Hurricane Sandy: The Aftermath (Ocean City, MD)

She came here, uninvited, angry and strong. Sandy wreked havoc across the Delmarva Penisula, massive flooding, trees down, and power outages. This is nothing compared to what the northeast is going through. Some places with up to 8 feet of water, electrial fires, power outages and subways down expected for several day.
Officals called this one of the most catostrophic storms to hit the mid Atlantic in years. 
Ocean City and some surrounding towns are very lucky. We can rebuild bridges and buildings but not lives.

 Beach erosion on 45th Street


 Our landmark Fishing Pier took a beating. Lost a good bit but its still standing.

 Fagers Island
 With winds gusting over 80 mph, high tide rising and a full moon, the gazebo, a landmark at Fagers Island couldnt withstand the power of the bay. The beautiful angel perched ontop did however.
