Thanks Man.. Frank called me as I was puling out of the marina..  I figured I needed to check the camper also.  all good.  cleaned the leaves from the "Boats"

No problem Rod!!

[Bucktail]

With about a dozen people dead, I wouldn't exactly say it was more bark than bite.  But I know what you mean.  The shore definitely escaped with less damage than many were predicting.

Nice pics Frank.  Glad to see all the boats still afloat.  

Most of all, I'm happy to see the deck chairs made it through!

[Hotrod]

Yea. it wasn't just me worried. I see the whole BBC was concerned   Full tank.. let go

[Andys Delight]

Few limbs and trees down in Bridgewater. Lots of water. Power stayed on for me. Thankfully, not too bad considering what was predicted.

[TRSteve71]

Few trees and tons of leaves down here in Clifton. Inch of water in the basement, just open the drain and out it goes.

My GF in Blairstown is not so lucky. She has about 3-4 feet of water in her street and the water is still rising there. She is 50 yrds or so away from the Paulinskill River so when it floods the whole town floods.. They are also worried about the dam in town breaking too.. we'll see!

Glad everyone is ok!

Hello every one! Well it seems irene didnt like my area to much   we had roads flooded up to 7 feet! deep.   we had many many trees fall and snap wires in half.....Numours  wires are broken  we dont have power and i heard its the sub station that got flooded....it takes weeks to fix that...we were told no power for at least a week..

 My neighbors house was hit with a huge tree and tree limbs fell every where. there are no lights along hwy 36. and stores are open but no power in my area altho there are stores close that do have power.

We had a massive amount of rain that over whelmed the sewer systems.

  We will be sticking it out for as long as needed...we have a grill to cook on,a cooler full of drinks and some food.

 Im at the library now and i cant post pictures but i do have them and aS soon as i can ill post them.  

  Any way be safe my friends and always remember it could of been WAY worse.

    Till next time your friend,

Renegade made it through okay along with all others in Bob's Bay Marina except for a some damage to canvas left on. We chose to strip her naked.

The heavy rain on Sat and Sun AM has a small river running through my basement and out through the garage into the driveway.
Not unusual for this much rain.

But the wind yesterday on the back end of this storm kicked our ass all day. Lucky no trees down just alot of branches and leaves.

But the power went out at 4 pm and is still out.

[Pops Soul]

Hi guys I haven't had a chance to go throught this entire thread. We just got power back around 1 pm today the 29th been without since Sat at 10 pm. I have some pics to add of Shark River taken on Sunday. Hope everyone is doing OK

[Still Running]

8.16" of rain here in Jefferson. Lost power at 5am switched to gen power till 5pm when it came back on. Spent the whole night in the basement picking up water, but saved everything. All of the neighbors who spent the night sleeping lost everything in the basement.

[IrishAyes]

Hard work Rick, but it did pay off. 

[Hotrod]

Wow Rick.  who the hell could sleep that night

Phyllis Ann and Reeltime.. all cleaned up today. thanks to Greg  

Thank You Greg

Here are some shots of Shark River the Back bay These were all taken Sunday Morning near where Joey G Slips his Boat. Also caught this Ole Salt coming across the bay in his work boat maybe he was out checking his traps  Then one out fromt of the RT 35 bridge. I also have a couple shots of the Delaware down the road from my house, this is under Rt 1. The Big D is busy with a lot of landscaping going on reaaranging trees from up river

[Pops Soul]

Oh forgot a couple pics of my boat all comfy in her slip 

[IrishAyes]

Skip, a lot of the boats used the transient slips at the municipal marina to weather out the storm. The comm guy was probably there and was moving his boat back to his slip when you saw him. I saw a lot of the comms and charter boats that dock across from my marina tied up in the municipal marina Sunday. I guess they felt better secured there. First time I saw boats at the transient slips there.

Good to see you made out good with the storm. 

[Offshore Madness]
