Manasquan, New Jersey: jet skiing down the flooded roads (video)

[Robb]

If you've ever wakeboarded an irrigation ditch behind a pickup truck, that someone thought to try this already, much less strap on a camera for it, might not surprise you.

Otherwise, embrace your inner whatever and take a look.

1. Interesting. I would wager that the houses that are up on stilts are the oldest ones in town.

And they'll survive this storm as they did previous ones.

[monmouth]

2. That looks like Brielle Road. I lived there for twenty years, my kids went to St. Denis. Those

houses have been through loads of hurricanes so hope they make it through this one. We owned Leggett's down on First Avenue.

7. I think you're right

That does look like Brielle Rd, heading West, right? I was raised in Brielle, went to Manasquan H.S., and Boy Scouts Troop 28 at St. Denis.

I remember Leggetts!

I haven't lived in NJ for over 30 yrs now (Yikes). I also hope everyone there is safe. I still have lots of family in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

9. This OP is hardly worth kicking...

...But I had to say your exchange here made me smile.

I love DU.

[tridim]

3. Gawd that's dangerous. Ugh.

It'd be so easy to hit a rock or something and do a faceplant into the curb.

Slow down!

4. Nice. Create more problems with a wake.

If I was all bummed out, sitting on the second floor of a flooded house...

[Scuba]

5. Bingo. Sending another foot of moving water into those homes. Stupid.

6. There would definitely be one fewer jet-skier.

I would Dealey Plaza the asshole.
