This weekend I may be down in that area with the National Guard. I learned that we just got 5 or 6 new cab-over 18 wheeler tractors this week. And I believe we may be doing all types of equipment and material drops. I just doubt I'll have time to take any pictures.

Yeah if you know where you'll end up, let me know.

I went out with a couple friends to check out the damage and try to clean up the bay a bit by grabbing what we could, or putting it on shore. We launched in Waretown, and headed up along the mainland to Mantoloking and cut over to the barrier island side, and came along south until the inlet. The mainland was not hit nearly as hard, and the main damage was to the older, lower lying areas with low bulkheads or to bayfront property. The damage on the barrier island side was much more localized, with most of Seaside Park and other areas flooded but not completely destroyed like areas of Ortley and Mantoloking (this is from a bay point of view, not along the ocean).
If you look, you can recognize a lot of the pictures that Adam has posted in mine, just from another angle. The entire album (waterproof camera means nowhere near the quality of Adam's pictures) can be found here http://s6.beta.photobucket.com/user/...%20the%20Shore http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1170.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1178.jpg Below is where the floating house used to be. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1176.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1177.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1166.jpg Mantoloking Bridge http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1163.jpg Other side of the bridge http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1161.jpg Other areas fared slightly better http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y21...e/100_1158.jpg The house below has been here in the middle of the bay for years.

Thanks for sharing Nick. I was wondering how the house in the middle of the bay made out. I can't believe its still there.
|
There was FEMA or State Police, or some uniformed people walking around the house when we went by. I've never seen people there.
|
The shack is gone, 25 years of wondering when it would be torn down, and its finally gone. Weird.
|
I've been wondering about going down and helping with clean up. Wasn't sure if there was any real method of going about it. I am certainly open to volunteering a bit at the shore, however its so bad in some places I just figure I'd be getting in the way.

2 feet on a vette is like up to the windows! that sucks man, was a nice color too

That's a shame. Just curious. Did you father-in-law buy it new or used? My FIL had the exact model, same color,etc and put almost no miles on the thing when he had it on lease. Would be interesting/sad if it was the same car. He took such good care of it.

Supposedly they aren't letting you buy them back.
|
The only salvage value they have is the body panels & glass. I wouldnt want anything else.
