Watch Hurricane Sandy Hit Palmiero’s Wall, in Belle Harbor (the Rockaways), in New York City

Thanks to Michael G. Palmiero for the upload. Sorry for your losses, neighbor.


This brings back memories. Based on the light, it couldn’t have been more than 20 minutes after Sandy made landfall (i.e., 5:55 p.m.) and almost killed my 12-year-old on that same 100-year-old boardwalk, and but a few hours before she would sweep it away, at least the sections in Belle Harbor (including the section depicted here) and much of Rockaway Park.
