Hurricane Sandy Destroys Bay Head NJ
Please everyone share this video to help show support for the people of Bay Head and all of the East Coast. Entire houses were lost! I paddled on a surfboard for blocks through debris, fallen trees, downed powerlines, and held my breath to avoid being poisoned by gas fumes bellowing out of the ground to bring this video to you. Again Please Share This Album on your page to show support for Bay Head. It is going to take years to rebuild.

Thank you for taking and posting this. I moved from Bridge Ave in August to Missouri and was wondering what Bay Head looked like. I could see my old home. Unbelievable the devastation that has hit the shore! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you begin to heal and rebuild.
thank you so so so much for making this video. it is devastating to see my lifelong summer home and town in this state. your hard work has shown the facts and shed insight on all the work we have to do as a community to get our beloved bay head back to what we know.
Thank you so much. We can finally see that our house is still standing. Thank you for giving us the detail I've been looking for all day.
Crazy, crazy, crazy... My dad grew up in Bay Head and I spent many of my childhood summers down there. My grandma eventually moved to Mantoloking which was also devastated by Sandy... I really hope we can get this area back to where it was very soon! It's a beautiful area. It's sad to see a place that feels like a second home to me destroyed... Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for doing this. As someone who grew up in Bay Head and has family who still live there, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for making this video. We used to go to Mullers Bakery after church every Sunday in the summers when I was a kid. So many fond memories. Thoughts and prayers to you and all hit by the storm as you re-build.
Thanks you for posting this. Nice to see our house is at least still standing on Howe and East.
Thank you so much for making this video! Especially coverage of Howe St. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing! The first image we've seen of our house since the storm.
Thank you for taking and sharing......
Thank you!!! I haven't been able to contact my Aunt she is 90 & probably stayed . You filmed the corner of her street Clayton ave. .. it looks like she is flooded. This has been so helpful!
Thank your for sharing this. It is beyond heartbreaking.
Breaking my heart. I grew up in New Jersey, and went to Point Pleasant every summer, next town up the Shore. I walked into Bay Head frequently; loved the Old Bay Head Store, if anyone remembers that. My dad spent all summer every summer in Bay Head as a boy. So many memories. And sir, you have more courage than I to be out in such conditions.
This is so sad! I cannot fathom the horror that these poor people are feeling. Bay Head was such a beautiful, precious part of the coast.
Thanks alot Spraynard these are areas I grew up in. But keep yourself safe please!
Thank you for posting this. I grew up in Bay Head and actually remember the 1962 Noreaster that did a lot of damage as well. This looks worse as I don't remember the flooding shown here. You just missed my house (half way between Mueller's Bakery and the Methodist Church on Bridge. Looks like most of the beach access woodwork is gone. I noticed that many of the houses that fared the best were built on stilts (post 1962 storm!). Thanks again for posting.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I hope your family stays safe and well. Our house is in Normandy and haven't been able to see it yet, other than long-range aerial. This is a nightmare....
This is so devastating. Bay Head is a place that my family and I love dearly, and come to every summer for vacation. It's very emotional to see it in this state. I have been keeping the Jersey Shore in my thoughts & prayers.
Thank you for sharing. There has been so little said about Bay Head. Compared to Mantoloking it looks relatively intact albeit flooded. Thank you also for your bravery. Many folks will feel some relief in seeing this. Not knowing is the hardest part.
Amazing documentary! All the best to you, Spraynard, and all citizens in Bay Head from quiet fairytale Copenhagen...
Awesome coverage, and glad you weren't hurt when you shot this video!
Thank you for this video, We are able to see that the houses around us on Main between Karge and North are standing. Hope ours is too. Thanks again.
Thank you !! I live in NE> but grew up in BH, still have loved ones there. At least I have a good idea of how devastated it really is back there. Be safe and thanks again. Waggie
Thank you! I live in point & left before sandy hit. The bridges are close and your info/video help me see what happened.
Thanks for toughing it out there are that board. I'm very sorry to see this. My family is all ok, our boat was wrecked up in dry dock in Edgewater but so what. We just rented a house in Bay Head for a big family reunion in January. Regardless of whether that happens I hope people are able to recover and not despare.
My daughter's town. May God bless all of the victims of hurricane Sandy.
tks for this, lived on cor of park ave and Holly, raised 5 kids there, remember the good ole days what a mess Sandy has made now in florida
thank you scott
Cannot thank you enough for taking the time to share video with all of us who cannot get down there. Does anyone know if we can travel on 35 south of Pt.Pleasant? Are roads passable at all? Saw the tree down at Howe and 35 which is the corner where we live. How did the businesses on Bridge Ave. fare? Again, for all of us who are homeowners (and not bennies) your unselfishness is overwhelming. Hope no one was hurt and thank all of the emergency responders out there.
Thank you for your courageous video.
Thanks for sharing this--we have been at the shore for over 30 years at 955 East Ave--Would love to know what happened further south
Thank you for risking yourself to make this video. My heart goes out to those people. My power came back on and this is the first chance I've had to view video of the event Any chance you can do a follow-up to see how the rebuilding process has progressed?
As Dangerous as that trek was its one of the best post storm videos I've seen!
Thank you for sharing, I have family waiting to get back to Bay Head and are wondering what it is like there. Now I can let them know once they call again.
Very well done. Hope people are recovering.
Jane Greenway-you can't get past bay head on 35. No way to get any further south. mantoloking bridge is closed, as is the bridge to seaside on 37. Thanks for the video! My father owns Butler's in the Boro, and is in FLA so I will forward this to him. Hope everything works out for all.
At least the houses weren't knocked over I use to do there every summer we stopped going in 2012 I miss it so much 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thanks again, @ spraynard, yesterday they had RT35 bridge close and the back roads on RT70 close, I called the police Dept and they said there are having a meeting to see if they will let ppl in. If you have any info or video on the area around Rock N Joes cafe pls post it, thanks
prayers to ALL !! just heartbreaking.
hey, theres a store on the road parallel to the shore that always has, like, towels, or blankets hanging on lines in front of the store. if you know the store, could you let me know if it is okay? thank you so much.
of all the houses on East Avenue that were destroyed, the one that suffered the least amount of damage, was that huge house on the corner of Howe/East Aves. The one that has a lighthouse shape in the middle of it. the owner of that house is a total scumbag, and I was hoping that his fortune got washed away, but it was barely touched.

wordless...my beloved bayhead :-( revive. rebuild. renew
Is there any way you could film the corner of East and Osborne? My father lives there and, as a member of the BH Fire Department, stayed throughout the evacuation and storm. I was able to speak with him for about 40s yesterday on a stranger's cell phone but have since been unable to contact him. I know our house is extremely damaged (flooding through the garages, basement, and first floor), but I just don't know the extent. Thank you.
We saw a video with Rock N Joe's on it last night and they had about 3 feet of water. Structure looked ok.
Can you tell me how the Bay Head Sands B&B is? We stayed there with Mary and Ken this summer and they were just lovely people. I hope everyone is safe and the damage is minimal.
Anyone know anything about lake and strickland st? I live on the corner there.
do u have any info by rock N joe cafe?
How about Mount Street near the Central Markup....? Do you have any idea when folks will be able to return home? We have friends who live on Mount Street...be safe.
See what's needed now in BayHead, Point Boro, Point Beach, and Mantoloking, visit my facebook page for a link. Any help would be appreciated. Click "Coordinate supplies, needs for NJ 08742," then leave a comment to set up a pick up/drop off or to ask a question. Responders especially need food/water right now. I'll be there later today.
Anyone know what 60 Osborne ave looks like?
Rock N Joes-Wow 3 feet! My place is within walking distance, thanks, any links? Videos?
nice to see
I go to Bay Head school and we lost our whole downstairs
ok thanks. hopefully the water didn't get too high for too long
oh no! D-: this is my mom's hometown and my uncle owns Bay Head Sands B&B a block from the beach and my cousin lives in my grandfather's (Ken "Pappy" Glass) old house. So the dunes above the beach are completely washed away now?
Join the Rebuild Bay Head and Mantoloking group on facebook to enter the discussion on the future and now.

you nut... thank God you didn't get electrocuted. Amazing! Be Blessed, Peace
Glad my grandparents moved to dv
