Hurricane Isabel.... The Morning After
 

Let me first thank a very loud but reliable Coleman generator for letting me still get on OSO!!!:)

Typical debris in the yard.

Ohhhh now the not so good.

Crushed the roof about 6inches in two different places and punctured a small portion of the side of the house.

:(

It was a pretty good size one.

Well for what its worth,,,
 

Houses and material things can be repaired.. As long as your family is safe, you are well. Glad you are OK...

About 2 1/2 ft in diameter.

Thanks SinkorSwim,

But honestly, when this one hit, my mom who I had stay with me so she wasnt alone, headed right to the shelter/high school for about 6 hours till it past. Definitely scary I must say, I thought it was coming down on us.

Ouch. Looks like pretty hefty damage. Luckily that can all be repaired. Glad to hear you all made it through okay. It's a strange thing to go through something like that.

I should have got us out of there earlier, not smart on my part.

Especially when I saw this one close to the house swaying from side to side about 20ft when it was still light out.

Of course it's beautiful today, maybe I'll take the boat out(the little one that i have left)

Sorry, govt wont let us get a better view, maybe I should cut the big ones down anyway.

Next door neighbor that had a tree crush their little black car.

Same neighbor, peir got up rooted.

Solomons Island in the back ground, it's completely under water, pics coming soon

It's a lot like marrige, starts with a lot of blowing and in the end you end up losing your house.

Guy a couple doors down.

Ummmm, not always nice having a beach house.

Whole left side and front side was an awesome beach.

Glad you are OK!
 

My parents are on a generator at Carpenters Point MD, the tide is 12 over the 1st bank. They opened the locks on the susquehanna river and Port Deposit is flooded.:eek:

FountainCS thanks for cheering me up,

:D :D :D

And sometimes if the bi_ch is crazy enough you will lose more than your house.:(

No problem. I kept the boat and the dog, I think I won! The dog's better company anyways.

Good luck with everything...

:eek:

Where is that picture from????

Well I have to admit thank GOD it didn't hit here full force
It would would have tore some majot sh*t up mostly tree's torn out here in Philadelphia area roads were a mess at 5 am going to work most roads were closed due to down trees n power lines

Va. Bch, Va!! (Above)



:( This is Annapolis MD.....

At least Old Glory survived!:doggy:

I heard both Tim's restaurants got hit hard. Tim's one lost the dock and is flooded badly. Not sure about Tim's II but heard it was gone. Still not sure about that.???
I also heard the Marinas in Neabsco Creek took a big hit. E Z Cruise the hardest. Boats ashore, on the bottom sorta thing. A 50 footer came loose and wrecked havoc on everything else. If any OSOers in Northern VA/Southern MD need any help with their boats, don't hesitate to ask.

I guess Tim's II is OK

CRABMAN NEWS: "Tim's was trashed by ISABEL" Edition, September 19, 2003

ISABEL DAMAGED THE RIVERSHORE...BAD!
In spite of all of Tim's efforts throughout the night the Hurricane
trashed the Rivershore and it could be a couple of weeks before it will
reopened. Here is the damage I know about. The Pier is gone, Timbuck 2
is all but lost, the tiki bar is 3' lower and most of that area is gone,
the boardwalk that goes to oyster bar is way up in the parking lot, the
oyster bar is just "gone". The main building is also flooded and Tim
said the place looked like it was "alive" during the worst part of it as
it breathed and fought against the storm will all it had. Tim said he
will do whatever he can to get it back together for you all but until
then please do not go down to take a look because you may just be in the
way and possibly in danger from the debris.

ROAR AT THE SHORE WILL BE AT TIM'S II at FAIRVIEW BEACH
This years Roar at the Shore will be down at Tim's II because of damage
mentioned above. If you want to show Tim and the guys how much you care
about them and the Rivershore please join us at Tim's II next weekend
for the Annual End of the Season Party. Tim will be glad to see you and
I'm sure you want to offer him kind words of support. As always Guy and
Dave and Tommy will make us all feel very welcome and as always this
event is a "must see" event. Also we will still hold the "Miss
Rivershore" contest so if you are a cutie or know a cutie get signed up
or just come on down and try and win that $500.

CONTACT TIM THROUGH ME IF NEEDED
With the power gone and the place trashed who knows when they will get
an answer machine set up but please don't call unless you are one of the
repair people. I will let you know through the email and the Tim's site
as to what is going on and I will get Tim to get me pictures or I will
get and post some for you as soon as it is safe to do so.

If you've never seen a Pirate cry you are not looking at me right now.
My heart is broken for my friend and all of his hard work and my
thoughts and prayers go out to Tim. I hope you are all safe and well and
I'll keep posted as to what I know as I learn more.

For Tim and all the crew at the Rivershore thanks for the thoughts and
prayers and we will see you again at the Rivershore as soon as possible.

Glad your ok. We only had one little tree go down, neighbor had a good size one but it missed everything.

-Greg

My neighborhood sounded like a huge construction site today.

eMotiondriver--ditto

ShahMat--ahhhhh, i could have used ya:cool: got most of the stuff off of the roof and out of the yard, the rest is for the professionals.

Oh yeah, going to do a buyer beware for everyone. Called State Farm at 8am and about noon today they said they would have someone out shortly, well its almost 9pm so I know I wont hear from anyone till at least monday.


Ok, left the house, this is what we had to deal with, no lie, about a 1/4 of a mile of nothing but citizens cutting trees out of the way.

slowly cutting our way out

some thick chit

"please dont fall as we go under........... please dont fall as we go under"

actually we found a safe way to cut it down

of course in our neighborhood there is only one way in and one way out, but we finally got out

now, another dilemma, down lines, now i know the power is out for miles but it is just something about driving over lines

lady put a chair there so people wouldn't drive in her yard, sorry madam, i drove around your chair and in your yard

Solomons Island from the bridge- i just thought it was a cool shot

Farm just before the island that got flooded pretty good.

one of the many big trees snapped

i just thought this was kinda funny, guy tapes up his windows so "maybe" they wont break apart.........

doesnt tape his glass door.......hummmmmm, what broke?

well thats it for now, digital camera batteries died as i was walking down to the island

i did take some with the "snail camera" but they are in "snail developing" and i will scan them in tomorrow


tried to get to the Tiki Bar but cops only let business owners and residents so no pics of that part of the island but i did see some people walking around with water up to their chests,

image being able to just pull your boat right up to the bar, hummmmm, new idea:D
