neighbors house

My dad got hit pretty bad. House had 4 foot of water inside his deck is gone with no trace of where it's at. The monte Carlo he has got flooded out along with a boat hitting it and busting through the bathroom wall
Little egg harbor,nj



Idk who else saw this I came across it online. Sandy destroyed a town( in ny i believe it was) and this was left standing

[Jersey Mike]

Oakland, NJ. These two houses neighbor each other. Because of where we live, I assume these families were home when this happened...

[sweetbmxrider]

My family was very lucky through all of this and we suffered no serious losses. We are still under generator power and are just going day by day. Internet is slow so little by little I am getting photos up. Bay Head and South is just a war zone. National Guard is checking id's and there are still dealing with gas leaks and severe infrastructure damage throughout the towns. Homes are gone as well as some of the residents. It will never be the same in those towns.

This very large oak tree nearly took out my parents' house.



Broadway Ave in Point Pleasant Beach





Shark River Park in Belmar







9th Ave Pier



On main street in Belmar looking East







One of the many Bathhouses at the beach.













All of the lakes are overflowed. You should be able to walk out to that gazebo on grass.



Was a street next to the lake.











Over the bridge from Belmar to Avon-by-the-Sea



Notice the Shark River Inlet is missing a tower. Also the fishing club pier is still standing, that will never go down!



The power wire kept this from washing down the street I'm sure.



Another lake in Avon-by-the-Sea.



A Marina by the Route 35 bridge.



Will do another post with more photos after the rest upload.

My goodness

[greenformula92]

Adam those are some crazy pictures. Did you stay in point beach?

[sweetbmxrider]

I was in Belmar with Taylor till about 730 when the shark river came over our first step and the garage began filling along with the basement. We took my jeep and his tbss to oceanport seeking refuge at his parents' home. Along the way, we encountered high winds, downed trees, no power, skies lit by transformers blowing, and insane water crossings. The tbss fell victim to one but Taylor says its up and running again, thank goodness. We couldn't make it to his parents' so we turned around and stayed in kmart's parking lot in Wall till about 2 am. We headed back to the house and the water was gone from the street. Slept there and then I have been at my parents' home in Brick since.

we looked at it there but can only tell it seems to still be mostly intact, just not sure if the interior or walls are washed out.

[sweetbmxrider]

We headed west about two blocks into Avon to check on Taylor's grandma's home which was fine.

Yea, Taylor and I were down there yesterday, they have cops at the entrances.

Asked us if our generator was stolen and if we wanted some hot chocolate.

I'm assuming that's part of the boardwalk on Baltimore Ave







Mini Golf at the South end of the Point boardwalk



Looking North up the boardwalk



Half of Martell's is missing



A small river running down the beach. The beach is much larger and filled with random debris.



From someone's kitchen sink



I have never seen these before. I am assuming they were displaced by Sandy.



Not an uncommon sight.



Mini Golf hut from the beach side





The original pilings from 1929. These haven't been seen in some time.



No sign of a pool but a small building on its side.



Part of the White Sands.



There was a chain link fence here. The amount of force to bend the pole is something to think about.



Someone's home ruined.





Another home, ruined.





This home was protected after the deck was flipped completely upright. The owner was happy he was so fortunate especially seeing neighboring houses.





Look at the floor.



The concrete around the pool ripped away and moved up some.



Search and Rescue "X"



Porch wiped out.





Some of the beautiful homes on Beacon Lane faired better with their high dunes.







"HEATED AIR" amongst the beach debris from a local motel.















Amazing how some items remained perfectly positioned amongst the destruction of the structure.



So much sand displaced.







I have never seen these rocks before.



The paint lines and the people standing there tell you how much sand is missing.



Standing on 35 North looking down Beacon Lane



Someone's frying pan amongst the debris



The waterline next to route 35



Someone's skim board next to 35 north.

[BonzoHansen]

Wow.

So was there water all the way up at the intersection in the last pic at mcdonalds?

[sweetbmxrider]

I personally didn't see it but there's definitely debris lines that would lead me to believe yes. That is the lowest area for the train tracks which stopped the water at the other streets. I was going to go into Mantaloking today but didn't have the heart to yet.

[maroman88]

wow at the point pleasnt houses up on the boardwalk... how was the very first house next to the aquarium? my FD guys always get that house

[greenformula92]

Adam I don't know how close you will be able to get as far as man to looking is concerned. I know its one of the hardest hit areas on the island. Also I have a lot of good memories on the beaches in the mantoloking section. It really does make me so sad to see what's left of that area. I still cannot believe that there is a whole section of land just gone. Sandy was one angry powerful bitch

[sweetbmxrider]

I help out with the police towing in the beach, bay head, and mantaloking and my boss had a couple calls in mantaloking already. I know I can get around there a little bit but I just don't know if I want to see it in person yet. They were hit hard along with every town south.

I didn't go up there but I had looked that way and it appeared ok. I'm sure water and sand got up that way but the boardwalk was intact so I assumed all was ok. I actually rented at 9 vetrini lane, house right behind the one you are talking about.

[WayFast84]

That was the best mini golf place ever. For some reason that's what hit me from those pictures.

ill try to get a few pics me and my girl took of a few areas and marinas in brick... Tuesday afternoon we were talking in waist deep water to go and inspect the damage at her sisters house (which is located on a lagoon) that faired pretty well with minimal damage. They were very lucky. many on their street not so much. try and get these pics up tonight or tomorrow... others are of Wherlan brothers marina in brick off princton ave... what a mess they have on their hands there. Again my girls fathers boat which was dry docked came within 3 inches of slipping off its blocks but again very lucky its still there with minimal damage...

[madness410]

wow those pictures from point pleasant beach are unreal. i worked there the past 2 years and lived there pretty much this past year. they were hard to look at especially since ive become so attached to the town.

Took a trip to visit my uncle down in Beach Haven, snapped some pics.

These are down at the end near Holgate

This house normally doesn't have sand near it



Old style cottages fared the worst

Again, there is never any sand normally here...


Ripped up concrete and gas lines




Pile of debris, weirdest crap was everywhere and on everything


And for Nickapedia.. a lost jetski


Ruined sidewalks and what not


Holgate is still shut down, as their missing houses...


These last few are leaving Beach Haven area






House full of sand


For Veteran's day


Apologies for the lousy camera work, I is le bad
