Looks like this will end up being the second costliest storm next to Katrina, not adjusting for inflation.

for the record, the canal is maybe 300 feet to the right in that pic. so while it had to go far enough, it didn't really go that far.

Here's some photos of Fortesue, Gandys Beach in Downe Township, Cumberland County, NJ. Its on the Southern Shore of NJ...an area that you def have not, and wont see on the news...
I've seen damage like this firsthand on a couple of occasions on the seacoast of Mass & NH. Seen 40- 50 foot scallop boats get swept into the marshes during giant tides, and have 'em sit high & dry for months. I remember reading in a paper that one fisherman tried to hire a contractor to dig his then brand new boat a refloat channel from the Blackwater River. The idea was to dig up to the boat, then under it so it might get enough tidal water nearby to eventually float free and back to the harbor. The state said hell no because of initial environmental concerns, then flip flopped real quick. Someone in town pointed out that the boat would eventually leak all of it's petroleum products out into the marsh, contaminating the whole estuary for years afterward. The boat was floated out in under two months. The fisherman has been back out on the water for 15 yrs since. All the damage is terrible. This is the perfect reason to avoid living on the coast, at least for me. Having to deal with insurance companies is a PITA in normal times, never mind after a major storm.
Much mojo and many prayers go out to those affected.

Those pictures are of a town thats on the bay. I doubt there would have been anything left if it had been on the sea...

Just got word that my folks island will have no natural gas service for 6-8 months. They won't turn on the electric until the gas is fixed, and apparently it's in BAD shape. One of my brothers (lives in NJ) and his family has been staying with us for several days, and there is still no power at his house.

My Mom just sent me a bunch of pictures of their house, kindly taken by a neighbor. I'm not going to post them, because I get squinky about privacy. Suffice to say the damage was pretty bad. Everything below the first 10' of the house is destroyed or gone. My surfboards are gone. They're like my guitars, they mean a lot to me. Not destroyed, just GONE.
Anyway, a before and after pic of my folks street, about 50 yards away from their house:
