Looking past all the damage and loss of life these storms can really put on a show of mother nature.

Re: F Hurricanes...not the football team (but f them too)
 

Now we know why they call nature a 'mother'.

Good luck. Can they even get on the island or to their place? I've seen those pics from Kitty Hawk and know that stretch of beach very well. Someone sent us some pics and one was of Johns (the food shack around 4 mile marker) its still standing.

We're still without power. Didn't take any damage but the neighbors all have downed trees, missing shingles etc. plenty of food and firewood so we'll get through ok.

[QUOTE=BleedBurgundy;957136]I told my wife if she is born on Wednesday or whenever this thing hits, middle name might have to be Hurricane. Suffice to say, I've been assured that will not happen.[/QUOTE]

I wanted to name my daughter Jerry Garcia. Didnt happen.

I was in Miami for Andrew. The winds were 100 mph faster. But this thing came on shore in connection with a nor easter and the amount of water coming inland was unprecedented. My wife and her family are from seaside heights. Im from Toms River. Nobody can cross the bridge to see the damage yet. My father in laws house maybir may not be there. There were actually houses ramming bridges and there is a roller coaster in the ocean. Atlantic City boardwalk is totally gone. They could have prepared for months for this thing but short of draining the ocean temporarily there was nothing that could have been done. The ocean actually met the bay. Crazy crazy shit.

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;958840]Yeah they r good just no power[/QUOTE]

Good to hear. My parents have no power or water. Just heard from them this morning. Cannot believe some of the images im seeing. I will probably not have power for atleast a month.

That is Funtown pier - I have been going there since I was a kid, now I take / took my daughter there - still cannont wrap my head around the fact that it is in the Atlantic Ocean.
