Hurricane Sandy Aftermath in Bridgeport PICS
Message:
City buses were running again today and the wind wasn't too bad so I headed out to some areas near me and then down to Seaside Park to take pics and see some other stuff. Saltwater still remains flooded all the way to the police department's horse station at Seaside.

Areas of the North End along Madison Ave north of Vincelette St had power.

On my may to Twin Brooks Park today I looked at Beardsley Park. Many of the ancient oaks and pines that have been standing at Beardsley Park for a century or more were down.

Wow. Hope you're doing OK. It's going to take a while for the shoreline to recover. We got off lightly up here in central CT. Not much traffic on the site and I've been wondering how some of you guys along the water have fared.
