After the Storm

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, USA

Visiting Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, after the “Friday the 13th” storm that slammed the U.S. East Coast in November 2009, we walked to the beach to find out what the fuss was about. The storm had eaten half the dunes, leveling and extending the beaches, exposing long-buried sand fences put there years ago to build the dunes, and wiping out the reinforced and carefully laid-out paths from boardwalk to beach. In some places we found sand cliffs, broken sand fences, and shattered steps; in other places, the paths were buried feet deep under new sand.
