Photos: Eleven Days after Sandy in Long Beach

Boardwalk at Washington Boulevard.
Boardwalk at Washington Boulevard.
The cleanup and reconstruction of Long Beach continued Friday, eleven days after Hurricane Sandy slammed the city Oct. 29. Crews of all kinds, from communications to sewage to power utilities, could be seen working in all corners of town. Red Cross truckers were parked on street corners handing out donations. Industrial trucks were digging out mounds of sand on Oceanview. A water main break was under repair at West Park Avenue at National Boulevard. FEMA representatives were taking photos of damaged properties. And cranes picked up flood-damaged furniture, clothing and appliances that piled up on streets.   These were just some of the scene Patch photographers captured on the city streets Friday morning for this end-of-the-week photo gallery.

Should we bring a brown paper bag with us to hand over in the parking lot?

Long Beach Boulevard ramp is done too. You could drive a fire truck on it. Hope they fill in theRead More countersunk screw holes, otherwise they will fill with water and rot the wood. NYC learned that in Coney Island and Rockaway.

While I agree there seem to be problems in the LB school district, I'm not sure this takes intoRead More account the financial reasons for opting for NCCC. For many families finances, not academic performance dictates the college. I think a more meaningful number would be the percentage of graduating seniors attending ANY college.

The smart thing is going to NCC for two years and then transferring to a 4 yr school.. If they can'tRead More cut it at NCC, the parents save a ton of money. NCC is a pretty fine 2 yr school. You get out of it what you put in.

I am not knocking Nassau Community College, just the fact that our students are not getting theRead More education needed to earn advanced diplomas or to even reach state marks on exams. We are also near the bottom of those lists as well.

yes - by sheer coincidence, their employees work more overtime than ever before in their last 3Read More years of employment before retirement (as it so happens, their pension is based in part on their last 3 years of employment).

Bottom line re: LIRR is that people in suburbs who ride LIRR and Metro North are paying to subsidizeRead More the bankrupt NYC Subways and subsidize minority riders in the outer boros. Its the price we pay to not live in NYC. The subways charges a cheap fixed fare to subsidize low income NYC residents. Its a form of socialism.

Jack, racist much? Why don't you go have a tea party with the rest of the little Republican girls?
Eddie June 18, 2013 at 02:55 pm
Great photos, Richard. With joists like those, you could drive a firetruck up that thing!

The first one at LB Road, the second at National? or that's got to be one big ramp from LB Road toRead More National. Anyone proof read anymore ?

"Working" storm drains like the one between Regent & Greenway on Lido Blvd?
