5 years post Sandy, elevation mattered

The light of day oking thru the floor after superstorm sandy , still wasn’t to o bad compared to the rest of the pavilions

Height mattered , looks like about 4-5 feet above the boardwalk

I was able to photograph the inside of the 13th ave pavilion after Superstorm Sandy, what was amazing was the largest part of the building, that was built 5 feet higher than the boardwalk fared much better in the storm, than the boardwalk level snack bar that was destroyed.Here are a couple of photos showing the inside and outside of the pavilion.

November 2 2012 , Matisse Belmar interior of 13th ave pavilion None of the windows at Matisse were broken, even though they faced the ocean waves. The windows were all boarded up by staff 2 days before the storm.The building was elevated about 5 feet above the boardwalk, so the storm waves did not crash as hard.Built in 1929 it withstood the storm pretty well.

The view from the kitchen window at Matisse, after the hurricane Sandy. The outdoor deck was destroy along with the lower level snack bar rea. The Pavillion itself withstood the storm pretty. Built in 1929, this building has seen a lot of storms, it did not survive , though it could have been repaired.

the boardwalk level snack bar, was hit really hard.

Brain williams suspended for 6 months by NBC

We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately. We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News.
Our review, which is being led by Richard Esposito working closely with NBCUniversal General Counsel Kim Harris, is ongoing, but I think it is important to take you through our thought process in coming to this decision.
While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003. It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position.
In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field.
As Managing Editor and Anchor of Nightly News, Brian has a responsibility to be truthful and to uphold the high standards of the news division at all times.
Steve Burke, Pat Fili and I came to this decision together. We felt it would have been wrong to disregard the good work Brian has done and the special relationship he has forged with our viewers over 22 years. Millions of Americans have turned to him every day, and he has been an important and well-respected part of our organization.
As I’m sure you understand, this was a very hard decision. Certainly there will be those who disagree. But we believe this suspension is the appropriate and proportionate action.
This has been a difficult time. But NBC News is bigger than this moment. You work so hard and dedicate yourselves each and every day to the important work of bringing trusted, credible news to our audience. Because of you, your loyalty, your dedication, NBC News is an organization we can – and should – all be proud of. We will get through this together.
Steve Burke asked me to share the following message.
“This has been a painful period for all concerned and we appreciate your patience while we gathered the available facts. By his actions, Brian has jeopardized the trust millions of Americans place in NBC News. His actions are inexcusable and this suspension is severe and appropriate. Brian’s life’s work is delivering the news. I know Brian loves his country, NBC News and his colleagues. He deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him. Brian has shared his deep remorse with me and he is committed to winning back everyone’s trust.”
