I will never forget the frantic calls coming through as water rose. People went up to 2nd floor and the roof and were trapped. Power lines went down so the FD could get them out. One family was literally swept away as a wave went into their house and pulled them out. The husband and daughter died. The wife was found floating on some debris. Houses were reduced to rubble. All this in walking distance from my house.
I always said the only thing I want before I die is a house on the water. Sandy made me reconsider.

Thats terrible....
The white house shown was my grandparents (disregard the date stamp).
The infamous Seaside Heights boardwalk which is only a few miles from my granparents house
The house up to its roof was where my parents go fishing up in upstate NY
