The article I read said the children were swept away and then she asked for help.
I am so sorry for this family, but how many days of warning did they get before the storm hit?
Not a big fan of stupid.
This occurred at 6pm Monday, well after the surge began and right at the time Sandy made landfall.
For those unfamiliar, that location is on the ocean-facing side of the island. It is maybe 250 feet from the boardwalk of a duneless beach. There is zero natural barrier between the ocean and the road.
You could not have picked a worse time or a worse place to be driving than there.
There shouldn't have been anyone in those houses at all, they are almost all ranch style homes.
It is amazing to me that the children were found so close by, I would have assumed that they were swept out to sea.
Poor little guys.
