The power is back on. My family and our house are unharmed. MON TIKI is unharmed. All things considered, damage to our town is minimal. This afternoon, trick-or-treating took place downtown as usual. Our thanks to you who expressed concern for MON TIKI’s well-being. Loss or serious damage to her would have been a terrible blow. Our hearts go out to our neighbors up island, in New York City, in Connecticut ,and in New Jersey.
UPDATE:
My wife has just come in to tell me that a rumor of a woman gone missing during the storm has been confirmed. Her body has been found on Georgica beach in East Hampton. She was an aid at our local elementary school.
I am sincerely happy for you that your boat is ok.
I can’t imagine how stressful the past few days have been for you.Report
Glad to hear you are all ok.Report
Great news!Report
It is good to hear that you, your family and your boat are okay, but it is quite sad that you have lost a member of your community.Report
It is a startling, sad thing to learn; and in a small town like Montauk it hurts, even though our family didn’t know her.Report
Does anyone know how Montauk Shores Mobile Home Condo fared? We cannot get hold of anyone as of yet.Report
One of my daughter’s school mates lives down there and I’ve seen her father twice since the storm. No mention of anything from him, but then he’s a good natured man of few words. Driving by I saw no signs of extreme damage, but next time I’m out I’ll take a closer look and get back to you.Report
So glad to hear that things are returning to normal. We vacation at the Royal Atlantic every October and were very worried about the town. The recovery in Connecticut is also making great progress.Report
Good to hear that!
I just want to ask you a simple question.
I and my friends want to visit Montauk seashore, may be next weekend.
How is the sea shore right now? is it all messed up by hurricane Sandy?Report
There are a few places with some pretty bad erosion, but mostly the beaches are in pretty good shape. Some places even have *more* sand than usual for this time of year.
There is more debris on the beaches, good or bad, depending on your point of view. Some places the seaweed is piled high, but then other places there’s lot of interesting driftwood and other beach combing finds.Report
Hello..does anyone know how our beloved Shagwong Point Beach weathered Hurricane Sandy?
The erosion this year was pretty bad & we hope there will be some beachfront left to enjoy next
summer….any news & photos would be greatly appreciated. W e love Montauk & hope all there
are well….Report
It looks like there’s plenty of sand on the beach from the East Jetty all the way to Shagwong point. Overall and compared to our neighbors to the West, Montauk got off pretty easy. We’ll see you next Summer!Report
