So I've just got my internet back after being hit by hurricane Sandy. There's probably quite a few of you robots who were affected but I took some pictures and hopefully you guys will be interested in seeing them.

We had a similar thing January last year OP
Storm conditions became so bad in south-east Queensland, all along this one particular river the water rose SO GODDAMN HIGH
And up in the valley to our west huge storm torrents made rushing rivers out of streets.
Luckily where I live, we were up higher so our house wasn't affected by water, but 5 minutes down the road where all the local business was (grocery stores, fast food, pretty much every store in our suburb) was flooded by roughly 3-8 meters of water. Same deal all along the river at some points.
Here's a pic of the Ipswich suburb.

I've seen them on the south shore. People are lining up for empty stations.

This is right by the beach. It felt like it'd snowed, with everything literally plowed. Even the distribution along walkways and in the middle of streets felt the same.

Yeah man. We recovered fully in about a year, but still. It was pretty terrifying being so close to something that you have no control over. Something that could easily take everything you have. World's getting worse, I swear it.

Concrete > Storm Surges

Can't say the same for wood though. Or metal fixtures. Or houses. Or concrete that's not anchored in twenty feet.

Also the beach used to be another hundred feet from the edge of those concrete anchors.

These photos are really cool OP. This thread made me want to visit /p/ and see some of the stuff people post there. I'd never looked at /p/ before.

The first thread I saw was about a guy who found a dead cat in his back yard so he attached it to a giant pop tart and took pictures

Pretty deep stuff.

South Jersey, Cumberland county here. My friend works at wawa, and a bunch of north jersey and shore faggots drove all the way here to fill up like, 40 gas cans. We were completely unaffected. We've seriously had thunderstorms worse than Sandy. My family went out to the diner during it. Meanwhile, I hear the shore is just gone. It's become part of the Atlantic. AC boardwalk, gone. Cape May, gone. OC, devastation. The President was in Brigantine and met with Governor Fatwad over it.

The chairs on my patio didn't even tip over.

Hope you enjoy your new houseboats.

Hey op. Did any of your shit get wrecked or fucked up? Or are you out of the way of all that. Also how did you cope without internet?
