Hey everybody! Did you all survive? My whole family is O.K.,
although nobody has power, and we probably won’t for a week or two. Does anyone
have any bad stories? My total damages were a foot and a half of water in my
basement and a few hundred pounds of debris on my front lawn, as you can see.
Some of the stories I have heard about the Jersey Shore and New York City are
pretty shocking.
Do you all remember my first post? Well that gorgeous beach
I took those pictures on is now destroyed. The dunes are gone. All of dune
road, the road parallel to the Hampton Bays and Westhampton beaches is gone. I
never knew water and wind could do this much damage until I saw it with my own
eyes. My grandma’s house is on the water right across from Dune Road. I watched
for hours as thirty-foot waves crushed the land and poured into the bay. A lot
of landmarks have either burned down or washed away. So, keep those people in
your thoughts and prayers.
I have another food post coming up soon, as soon as power
comes back. I am writing this in a Starbucks with one hundred other people on
the slowest Wifi connection you can imagine—reminds me of the ancient dial up.
Everyone stay safe, and fill up with gas if you’re in the
area because pretty soon the gas stations will be empty.
Cheers,
Jack
