Deb

/ October 30, 2012Are you all ok? What a mess!! I’m amazed those houses right on the coast are standing!
Awe inspiring pics Deb!! Thanks for sharing!
Deb
/ October 30, 2012Hi Carrie!
Yes, we’re fine, most everyone on the island is, but there has been a lot of damage from the flooding. Some of those house you see set right on the beach, some are a bit further back behind dunes that the waves when over. On the other side is the sound, and when the wind came in from that side it pushed the sound onto the island…that’s when I got a lot of flooding, but no damage…thank God.
Thanks for asking sweetie! Hope you doing well. xx

/ October 30, 2012Awesome pictures! Glad you all did not suffer any major damage.
Deb
/ October 30, 2012It’s a real mess around here.
No damage here, but we almost got some in the bedroom. Hubby saved the day though!
ltpen315,barb
/ October 30, 2012Well, ya’ gotta’ keep him around for some reason!! Glad he was handy.
Deb
/ October 30, 2012Lol…yes, he is pretty darn handy! 🙂
writerwendyreid
/ October 30, 2012Glad to read that you are doing ok, despite all the flooding. Yikes…what a mess!
Deb
/ October 30, 2012We’re just fine…thanks Wendy! 🙂
Androgoth
/ October 30, 2012One can certainly get a better picture from this
fine array of photographs Deb, and what a mess
Hurricane Sandy has left 😦
I hope everything gets back to normal soon Deb 🙂

Deb
/ October 30, 2012It’s already showing signs of improvement. The sun was out today, but the wind was still blowing some, so it helped dry things up a little.
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 30, 2012That is good news Deb 🙂
Those photographs really
showed the strength of that
storm 😦 Glad you are okay 🙂
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 30, 2012Yes, we’re fine, my friend, but I must admit, it was quite rattling at the peak of the storm…it just hammered and hammered.
Mitch just told me he read that over 8.1 million people are out of power so far.
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 30, 2012Yes it was a very bad storm Deb
I just hope that the emergency workers
can restore the electricity sooner, as
it must be rather cold at the moment 😦
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 30, 2012For many it is. The storm was actually a combo of storm, which is what made it so bad. Back home I think we have snow from it.
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 30, 2012Yes the tropical and the cold air meeting makes
it a very bad storm, so hopefully everything will be sorted out quickly, mind you the transport networks and systems will take ages with that kind of damage 😦
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 30, 2012Yes, it was such a bad storm.
Going to hit the sack.
Hugs xxx
Androgoth
/ October 30, 2012Me too, next 😉 lol
Andro xxx
Deb
/ October 31, 2012Yes, but I’m sure you are up now, my friend!
You have an awesome day today…Have a Happy Halloween today!

/ October 30, 2012Reblogged this on My story to you.. and commented:
The devastation the hurricane is incredible, mother nature’s wrath in these photos say it all.
Deb
/ October 30, 2012She can be quite brutal!
andy1076
/ October 30, 2012Indeed, I hope by tomorrow it will have at least died down. So many people lost their homes and their way of life 😦
Deb
/ October 30, 2012It’s passed here, but is still pounding up north.
andy1076
/ October 30, 2012Yeah, Ontario’s getting hit dang hard right now.
Deb
/ October 31, 2012Is that where you are, Andy? I certainly hope you stay safe!
andy1076
/ October 31, 2012Oh no luckily I am in Vancouver, A couple of my friends are there though 😦
Deb
/ November 1, 2012Glad to hear that, Andy!
Check on your friends to see if they’re okay. It will make you all feel a little bit better.
shreejacob
/ October 30, 2012Glad you and your family are okay! I like that picture of the duck (?) swimming in all that water though…for some reason it’s like hope..
Deb
/ October 30, 2012We’re doing fine. Just a mess around here.
Thanks Shree! 🙂 xx
Lori DiNardi
/ October 30, 2012Those photos are emotion inducing. Glad you are okay. Stay safe. Hope the clean up goes quick and smooth.
Deb
/ October 30, 2012Clean up is always a drag. But the up side is we’re okay…thanks Lori. xx
prenin
/ October 30, 2012Glad you made it OK. The Pelican looks exhausted! 🙂
Hope the clean-up goes well, but the bridge looks like it’ll need some heavy work!!! 🙂
Love and hugs!
Prenin.
Deb
/ October 30, 2012I know, it was so cute though. 🙂
I don’t want to think about he clean up right now. I’m going to bed and work on that issue tomorrow, and the next day.
Thank you, Prenin, and for all your prayers too…up north still could use those prayers though.
Love and hugs xx
Tony McGurk
/ October 30, 2012I am amazed some of the beachfront houses are still standing. The photo of the pier shows how big the waves were. Glad you’s are all ok & not too much damage.
Deb
/ October 31, 2012The Avalon Pier was destroyed….here’s some Google photos of it
https://www.google.com/search?q=Avalon+Pier&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=5iiRUNqUELOt0AHekoGwBg&biw=1600&bih=758&sei=-CiRUODjKons0QGzx4AY
I would never want my house to be right on the beach around this place…no way.
I always wear slippers around the camper…always. But yesterday I took them off and felt some dampness under the table on the carpet. So hopefully, Mitch will be working at drying that out today.
Binky
/ October 31, 2012Not very good! Hopefully they might be able to fix the pier if what’s left isn’t structurally damaged too much.
Deb
/ October 31, 2012I have no idea what they’ll do about fixing that…I haven’t heard anything. But what I did learn is that their going to close part of Highway 12 down till right before Thanksgiving. That means we’ll have to take the ferry out of here when we’re ready to head back home soon.
Tony McGurk
/ November 5, 2012Wet carpet from flooding would be terrible. I suppose it would be hard to get rid of the musty smell
Deb
/ November 5, 2012Yes, it has to be taken out.
Angelia Sims
/ October 31, 2012Hang in there! I hope things get back to semi-normal soon. The photos were incredible.
Deb
/ October 31, 2012Thank you, Angelia, we’re okay. Minimal damage, but the people up in Canada are getting hit with it…not sure if it’s passed there just yet, but the these hurricanes always leave an aftermath.
Thanks Angelia! xx
Binky
/ October 31, 2012I’m glad you escaped the worst of it. Those pictures give a good idea of the flooding, but not the ferocity of the storm & the rain & the wind, I’m sure. Let’s hope it’s the last storm of the season!
Deb
/ October 31, 2012These photo are the aftermath of it. I’m going to get into the Island press later and look for some with the storm when it’s peaking.
I know you are in the path too, Binky!…Please keep yourself safe!
Tom (Aquatom1968)
/ October 31, 2012Terrible flooding, Deb. The images I saw of it on the news were bad… shows the power of nature!
Good to see that you are OK!
Deb
/ October 31, 2012Thank you, Tom…we’re all okay here….just a little wet.
beautifulchaos2
/ October 31, 2012I just realized yesterday that you were on the east coast and so wanted to come by and let you know i’m thinking of you and praying that the storm passes without doing any harm or damage to you and your family. I viewed your photos and they are so frightening! so much water and flooding, its sad that nature can be so destructive. Hoping you’ll be safe, dry and warm this halloween day dear Deb.
Hugs, Nikki
Deb
/ November 1, 2012Thank you, Nikki…we’re all okay here…Hope you had a nice Halloween!
saymber
/ October 31, 2012Wow Deb! Glad you and your place is ok – imagine there will be a lot of clean up. Hope all the neighbors pull together and help. That’s what happened here after we had a tornado rip through town last year. Working together really helps speed things up and bring a community closer.
Deb
/ November 1, 2012We’ll all all working together to get is cleaned up…thank you! 🙂
Krystiana
/ October 31, 2012Czytam komentarze i oglądam fotografie-dobrze,że u ciebie wszystko dobrze…..

/ October 31, 2012So many hurricanes in the US… You guys are not lucky!!!
But lucky to be alive I guess…
Take care, Deb!!! I’m so glad and relieved you’re fine.
Xoxo
Deb
/ November 1, 2012Yes, America does get it’s share of bad weather. We’re fine though, Princess, but we’ll have to take the ferry out of here when we go home since the only road out of here has been washed out…lots of damage.
xoxo
Valentine Logar
/ October 31, 2012Incredible pictures. So glad you made it through safely.
Deb

Novroz
/ November 1, 2012The image is quite scary. I was just about to ask you are you fine but everyone else here had asked the same. I am glad you and your family are alright.
Deb
/ November 1, 2012We’re doing fine…thank you! We’ll have to take the ferry off the island when we go home soon because the road is washed out again.

Wendell A. Brown
/ November 1, 2012Well we got a real taste of it in new jersey down along our whole shore, and lots of other terrible things!
Wendell A. Brown
/ November 1, 2012We were blessed we are in south jersey but closer to Delaware it was bad and across the bridge in Philadephia, it was bad. But we will all recover, not quickly but they will! Thanks for sharing Deb, have a wonderful weekend!
Carol King
/ November 12, 2012Wow, you guys got hit hard too. Glad you are ok!
