Beaches along the coast have been impacted by the remnants of Hurricane Ian over the last several days.
Rough surf caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ian damages beaches and dunes in Harvey Cedars, NJ, Tuesday, October 4, 2022.The remnants of Hurricane Ian continue to hammer New Jersey with rain and fierce gusts of wind this week, as parts of the state’s coastline see dramatic cliffs from beach erosion.
A handicapped area at one street for people to walk onto the beaches is “just gone,” he added. Further south, dunes are scattered all over, Sferra added., which caused devastation in parts of Florida and the Carolinas, and killed more than 65 people, according to the Associated Press. “It’s just been a slow, gradual, consistent daily, daily beating,” Burnaford said. “So every minute, every hour, that consistent wind just kept eating away, eating away, eating away.”Public works employees will initially put up caution tape to warn people of the cliffs, and then begin the process of restoring the walkways to the beaches soon, Burnaford said.
The worst beach erosion he said he saw was in Strathmere, an unincorporated area in Upper Township, in Cape May County. “There, the dune was completely — in one section — completely erased,” he said.
