More Of The Damage Caused By Hurricane Irene

These are the last of the Hurricane Irene photos

I went to the Post Office today and there were many more piles of peoples belongings and the piles were much higher than there were earlier

Yay!!! Services Are Restored

Our telephone, cable and internet services have been restored. Now is the time for me to get the rest of my photos and videos uploaded...so here they are:

This is a view from the front of our place and it was taken when the water had peaked to its highest level.

The next 2 photos are of what the flooded area looked like the very next afternoon. The photos are taken from the front of our place. Hard to believe that approximately 12 hours before this photo was taken, this area was completely flooded.

Veronica and I went out the day after the hurricane hit to see what damage it had left behind

This is the main road on the Outer Banks. This photo was taken in the late afternoon. It was very different not really seeing any vehicles on this road. This road is usually packed with tourists going here, there and everywhere.

Veronica's store sustained a bit of damage along the back side of the building

Here is the damage that one of the Food Lion stores sustained from the hurricane

A local trailer park

Damage sustained to Billys Seafood just up the street from us. They had all kinds of refrigeration units pulled out of the store and lined up in the parking lot

This is a view from the "point" You could see a built up line of debris and this picnic table was a new addition that had been washed ashore and landed where it is shown. If you didn't know any better, you would think that this table has been in this position and area for a long time.

This "point" is also an area where I walk on a daily basis. Now it is a place that I really have to keep a lookout for various types of snakes.

Still Awaiting The Return of Services

Our internet, phone and cable services are still down. Unfortunately we are dealing with Charter Communications to remedy the problem. Based on our previous dealings with them, it could be many moons until our service is restored. In the meantime Veronica and I decided to piggyback onto our local Staples internet hotspot.

So here I sit in our vehicle, with laptop on my lap...thus the name laptop and I will be trying to get this blog entry completed with the least amount of problems. Hopefully all will go well.
Below are some photos of what Veronica and I witnessed both during and after Hurricane Irene visited us.
The videos, which are really cool, will have to wait until our internet is back up and running at home.

I apologize for these photos not being in order. This is all I can get up tonight. I have more photos and videos that I will be posting, hopefully in the near future.

You can click on each image to get the larger version to show up.

All of these photos were taken from either our driveway, the front of our home or from our back deck.
