Starting to clear up, more pictures from Hurricane Irene hitting the east coast.
My 'rents on Long Island are being told a few days until their power should be restored.

--------------------------------------
Simultaneously we're hearing that it was overblown and that damage is widespread... Those 2 aren't normally compatible. Outside of Philly the local creeks/brooks/streams became rivers around 10pm last night. Flooding is/was pretty widespread here. The actual rivers (Delaware, Schuylkill, Brandywine, Lehigh etc) in this area will probably be rising for the next few days as rainwater travels down from the mountains.
As of writing this there have been 11 confirmed deaths, some from drowning in a vehicle washed away while crossing an overflowing stream, others from falling branches/trees.

| Normally about a 10' drop from that wall to the beach below. No beach at all due to tide. |

| Normally a 15-20' gap between the bottom of this dock and the water surface |
 |
| Municipal boat launching ramp, those pilings are over 15' high. Usually a huge gap between the water edge and street. |

| Storm surge/High tide overcoming seawalls and encroaching onto front yards |
