00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
The last thing I remember from before was the sound. Every window

00:05.000 --> 00:10.000
in every house was starting to talk. You could hear the water

00:10.000 --> 00:15.000
before you saw it. My uncle said it sounded like a train and I

00:15.000 --> 00:20.000
didn't believe him. I believed him at nine at night.

00:20.000 --> 00:24.500
We took the truck as far as Bay and Marine and then we walked. The

00:24.500 --> 00:29.500
water was at my waist and it was pushing hard. On Snug Harbor a

00:29.500 --> 00:34.500
couple were on their roof. We got them off with a Zodiac my

00:34.500 --> 00:39.000
brother-in-law had in his backyard for fishing. I forgot he had

00:39.000 --> 00:43.500
that boat for two weeks. That is how long the night was.

00:43.500 --> 00:48.500
The mornings after are what people don't tell you. Every ceiling

00:48.500 --> 00:53.500
had a line on it. Every kitchen. The line was the same height on

00:53.500 --> 00:60.000
every wall in every house and it was almost peaceful, like a level.
