BTW, how long before the beaches will be in good condition again ?
Darlin', they are recovering nicely on their own. This week was the first since last year's Ivan that the beach was as deep as it had been. Of course, the wonderful and protective dunes will take years to return and only if the storms stay away. Therefore, some folks are spending fortunes to help Mother Nature bring back the dunes on the beach side of their homes and reinforcing them with steel sunk deep into the clay that underlies the beach.
