The public is invited to view this Sandy exhibit at the Monmouth County Historical Association at 70 Court Street in Freehold, NJ. They are open from Tuesday through Saturday 10-4 until October, 2018. Parking is easy.
The exhibit is impressive, with slide shows, videos, oral history recordings, scientific explanations, and special displays. About 15 Blogfinger images by Paul Goldfinger were chosen largely because of our work in Ocean Grove. Most were seen in a slide show organized by towns. Another feature used 6 of our photos of volunteers at the OG beachfront. (see below)
One of our images was used large, (see below) depicting a Neptune Comitteeman, Randy Bishop, comforting a resident of Shark River who had to put out most of her first floor furniture and belongings to the curb. The residents were upset in large part because scavengers were showing up to take some of their curbside belongings. We will show some of our Shark River images from November 1, 2012.

Ocean Grove was hit hard during Sandy losing most of our boardwalk and fishing pier. Bob Bowné photographed when Sandy carried away the Fishing Club and he took the most iconic image of that day. (link below)
These oceanfront Victorians took a beating but they survived as they probably did during many storms since the late 19th century. Ocean Grove was relatively lucky. It would be two years before the Boardwalk was partially rebuilt, and it is still not done. But you can’t hurry love:

Here’s a reminder from 2015 Blogfinger.
And a link to Bob Bowné’s iconic photograph from the day Sandy hit:

Says Jean around town: “Today’s nor’ easter is pretty intense. Walking on the Fishing Pier was challenging with gusts up to 60 mph. There was only one adventurous guy holding his own.
The phrase “Thar she blows” seemed to fit.
I was spitting out sand all the way home.”
KERMIT RUFFINS and his band of N’orleans musicians sound like they’ve been on Bourbon Street too long. But they do know something about what to do during a storm: have another “hurricane” and then pick up the tempo.
You can depend on me.

The crime scene yellow tape was still stretched across every entrance to the beach, and all the lifeguards were gone. There was no police presence. There was a lifeguard truck sitting near the temporary dunes designed to protect the boardwalk and Ocean Avenue. Someone at the beach office told me that the tape was to serve as a deterrent, but no one would stop anybody who wanted to be on the beach. There were some people who went under the tape and were enjoying a lovely evening. The surf was still rough, but not enough to be terrifying unless you decided to jump in the water; but no one did.
The decision about Monday would be made that morning.
