Saw in the globe yesterday that the erosion on the outer cape from the early January storm was the worst in decades. Particularly the Bay side in Truro to Eastham and the Ocean side down to Ballston. Anyone see first hand? Report says no beach at high tide...

WBZ4 showed images on the news yesterday, not much left!

Call Obama
He can fix anything

Not good. More ammo for them to close the beaches even further.

I've been walking at Ballston and it's a sheer drop at the parking lot about 10' the beach is gone at hightide to the south to "brush-hollow" the clay banks are collapsing.Further to the south the beach is sloped more than usual with some bars and sluices that look really nice but it's a winter beach so that will change.Race Point took a beating with the n/w wind and 12' tides at the light house.The Pamet breakwater was messed up pretty good too.The dredge was inside the river prior to the last storm up in the area of the boat ramp but I did'nt check to see where it is now.eastham and brewster beaches got smacked.Paines creek lot was pretty much wiped out.

My father was out there for New Years. He went to take a polar bear plunge at Long Nook. He told me it was so eroded he couldn't get down to the water from the parking lot.

it ain't the getting down that's a proplem...pretty much straight drop...it's the getting back up..

this coming blow on Sunday night, looks to create even more erosion, as it is making up to be a "coastal" storm...

sea level rising, and cape sinking.

Chatham is going to have issues at Scattaree.. already the landing is taking a pounding due to the loss of barrier beach...might be an interesting place to watch Monday at high tide... :eyes:
