Took me a bit to have it all soak in - no pun intended.

Pretty extensive damage in that strip - not surprising, given the insane location of those houses/development in the first place.

Just like the Gulf Coast - the first 1/4 mile from the land/gulf boundary suffers the most damage. Katrina damage was even greater than what you are seeing in this strip - along the Alabama/Mississippi Coast Line.

I spent a lot of time downloading (a real bear back then) hundreds and hundreds of megs to view the damage - before and after. Used 'side by side' (two monitors) comparison to see it - was pretty dramatic - just like this. I prefer the sidebyside method - rather than the 'transparent' layer method. Much quicker - both broad scale and micro - assessment possible.

As always - it's NOT the 'wind speed' causing the damage being seen here - this is SURGE DAMAGE. Moving Water is much more formidable.

Thanks, Due - good source of solid info.

Check this out! Google now has imagery of most of the Jersey Shore post-Sandy. This particular view is fascinating and shows the incredible power of the storm.

As linked, it shows the area near the Mantoloking Bridge prior to the storm at low tide. Move the slider labeled "Yonkers, NY to Hoffman Island, NY And South Amboy, NJ to Barnegat Light, NJ" all the way to the right and you'll see what it looks like now at high tide. Now move the slider labeled "Spring Lake to Harvey Cedars, NJ" to the right and you'll see what it looks like now at low tide. Based upon the shadows, the high tide imagery seems to have been taken in the early morning.
