SEND US YOUR PHOTOS: Hurricane Sandy
If you're safe, but have photos of the waves, the roads and the impact of the first hurricane to directly hit the Ocean City region, please upload them here
The effects of what could be the biggest story of our lives was captured by photographer Tom McKelvey, who caught these images of a small boat trying to navigate heavy surf off the Shark River Inlet Sunday afternoon.
We are looking for people to provide a service, and inform the readers about the effects of the first hurricane to directly strike the Jersey Shore in recorded history.

Talked to people who visited. Sand up to West apparently. Interestingly, apparently 58th & Central was not hit bad, although the dunes in the South are all gone. Look at video on Adam Joseph's facebook for surge at 53d and Central.

Carol in Florida
7:31 pm on Monday, October 29, 2012
Hi John... yes I was there in 62 for the "March Storm". I was eleven. Most of the south end was destroyed. We have bunches of photos of the devastation. Luckily, we always moved to town for the winter months and just had to hunker down and live with the power outage. Plymouth Inn still had power and fed a lot of people, or cooked their food for them before it went bad.
elaine Hannon
3:11 pm on Tuesday, October 30, 2012
My parents had a house in Merion Park during the 62 storm and did not get any water in it or any damage. Iwas in nurses training at the time. i have old movies of the boardwalk destruction during the early 40s hurricane. Has there been any damage to the boardwalk this time?
Karen
