40 degrees and 40 mph wind gusts. Drove to Sandy Hook to see the waves and coastal flooding. A machine gun bunker that used to be 200 ft from the wash several years ago has been claimed by the angry sea. This used to be a proving grounds for weaponry before they moved it to Aberdeen, Maryland. There are chunks of blasted metal and whole projectiles everywhere under the sand. No metal detectors allowed, here. The Navasink River behind Seabright is pushed back by the nor'easter and has come over the bulkheads. The tide, 3 ft above normal, can't go out. The houses across the river sit precariously above the waterline (one belongs to Bon Jovi). Seabright, sitting on a narrow isthmus, floods from the ocean, out front, and the river, behind. Draw bridge over Shark River Inlet, 8 ft jumbled rollers coming over the inlet rocks. I walked into the wind to get here for a mile on the boardwalk, having to lean forward to do so. And there were a few motorcycles and this guy with a home made roadster out for a cruise on Ocean Avenue.
