WGRZ-2 On Your Side Digital Sales Specialist Molly Kinkel was in Milford, Connecticut this weekend, riding out Hurricane Irene, but took the time to send us the following amazing photos of the storm and its aftermath.

View from second floor balcony

: We survived the Hurricane and the street flooding has cleared enough for us to drive into town to charge our phones. The damage to our house was minor. The porch has been destroyed, there is water in the basement and our power is out. The neighbors did not fair as well. I will be sending in as many photos as I can of the damage along the shoreline.

Powerful waves

The concrete was pulled up by the waves. Majority of lawns, driveways and front living rooms have sand, rocks and even pieces of other peoples homes.
