“On March 9 of 2013 Atlantic Hurricane cut a 100-foot wide opening in the narrow barrier dune at Ballston Beach in Truro, on Cape Cod. Tons of seawater surged into the freshwater marshes of the upper Pamet River eventually reaching Route 6, and briefly turning the end of Cape Cod into an island.”
What an incredible story! I took this photograph from the summit above Ballston Beach on the Pamet Cranberry Bog Trail. You can see where the dunes were swept away and the water went inland.
Mother Nature always has her own way…
Given the history of the area, I’d worry about living in those houses. Fabulous views, but for how long? Yikes!
On top of the far dune on the right is the house that was “moved back” a bit last winter!
Oh dear. Still looks precarious. :-0
