Here are some photos of flooding by my mom's home in Asbury Park, NJ from this past weekend. The above photo is from her roof, looking towards Loch Arbor, NJ. If the photo continued on the right, you'd see the Atlantic Ocean. The water is Deal Lake, and there's normally a road in front of those homes. My mom told me that she and my dad actually looked at the blueish home in the middle of the photo when they were looking to buy a house back in the late 60's.
The above photo is looking south and slightly west from my mom's roof. Again, there should be a road running in front of those homes...
This last photo is from the Asbury Park side of the Deal Lake bridge. Normally, there's about 5-10 feet of water under that bridge. Thankfully for my mom, the Asbury side of the lake had higher banks.
I know this is only a taste of what the people down in New Orleans and elsewhere have been experiencing, but it's enough, that's for sure...
NP: Out in Brace Commons, and it's pretty quiet...
