I took a ride around yesterday afternoon in S Jersey and didn't see much damage except for where the water had risen a bit high. Holgate got hammered, though, here is a view that was internet posted of the beach entrance.

Very cool pics guys its amazing that more people didn't have damage. Monty I wonder why your neighbor doesn't have that car in a garage? It looks too nice to keep outside.

Some great pics and videos there guys. Thanks for sharing. It looks like a lot of folks had the gumption to say FU to the hurricane. Good for you and glad not many died. In situations like this if we can't laugh we could end up losing everything so might as well grab a brew and hope for the best. Let's hope that was the worst one of the fall huricanes.

Further update on Holgate I found:


"Chunks of olden concrete, placed decades back, got deposited up high, where we drive the beach just after coming on. The Forsythe fencing with the informational material was lost. George seems to think the entrance can be fixed once some sand reforms nearby – offering a much needed source of material to push over the debris. Per visual inspection, Holgate once again bent but didn’t break."

Here's some Fin sent of the Willowbrook/Wayne area. I did a lot of driving for work yesterday and there were quite a few areas still in trouble or cleaning out. Anyone who lived by a river or even small stream had trouble from Irene.

Its incredible how lives are changed from one storm These people still have their homes, but they lost lots of their possessions. Drove around with my wife for a little, was very depressing, felt sorry for the people.
