Sandy P car report...........all is well and dry.

We had a foot of water on the first level, ruined carpet, sheetrock, books, etc.

My daughter’s boyfriend not so lucky, 80 houses destroyed by fire on Breezy Point. His house was spared but car and house flooded.

Gents, this was a monumental event for our area.

I am very sad for the loss of life as they are now finding some old timers that were drowned in their homes.

My neighbors said that there was about 2' of water in the street and a 4' high wall of water rushed over the bulkhead and down the avenue and thru the yards of homes.

When I returned home this morning I was in awe as to the huge 18" diameter wood poles that were piled about, the cars that were moved askew or overturned, the trees uprooted and the roofs blown off. Miraculously, we never lost power.

I took the warnings seriously and a few people told me I was being over-reactive. I hope that this event will serve as a reminder to heed the warning when a flood alert or any other alert/warning has been issued.

Now it's time to rebuild. Good Luck and prayers to all that have been affected.
