As Seen on LiveStream on 10/29/2012 - new.livestream.com/donalddava... - watch as Hurricane Sandy makes landfall, tears apart the boardwalk and storm surge begins to flood the streets. Adrenaline pumping Video like no other from the belly of the beast as "she" changes the face of Rockaway Beach, New York Forever!
Note: Today is 11/12/2012 and Rockaway beach, New York is without power. I have been running on generator power for over 12+ days burning about 4-5 gallons of gas a day and just got 4G Clear WiFi access temporarily up till i get my Verzion Fios back. Hence why the video is being uploaded 2 weeks later.
Federal help has been minimal, unorganized and there is now a huge class divide between the wealthy and everyone else.
The Rockaway "uptowners" from Belle Harbor & Neponsit have been getting all the resources from City & Federal, priority in clean up, hot food from the Red Cross, warm beverages and recover efforts while those downtown have been left to clean up and fend for our selves. Small charity organizations, and businesses who are as discusted by this as I have been helping "downtowner" or the middle class, as well local residents helping one another. People helping People!
Be on the look out for my next LiveStream Broadcast and video which will be posted on here.

Still one of the best and saddest videos of Hurricane Sandy Rockaway Beach. This was my childhood destroyed and no longer. Donald DAvanzo's KZfaq captures the devastation. I left Rockaway in 1972 and after Sandy it's hard to return. The memories are enshrined with some of the lasting remnants captured.

Hurricane Irene made us too complacent. Superstorm Sandy was worse than Hurricanes Gloria and Donna combined. If memory serves, had Donna (1960) hit during a normal high tide, damage could have approached that of Sandy, per Army Corps of Engeneers.

Indeed. We Americans are the worst at forgetting history. In fact, we don't even try to remember it. We try not to even think of it! Very dumb. That's why we're in the mess we are today, and I really hope it doesn't get any worse.

Hi Donald....I sent you a message but didn't hear back. I am interested in licensing your footage for a documentary. Can you let me know if that would be possible? We can compensate you for the permission.

Would have been better footage if he pointed the camera up instead of at the ground for most of the video, caught myself getting angry at him and yelling at my computer..."POINT THE DAMN CAMERA UP" and slow down while panning, made me dizzyyyyy..uugghhh!! On a better note, thanks for the up close shots and risking your life just for documentation of this devastating storm!

I believe it was boardwalk debris.... So much debris was flying around it is hard to remember or tell what was what! Thanks for watching!

It was at about 1hour to an hour and 3 minutes it looked like something was swimming or running (possibly an animal or creature on the right side of the racquet ball courts)
