The Great Storm of March 1962 was caused by repetitious
astrological high tides and severe Northeasters. The majority of
homes lost were not on pilings. Land, dunes, beach were
replenished by combination hydraulic dredging and bulldozing.
Lands east of the Blvd. were raised significantly thus reducing
future inland damage from over wash. |
