Hurricane Sandy

Here's some photos of the areas where some of my co-workers are from:

Crazy stuff.

My friend in Manhattan is still without power, and her cell phone battery is dying...

That last one is insane, Janz: looks just like the cars are going down a river! Bloody hell, I'd be scared silly if that happened over here. A little rain, a little flooding and we're all running, but we get nothing like that over here, thank god.

Hope everyone's ok. Thoughts are with the 80-plus people who died, and the probably thousands or more who are now homeless. This IS the 21st century, isn't it? Not the 11th?

So some of the historic Atlantic City Boardwalk was destroyed during the hurricane, and you can see how far the sand from the beach was pushed ashore:

I pray to GOD that all the people affected by Hurricane Sandy will be blessed and be able to find a home or have a home made for them.

Were you guys like this during Katrina?
Ike?
Rita?
Gustav?

Just wondering.

Well, Katrina was in Louisiana, Ike was in Texas, and the others I'm not sure but they weren't here. The last hurricane to hit NJ/NY was last year with Irene and we got some heavy rainfall which caused flooding but was isolated to just main rivers getting too high. There was no storm surge of this monumental proportion. We haven't seen anything like this in our history really. It's sad. The shore was kind of New Jersey's namesake. We lost a valuable and wonderful part of our culture. It's be like London losing Big Ben or San Fransisco losing the Golden Gate Bridge. Not to mention the loss of life...

Really just sucks.

No. I was much more devastated by Katrina.

I have a friend out in Mainland New Jersey who avoided the flooding, but he's still without power. I'm from the UK so I've only witnessed the devastation on the news, Here's hoping the clean up process doesn't take too long so people can get back to their currently halted lives

From looking at some of the pictures here and on the news, it surprises me just how many houses and building in the USA are built of wood.

There is surprising info about this man. You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
