What do you remember? My house shook, but had no significant damage or flooding. I recall the sights when we went down to the beachfront on the morning of October 30, 2012. People hesitatingly came down to see. We had seen the horrible images of places like Mantoloking on television, so we knew that we were lucky—lucky to not live on a barrier island.
Ocean Grove has some low areas, such as the southeast precinct where flooding occured, but much of the rest of the town had enough elevation to avoid water damage. A couple of days later a solitary surf fisherman came from out of town just to fish in Ocean Grove, a place that he loved.
Now, most of our boardwalk is complete except for the North End and the pier. We are better prepared now with dunes and bulkheads. The boardwalk was specially engineered to be extra strong. Many homeless victims who needed a place to stay came to the Grove. Some of them remained for quite a while, and there are probably some who are still around town. We cannot ever forget the volunteers who showed up, often with everything they needed including food and they gave and they asked for nothing in return.

Paul,
Shawn gives it his best to catch a striped bass. He was at the Manasquan Inlet when Hurricane Joaquin passed by..

Oh? Oh! Sorry Bob, I didn’t know you were talking about a striped bass fish. I’m thinking, “Bob knows I’m all about that bass—-no treble!”

Hi Paul….
It seemed that the moon was waxing last night…but the summer is waning!
Created this shot from the beach, with my tripod…. at the Ocean Avenue and Pitman Avenue.

Paul, Canvas up and frameless door openings mean its springtime in Ocean Grove….when the doors arrive I guess we are close to summer! Bob (Bowné )
Record breaking cold in February. Precipitation on Sunday will end at midnight after 1-2 inches snow, then sleet and freezing rain and then rain

Weatherman Rick Cuttrell says, “As we close the books on one of the all-time coldest months on record, March is coming in like a lion with wintery precipitation threats today, Tuesday night and then possibly a third on Thursday.” Emergenchy parking rules are in effect today.
Blogfinger photographers love to photograph snow, so even though you may be sick of the white stuff, we love good photography:

Lifeguard Stands—a mini-series by Bob Bowné #2

“Man Lights Cigarette” By Bob Bowné. September,2014 ©
Paul,
I was there at 8:00 am…weekday, north end on the other side of Convention Hall in Asbury Park. Beautiful day …no one to be seen anywhere.
But, as I walked down to shoot the empty life guard stand, I got a couple shots off and I hear slurred at me by a totally drunken “gentleman,”
“Hey..that’s my seat”
At which point he jumps up on the stand and repeatedly attempts to light the remnants of a cigarette in the full on, blustery NE wind.
I just kept shooting and laughing at the odds of that situation. I just LOVED the contortions.
Bob
