Frankenstorm Sandy

Wow, you poor guys in the way of Sandy, copped a hammering. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sandy resulted in the fourth largest power outage in New Hampshire history....and yet, nothing I have seen up here compares to what I am hearing come out of the New Jersey/New York area.

I drove around at lunch Tuesday and took a few pictures. So, these were all taken at high tide about 16 hrs after Sandy hit. Nothing like what New York or New Jersey saw...

This is a marsh behind Hampton Beach with a nuclear plant in the background. Typically, this is 90% land:

They used snow plows to clear the sand off the roads at Hampton Beach:

Hampton Beach seems to have held up pretty well. North Hampton beach didn't have any sand left....

Still pretty good wave action:
