When I thought we had it tough. I saw people that lost much much more. Made me happy for what we have left.

Hey. We are alive and well....... We will rebuild and be back better than ever.

Frank,

Wow! And I REALLY loved that area of Long Island. We would enjoy taking the ferry to Seaside on Fire Island. Great seafood. Incredibly my niece's place on FI was damaged but not destroyed or moved. And they sit right behind the dunes on the south shore of FI.
Be well friend.

Our house is at 8' above mean high tide . I'm figuring the tide was at 10' above mean high tide.
Been there 33-4 year's. And we are at all times prepared for action. Especially this time of year. It's a long story . The short is that we came home to get my wife that was working at home on Monday.My son's raised up pick up just barely go us to the house.In fact it injested water. We came home when the tide was supposed to be going down. As you can see.....yea that was the low tide. The tide just came up from there. And we had to stay. Bad timing. And we never trust the water.
Hey it happened. And we are safe. But displaced (me especially). Plenty of other people made out much worse.

Dom, On a clear day the Fire Island lighthouse can be easily seen in the photo on the open bay.

Best of luck and good wishes to you, Frank,
and all those in Sandy's path.

Day 8 still no power, cell service came back on yesterday. Power at my job came back on at 5:36 tonight so tomorrow will be my first day back to work since last Monday. We had work at various job sites but all were cancelled. Gas is getting easier to find since a lot of other towns got their power back. Only good thing being off for a week I pretty much got all the mess cleaned up. Even got the leaves raked up. Maybe like Big John said in another post well get power back for the next storm headed our way for Wednesday.

Also Kevin I forgot to thank you for suggestion on the ZR-1 tanker too! things were a little hectic last week sorry...jim
