Hopefully the worst of this storm is over, can we run a list of damage that occurred? Someone mentioned cuts at Nauset and Monomoy and we know there was a fair amount of damage in South County RI...

Trying to get more accurate info - thanks!

as of afternoon yesterday, I know Nauset had 3 cuts, with 2 or 3 bad tides left to come...

I don't think it's really "damage" as much as re-shuffling of structure. Shorelines, especially soft sandy ones, are forever shifting due to storms, winds, and currents. Every spring brings some changes, and the fish adapt their activities to them. Humans have come up with the concept of storm "damage". We take possession of pieces of land that have been forever changing due to storms, flooding, and just time. When we "own" that piece of land, we call those changes "damage". It's kind of foolish to build on dunes, floodplains, etc, and expect compensation when nature runs her normal course.

Flattened the ass end our babysitters car to the ground and ripped the service from the house. What a mess. Feel bad for the kids car. I had move my truck a few days before thank god or it would have been toast. Thank god no one was hurt and it went away from the house. P.

The Cape Cod Times online midday update is reporting one serious breach of Nauset near the trail #8 crossover. Paul Fulcher of Orleans parks drove down and found the breach was 50 feet wide and three feet deep and could not cross it at low tide. At high tide it's 100 feet wide. This is right between two camp villages so if it were to stay that way and expand camps will be lost.

The jetty in woods hole near the fisheries building took a pounding
the end is almost totally gone. The first storm in december did the majority of the damage but this one pretty much demolished the end of it.. oh, well there goes my schoolie spot

Under today's bright sun, the Canal is still a silted brownish-green.

It's a little early to be throwing some jigs, but I'm anticipating a lot of new crap lining the bottom that got blown in from the Bay.
