Whoa! We got slammed! Sandy blew into town with a vengeance! Residents stayed as long as possible preparing for what turned out to be a monster storm but when the evacuation order came, most people left. When the storm was over and people were streaming back, cars were not allowed onto the Point because of the number of trees, branches and wires down in the streets. A massive clean-up ensued with neighbors helping neighbors, sharing food and lanterns until the power came back. The clean-up went on for days as many residents lost cars, appliances, furniture, boats and sustained structural damage. It could have been worse, but it was bad enough!
