Darlin', I looked at some storm damage yesterday, caused mostly by wind. One place I saw, however, was on a flat stretch of beach with no dunes to protect the condos. The water and sand swept right through them, leaving the building intact but with a mess that will take a long time to clean up.
What a shame. From what I hear, for anyone willing to work hard, put in long hours and make a 4 to 8 week committment the communities hit hardest are paying premium $$$$ to clean up crews.
