If I am correct, picture 41 is not near Seaside Heights. This is what was lovingly known as Hankins Island, Charlie Hankins built his home originally on this island, then sold it. House was moved up the bay and a new one was built. This would be more near Ocean Beach that Seaside. I do remember once when the ocean touched the bay in Lavallette….. My condolences goes out to those that lost loved ones, and my prayers go to those that are now in the rebuilding stage.

PHOTO #48 Between 1955 & 1978 my family lived 3 houses to the north (right) of the Mantoloking Bridge in the center strip (Ocean Blvd. and 1123 Barnegat Lane)… the one house that is surrounded by water… belonged to a relative of the Brecht shampoo people…Billy Brecht is/was a childhood friend of mine… I sailed out of Mantoloking Yacht Club… Duck Boats, 15-ft Sneak Boxes, and E-Sloops. This is a real sad sight to see… I hope all of the lovely people made it through… likely as this storm was past the crowded summer season…Our house was torn down in 2000 and the house on the north side (right) of the north new inlet is where we were… so it appears that the replacement survived (lucky)… but there is a new Mantoloking Inlet … this will be very expensive to repair… need lots of concrete bulkheading to protect the new bridge built in 2005 replacing the 1938 version… WOW … I think this was the worst land destruction … no other pictures showed cuts to the ocean (at least in this wonderful collection) … however, not as bad as the 130 houses that burned nease NYC, but this is the might of the ocean… I’m curious why the cut occured there…. My guess is the bridge backed up the water with debre and the water found an easier way out to the ocean and so the cut and destruction began… Water is interesting… a little pressure here and there over a long time and man made stuff yields and is swept away…

Are you kidding me? Screw you any your power… At least yor house didn’t get washed away. Can your small MTV munching brain even fathom how much work it is to string a new power grid across three states? Maybe you should hope Obama will save you and stay in your dark ass house. I bet you didn’t even fill up ur car and get ice before this hit. God bless NJ and screw you and snookie!

Terrible devastation sorry to see all this and saying lots prayers for you guys and girls in NYC and the afflicted surrounds. Was thinking two weeks ago to come visit New York but then decided not too.
South Africa is still the safest place in terms of weather, but we live in fear most times here. Rather fear than storms
Holding thumbs

Thanks for commenting, Joe. This is a Coast Guard photo from yesterday and we haven’t been able to pin down the exact location at this point. The caption has been updated to reflect this change.

Vicious ocean storms are nothing new. Look into the Grote Mandrenke which reshaped the coastline of Western Europe and killed tens of thousands. If that exact storm replayed now, it would be taken as evidence of “climate change,” but what it would really evidence is a chaotic, nonlinear system that kicks out an unbelievably strong storm from time to time. The U.S. is currently experiencing the longest stretch of days between major landfalling hurricanes. The last one to strike U.S. shores was Wilma, in 2005.

Wilma was not the last major Hurricane to hit the U.S. – Please remember these Hurrianes
2007 Humberto – TX, LA / 2008 Dolly – TX / 2008 Gustav – LA / 2008 Ike – TX, LA / 2011 Irene – NC.
