Hurricane Sandy

The eye of the storm went right over us about 6:00 Monday evening. We live a 1/2 block from the Delaware Bay. Looking at a map, we're right where the Cape May-Lewes Ferry comes in, at the very bottom of New Jersey.
About 4:00-5:00 pm, on Monday, it was at it's worst. The wind at that point was out of the NW, which is right off of the bay. We walked to the beach, though we had to walk backwards because the rain hurt our faces. We also had to lean into it to stay up. I have a hand-held wind speed gauge. I saw 40-50 mph earlier in the day. I saw about 56-59 before it stopped reading, at the peak. I'm guessing it was about 70 mph.
Surprisingly, there was very little damage in our area. We expected to lose power, but not even that occured right where we are. We did lose our cable/internet for a while.
However, only about 8 miles north, several houses were severly damaged, and one is gone.

Over on the ocean side of the peninsula, they had a lot of flooding. There was a full moon Monday, which made it worse. Yesterday, they weren't letting people into the communities over there.
We went out for dinner last night, it was a party atmosphere in the restaurant. Everyone was relieving the stress.
