Sandy Concerns?

Pics taken yesterday during the morning high tide.

I kept the boat in the water on the South Shore of middle Suffolk County during this event. We experienced winds over 85mph and a surge of over 6 feet. We were more fortunate than those on the South Shore of western Suffolk and Nassau County where they expereinced the same wind but a surge greater than 10 feet. Quite a few of my friends there had hauled their boats only to have them washed off their stands or knocked off by other freefloating boats. They are waiting to hear from their insurance companies to see if they have total losses or not. They think they do. I'm not sure what the right thing to do to prepare for this storm really was given the conditions but I got lucky and escaped with a boat that only needs to be washed clean of the dirty film on it. There's still 900,000 out of 1.1 million electric customers without power on Long Island and thousands of homes that are flooded. Quite a mess that's going to take some time to clean up. Some may feel the remnants of this storm for years to come.
 
We have friends in Somers Point and Wildwood NJ.
Our boat was hauled out on Friday and we're safe.
Rich and I took a ride to Wildwood and Somers Point today to assess the damage at our friend's houses and to see if our boat weathered the storm (she did!). We got to Wildwood around 11am only to find out that we couldn't get on the island til 2pm, so we headed to Somers Point. And this is minor compared to our neighbors to the north!
We took some pics and here they are...
