I have read that 1000 pounders were moved. That would be 24 to 36 inch riprap, I would think. It was more the waves than the wind that displaced the boulders from what I understand. Still, an amazing feat.

I know. I wonder if there was not some erosion and the boulders shifted. I watch waves crash on jetties all the time and boulders of that size do not appear to move. I suppose they are not set in when they are just dropped and the wave action for the first time could make them settle. I also suppose if the ground some how liquefied and that could move them. Of course FNC has not used much science.
Oh yeah I am seeing the pictures. Looks like they settled and maybe the base got eroded underneath.
