All eyes were on the east coast this past weekend as Hurricane Irene tore up city after city leaving many without power, and in many cases causing massive destruction to homes. One such unfortunate soul was none other than Sebastian Bach (former Skid Row vocalist) who lost his home of 21 years to flooding.
Bach describes the incident on his facebook page:
I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on MTV Cribs, has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene. In the 2 decades I have lived in this home, there has never been a single drop of water in the basement or anywhere else in the structure. Now Irene has overflowed the reservoir adjacent to my house. The surging waters have snapped the bridge in half next to my house & sent the bridge straight into my garage, knocking the house off of its foundation.
That sounds pretty intense! Bach went on to survey the losses which include irreplaceable items such as Skid Row master tapes, band memorabilia from the first to last tour, as well as a KISS pinball machine and other collectables. Luckily his ex-wife and children were not hurt during the incident, but upon finalizing his divorce he does plan on starting life over in Los Angeles.
