Yup, I've seen Michigan, Louisianna, and Mississippi State Police along with the National Guard. In the photo above the Newark Police Mobile Precinct, there are two small street sweepers from some police department but I couldn't catch the name. Its basically a construction zone down there and nearly unrecognizable in some areas. They were driving in those huge steel bulkheads (don't know proper name) down by the bridge where the inlet formed. Lyman Street was the other inlet where you see the large drop off in the highway and the access road to the side. The house at the end of the street was originally on the beach front corner IIRC and now sits in the bay. So many homes are gone or destroyed beyond repair. I can't imagine what sits in the bay now with how much water came through to do the damage it did. I know Ortley was hit hard like this as well, I can't imagine what it looks like. I can only hope the towns recover and people return.
