My office in Battery Park is underwater... well, at least the bottom part. Our offices are on the 26th floor. Hope everyone is safe and dry tonight and tomorrow.

My wife & stepdaughter just returned from a bus tour of the tourist zone , including Battery Park. They had to cut the trip short by a day & are glad to have had a way out of the area, but are now more interested in watching the news knowing that they just escaped the storm. Hopefully many locals took the advice to evacuate the low areas, but I think that's wishful thinking based on some of the news reports I've seen. You really have to appreciate what first responders do, especially for those who think they are tougher than mother nature.

The jersey shore took a beating; fortunately for me I am 60 miles inland. The bad part is that I was supposed to shoot a wedding saturday at the shore - based on what I've seen on the news my bride is going to have to scramble to find someplace else. The barrier island where the reception was supposed to be is basically under water right now.

things are ok here in providence. basically over now. the south coast took most of the beating and coastal flooding seems to have been the main issue due to the astronomical tides. 120k people without power in RI, but I got lucky and we never lost it. overall could have been much worse, and appears to be much worse a bit further south so hopefully folks are ok.

Totally devastated. The loss of power and damage to house will return and get fixed despite the large cost but the scenes above, first shot and many of the rest just destroyed by this awful storm. The most horrific winds I have ever experienced. Almost two hundred year old trees killed. One of the most beautiful spots, if not the most, I've ever seen every fall, killed. Devastated. Loved that view. There was nothing like it in the fall. These shots only show a bit of it and not the full effect where the sugar maples stuck out some giant thirty foot long branches and layers forming the most perfect brilliant arc of layered upon layer of color. My favorite spot, no matter what else they developed or destroyed there was always this wonderful spot.
If only the wind came for the normal direction it would have not smashed all the other special trees (or house). Damn east wind.
At least didn't smash through house or car with people as to a few others, very sad, terrible.

Shore is devastated and way inland and north the winds did terrible damage even more than one hundred miles from the eye. Very terrible. Beautiful areas destroyed. May not have power for days to weeks, but that is a minor trifle compared to the rest.
Now I read two killed a few towns over from me, many tens of miles inland and far north from landfall.

WoW and we thought we made it through this season clean. Nope ! I live on Hatteras Island NC......Sandy passed pretty far off shore......but man she was so big it took hours and hours to go by and the ocean was huge .....like 30 some feet off shore . Needless to say there are many breaches in the island and it will be a while till anyone gets off or on here. But then I wasn't planning on going anywhere ....so no worries. Great photo ops everywhere so tomorrow when the flood tide goes down I have do some exploring........before the long pain in the ass cleanup begins.
I wish anyone up the coast the best of luck.....NJ and NY City......man they got it really bad....and they aren't used to these things. We bounce back fast.....we get a lot of practice ......but man it will be a long time for NJ and NY to recover from this.....
Really scary, but enormous props and thanks to all those responsible for forcasting the magnitude and track of the storm so accurately, and as always, many thanks to all who responded once the storm was here, from public safety to power company workers putting their own safety on the line. Without all of them the potential for loss of life would be incalculable.

Storm much worse than even expected.
good luck to you all. the stuff we're seeing from the NJ shore looks really bad. i was there this summer for a wedding and this morning i turned on the t.v. and saw a road that i was on that basically got turned into a beach. it's crazy.

It wasn't meant as a joke, but rather how bad the situation is with the streets looking like canals from the pictures I've seen. Other then that don't really care what you think.
