sound, we have handled about 400 calls since Monday. A firefighter was killed in Easton CT by a falling tree. We are actually lucky compared to some.

Not even close...
1. Most of Nap's was not redeveloped.
2. This was what you expect from a Cat 1, landfalling hurricane in S. New England.... a 1938-type event will be ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE worse than this....
3. Kevin: They weren't allowed to make those spots, if I recall they did it, paid a fine and left them.... but I might be wrong.... |

Perhaps... I'm not positive... but, they were left AND the owners were allowed to use them for the purpose that they were prohibited from making them for. (That makes sense to me at least) In other words, prohibited, fined and then allow them to use them for parking even though the creation of the parking space was prohibited makes zero sense. I know one owner made a cut for his giant bus size RV and tried that but was shut down because of Charlestown RV regs. I still don't see why they were not required to fill the cuts back in after they were sited and fined so that the damage was repaired and the cuts through the dunes did not allow water to push sand into the roads. Oh well. I complained to the town when they were doing the last one...  |
