Well aware. I had just moved here permanently and was working for and with a fellow who maintained a few large estates... Saunderstown, Beavertail and Matunuck, as well as Shelter Harbor area. So we did nothing but storm clean-up for weeks. Then there were folks who owned property on Green Hill who needed clean-up work done there. It just went on right up to the end of the year. No thanks. But I do believe it is inevitable that we will experience another major storm. My biggest concern is the depletion of the barrier beach along the south coast between the west wall and on down to Watch Hill area. But my focus is the stretch from East Matunuck to Charlestown. I think a bunch of folks who wished they had beach front property are going to get their wish. And a bunch of folks who spent the long dollar to buy beach front are going to wish they hadn't. It'll be "interesting". A gal I grew up with at Green Hill in the summers has an aerial photo of the beach from GH to Moonstone taken in the early 60s. Unless you were there, most folks have no concept of the width of the barrier then as compared to now. I'm sure that there are similar situations all along the coast.
