Thanks so much for the memories! I was only 4 at the time but I remember it so well. My friend and I watched it all from second story home on Beach 108th Street. WOW! Thanks again!
@ptroxxx This was taken in Rockaway Beach New York. The film would have been more dramatic but my mom refused to let me go out earlier. The water was much higher in the street when the ocean was at full tide.
The streets were Beach 115th *& 116th street between the Atlantic Ocean and Jamaica Bay.
Thanks, It was my first day at JHS198. I walked home to 39th St and Rockaway Beach Blvd. I sat in my room and watched the Bay and the Ocean meet right in front of me. I had two blocks to the Bay and two to the Ocean. I will never forget thank you for the footage, no one would ever believe me.
I remember that we had two straight years with hurricanes. The school bus dropped me off from JHS 180 at Cranston and 139th St and I walked home in waist deep water. Now I can show my kids the event that I've described for years. Thanks Marty. It does bring to life an old Rockaway memory. I hope Rockaway survives Irene....
I also recognized the old train station where I later dropped my Dad off on his way to NYC for work..... Jon Perlman MD
Moved to Nordeck on Beach 57th Street 2 weeks earlier. First day in 3rd grade at PS 42.
Walked home in water up to my neck. STILL talk about that day!

I was three years old when this flood occurred. Now I can rest assured that it all was not a dream..
