hurricane sandy + rockaway beach
!hurricane sandy×!rockaway beach×
Boarders.Walked back over to...Boardwalkless.Where the boardwalk ends.Shifted and opened like a zipper.These big trucks were all over the place hauling sand.Better luck next cove.JFK bound.The cement supports are the only thing left. The boardwalk was all washed away here.In the midst of the all the chaos, nice to see people still surfing.#3 GO ROMNEY. OR NO USAWhat's left of the skate park.We walked in from the beach, hopped back in the car.The entire boardwalk was washed away except where the light pole is screwed in. Similarly...Absurd.These guys were using calling cards to get in touch with relatives overseas....this section of destroyed boardwalk still contained a working payphone.South near the waterline. Hard to get a sense of where you are without the boardwalk around as a reference.Sections of destroyed boardwalk stacked.Carting sand back to the beach one wheelbarrow at a time.Oh, Beach 113 Street. That's very helpful.Jeff on the move!Looking north.Far-as-the-eye-can-see gone. This wasn't a little boardwalk, either. It was 52 blocks long!...and then realized the entire boardwalk was gone.We parked to take a look at the beach and boardwalk...A few weeks after the storm...Big panels.
