Cool overview. Thanks to Patch.

the amount of beach erosion is just amazing. it looks like the beach is half the size, if not smaller, than it was previously.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the videos. It's the first we have seen of our beloved Ocean City. The media thinks the world stops at Atlantic City. We are
truly blessed. The Icon Piers are still there. If anyone has 17th street , the helo stopped at 19th and picked up at 14th. Need to see Oceans 17. Thanks so much.

this is unbelievable....thanks

Sending prayers to of those in OC

thanks so much for posting...

Anybody have any news on 42nd and Asbury? Have to work until the weekend and just worried. Thanks. Beth

Good work overall. Lots of damage but it could have been worse. Need to extend the video to include the backbay area. Lots of people would like to see what's happening there.

Our hearts and prayers are going out to all of you in OCNJ. Hope to see this special, special place back on its feet again. The Mueller family from Pittsburgh, Pa. have spent fifty plus years loving you people and your values; and know the Lord will be with you every step of the way. Thank you and know you will have our continued prayers. Marie Mueller Maruco

anyone know if dollhouse row (wovern place) flooded ?

Thank you for posting these - and thanks to whomever chartered the helicopter. Stay safe.

Great work Doug. Anytime you need a flight let me know...If anyone needs still photos of this route Doug and I can probably provide these as well. Plan is to post the 400 still photos from the shoot as well.

thanks for the videos - and all the great work this week! If there are any of the back bay area, would love to see them

Can't give Doug and his group enough appreciation for all their hard work. It's the first good vids I've seen for the deep south end. Can't quite see our place at 56th/Asbury, but looking at all the other properties gives us great hope.......thx again.

This is great. Would love to see the rest of the back bay, especially between 14th and 18th streets in lagoons.

Doug, thank you. The video is excellent, Just like all of OC Patch's reporting as well as Patch in numerous other towns as well. Please know your work is sincerely appreciated!

Doug, top notch reporting throughout. Thank you for your hard work.

any news on the bay areas such as water way..

hey, can we figure a way for service trucks to not wait behind all the cars re entering Ocean City NJ....need them in, not waiting in traffic

Please contact us if you need any home repairs or need to rebuild. I myself am an Ocean City resident and we'd like to help get the community back on its feet.

Thanks SOO much for the aerial video showing 54th street - our house survives! We had no way of knowing and as we head up there we know a little of what to expect.

We have been vacationing in oc since 1995, thanks for the great videos and updates. We will see you in the summer. Stay safe!

Douglas Bergen YOU ROCK! Thanks for all the great video footage. We were so glad to be able to see our condo at Wild Dunes on 10th Street. After seeing this video I think we were spared compared to some other communities in NJ. Thank you too to the Patch for posting the videos. We really appreciate all the pictures and videos. Good Luck to everyone on the cleanup. God Bless!

Just put up about 160 aerial photos of the island taken this morning. Go to www.oceancitybeachfrontrental.com and click on the links that say Hurricane Sandy 1 and Hurricane Sandy 2. These are the still photos that go with the videos and include the missing segment around 17th St.

Doug, this is amazing footage. Thank you!

Thanks for the footage! Our family has been vacationing in OC since 1915 and were worried sick about everyone there. God bless all the residents and those involved in the clean up. We'll see you in the summer!

Amazing! Thank you so much!! Does anyone know how the Gardens did? We are on East Station by the corner at Battersea.....just wondering.....hoping our Yellow House is ok!

Thank you so much for keeping us informed! The videos are great! My thoughts and prayers are with all the residents and businesses of OC. I have only been a part of this lovely island for 1 and a half years and already seen 2 hurricanes! I hope this is the last for the next hundred years or more! I always look to the patch for all the info! Without you I would be lost. Thank you again! Keep the inof and photos coming.

We've been coming here since 1988 and consider this our second home. Although the damage seen is overwhelming, I'm glad no one died. Things are just things and can be rebuilt. We look forward to coming down again next season.

Doug, Thank you for the great video. You would think from the news media that the only Ocean City in distress was in MD. Finally saw my fun area--58th St. and Central.
Great job well done.

Minimal damage to business district..come visit Asbury avenue...

Does anyone know how 22nd and Asbury is doing?

Thank you for taking the time to show. - So valuable help.

Been in OC every summer since '62, parents were vacationing here before that. Thanks so much for all the pix & information, heart goes out to all there. Hope to contribute to the restoration of this beautiful place.

DOUG for mayor

Just had the dogs out. The sand barrier that the city put up at the beach entrance to 23rd street held. Walking west, I saw some porch and interior lights, but not on West, so they may not have power yet. Ran into a fellow who had a place on Simpson in the 20s, he also did not have power. There was a very large tree uprooted on the east side of West, the 2nd or third property in.

Thanks for this. My children and I vacationed in OCNJ for many years (where Cape Codders go for vacation!). It has a very special place in our hearts and family history. Hope you all are able to recover that special paradise you've shared with us for so many years.

Thank you Doug, the Kayes and The Patch for these videos and photos. Fantastic reporting throughout the entire storm.

Has anyone been down to 50th and West?. We have a house at 5013 and concerned for that end of the island. Hoping to get back in there later today/early tomorrow but if anyone has any updates/information it would put my families mind at ease.

Doug, just in case there was any doubt before about the importance and the relevance of The Patch, you have erased any of that. For many, The Patch provided the most up-to-date and most comprehensive reporting and images of the storm and ifs aftermath. I hope people appreciate your fine work and understand the need to support The Patch so that you can continue to provide this valuable service to our region and to Ocean City in particular. Great job!

Thank you so much for the update Jane.

wow. you guys did an amazing job! Thank you so much.

Thanks for update. Anyone know how Merion Park area is?

Has anyone seen 33 and west

I'm at 38th and central, if anyone is out of state and wants me to check on propert nearby email me address at cmcal@AOL.com and I will do my best.

Does anyone know if those that rent vs own their home are entitled to any disaster relief or is the responsibility soley on the landlord? Mag 7

I can not adequately express how valuable your coverage of Ocean City is, especially during times such as these. It is not only for the pertinent info but for my own piece of mind and ease of tension and anxiety that I am so very grateful. Even those words sound hallow compared to the gratitude and appreciation I feel in my heart. Thank you to all the kind, caring, compassionate residents posting reassuring photos and words of comfort to the discussion board. The uniqueness of our town and the beautiful spirit of our neighbors and fellow residents will always endure. Thank you Doug, for

I just received this update from one of the realtors in town. Hmmmm... :-/
"For the most part Ocean City fared well through the storm and most parts of the island have little or no real damage. However, the far south and north ends were hit hardest and have a minimum of debris and overwash issues and some actual property damage. We anticipate that the city will continue to restore full access to all parts of the island quickly and that the full clean up process will occur as quickly as well. We do not anticipate any lasting effects to our beautiful island or to our rental activities."

160 aerial photos of the island are available at www.oceancitybeachfrontrental.com and click on the links that say Hurricane Sandy 1 and Hurricane Sandy 2. These are the still photos that go with the videos and include the missing segment around 17th St.

Can anybody update me with the 4th street area? Right next the broad walk...Im concerned

Howard and Neil- I don't see 17th street photos either. Neil if they are there, perhaps you could post what pictures numbers. Thank you.

I was in OC yesterday to check out my home between 39th and 40th on West. No wind damage. I am on the second floor and all is OK, even had electricity. The first floor had water, but seems like only the carpet was damaged, no other apparent problems. But a word of warning, my downstairs neighbors had electricity but their circuit breakers popped. When I reset them, I heard a sizzling sound. They had an extension cord on the floor that apparently got wet. When I turned their power back on, the wet extension cord got really hot and if I was not there it may have started a fire. I unplugged everything. So if you had any water enter your home on the first floor, please check your extension cords and outlets.

What was amazing to me was the wonderful condition of almost all homes I drove past. Did not go into the lagoons or south of 40th, but other than debris and first floor water damage, we dodged a huge bullet.

And to add to the others - Doug and the Patch - you have been a lifeline.

Anybody know how Central Ave between 9th and 10th streets faired? Got a house in there. Have not been able to travel there to see.

For anybody interested, I received word that the middle of the 800 block of St James Place had a high water mark of second step - no water in first floor! I think most of our decks/front doors are about 4 steps up. GREAT relief. Wishing you all such good fortune.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire. OC community. Our most favorite vacation place in the world. Thank you to the Patch for doing a great job keeping us informed

Fogcity54-I went through the photos with the photographer and she didn't get 17th street as she was changing lenses. Sorry. By my memory things looked good despite some water still on the street.

Thanks Eric! Can't thank you enough.

I just want to apologize to the 2nd homeowners for all the terrible things I have said about them in the paast. We are all in this together and I have been so wrong and so ignorant so mean spirited. I am so sorry

Great footage! Thank you so much for all of the photos and news that you guys have been posting. I wish we had gotten to see from the Yacht Club to 4th street on the Bay side. :(
