Hurricane Sandy/Frankenstorm

[JonEl]

Staten Island here, specifically midland beach, (posting from cell phone) it's pretty damn horrible here, houses collapsed down the block from me, I live right on a slight hill(my house and neighbor on each side) every other house on my block got hit bad and lost power, cars floated down a few block, most houses on the block have full basements and first floor, my house only got about knee high in my basement(where I live) had pumps going and bailing water out all night, finally stopped for a bit. We've never been hit this bad before, at one point there was people running up my block soaked asking for dry clothes, their houses were swallowed up in ten minutes they said. Had those big army trucks(the ones with that canvas top) going down hylan blvd, with cops on top calling people to get in.. It's really nuts over here. I don't know if you guys saw on the news in Clifton a tanker washed up on the island(prob on silive.com). If anyone wants to know about a specific block in SI ask me I've been in contact with many. Very thankful it wasn't worse.

SO sorry to hear it. My in-laws are on Beach Ave, one block from Hylan Blvd. Do you have any idea if that's flooded?

Stay safe New Yorkers. I've been thinking about you today.

My apartment is undamaged and electricity is working fine - thank God. Lots of damage in my neighborhood though. A house across the street was slammed by a large tree and part of the roof is gone. I also can't get in touch with any of my friends on Long Island. I guess that cell service must still be down.

It's "Gangnam" Style. And it's a dance to get sexy ladies, not a dance to bring rain .

My brother lives right on mill and new dorp and lost power but no flooding, I'd assume they're in a similar situation.

Not my pic, just sharing.

I actually filmed a scene in my first film where that ship landed.

Those pictures pretty much sums everything up.

Terrible, bodies are being stacked down the block from me on the school baseball field's bleachers.

Hoping that some disaster happened to him?

No, I would never think that way. Besides, I'm so over it!

Really? What happened?

There are already preachers blaming the hurricane on gay people. I'm so damn sick of that ****!
