I didn't get a single run out of this thing. On Facebook last week I posted "Old Plan: Catch spectacular windsurfing conditions. New Plan: Board up house. While the house didn't need boarding up (the storm surge stopped rising 1" short of our living room) the crawlspace filled with six feet of salt water. The list of new things we need (furnace, duct work) is growing. But we're not complaining. No damage to the first or second floor. Nothing like the disasters that people in Queens and Staten Island and New Jersey had. We sat in the dark in downtown Manhattan, but were blocks away from the flooded streets and damaged buildings that others suffered. We are fortunate and grateful!
Cupsogue did get the new inlet Scott was warning about. I've often complained about the 4WD requirement to get to the Cupsogue break...now it will take a boat. (Thanks Jeff for the link!)
Michael, glad to hear you're okay. For those of us far from the (salty) coasts, it's hard to imagine all that devastation - the pics are almost unreal. For no good reason, I just didn't think of NY/NJ as vulnerable as places like the OBX or New Orleans. Another lesson in respect.

Very happy to hear you are ok. Once you start surfing again you may find the bottom has changed and has made some nice new epic breaks.
