So the big storm hit us here, hard as fawk on the shore! The radio as I drove around last night said 70mph winds. I believe it!
The power company says it can be 2 days we are going without power. Fun stuff.
Enter: The Command Center. Created out of boredom and lack of action the following day after the storm.
I took to the streets in search of food..I found myself on the desolate remains of what used to be called "black rock turnpike". Somehow the WiFi outside of the local starbucks still functions even after the armageddon merely hours before! I unfolded my laptop to tell my tale of survival.
Here I sit, on whatever wifi the world has left
Myy journey the night before...
I hit the road last night to find out what was going on and to actually gauge how bad this storm was. I headed straight for the beach...what normally is a 5 minute drive ended up taking 45 minutes due to downed power lines and tree trunks littering the road system..i eventually found an odd route to get there....and as expected...i was the only one there. I headed to the highest point overlooking the beach...my jeep was literally rocking violently with the wind gusts..i got out to snap a couple pictures..but quickly got back inside after i realized the blowing rain was actually painful and my that my camera probably wouldnt take too well to 70mph misting..
the ocean (long island sound) was like being on the open sea...choppy as all hell. for any of you that have seen jurassic park...it was just like when the storm hit there
...i was not unlike dennis nedry navigating the desolate terrain with my aux lights gooing...haha (dramatization)
i headed home because the dangers of falling shit was getting worse, a couple people went to the hospital and someone actually died because of it last night..tree fell on his car while driving
i awoke the next morning to hit the road again out of boredom, and to see what happened
found out why i didnt have power.
i headed to the beach again
along the way
at the beach..i headed into the pavilion
the outside "deck" was all torn up, capsized boat on the shore
enjoy the beach.
by this time the wild animals had taken to the beach and were starting to swarm! i had to find shelter fast
the beach parking lot had been overtaken by the sand
those are my pictures for now..until power is restored i will probably wander farther....hopefully i will survive to tell my tale! until then, GODSPEED!
