The Hurricane Erin’s Erin tape was torn down by Jersey’s shore, causing “significant” beach erosion in road cities as they fall into one of the last summer weekend Big Beach, local officials said.
Mayors on several shore cities said they had assessed the damage caused by a hurricane’s rude surfboard and flood on Friday.
Although the storm remained hundreds of miles to the sea, the Hurricane Erin caused huge waves and powerful sea waves on the Jersey shore, contributing to the tide over the tide.
Curtis Corson, Mayor of Upper Town, said in the city’s beaches that there was a major erosion on the beaches of the city on Thursday night. Until the dunes were damaged, Corson said they were eradicated.
“There is no beach at the northern end of the city,” Corson said, quoting a high water level at the dune base on Friday morning.
“There is no way to access and keep it,” he added.
Avalon Mayor John McCorristin said the town had lost up to 40 feet of space from its beaches, which have already been fundamentally eradicated since recent weather. Although the dune system remains intact, the northern end of the beach suffered the greatest damage.
Several cars and golf carts parked on the streets were probably underwater, but the mayor said he did not expect Avalon to not expect any additional significant damage to the property.
May Mayor Zachary Mullock said the city was a very large flood all the way to the dunes, but he was “pleasantly surprised” by low erosion level.
The city was “quite lucky” and did not suffer much damage, Mullock said.
“If we could not add to the beach in the grave, the water may have been on our streets,” Mullock said.

William Curtis, CEO of Bay in the ocean county, said the beach suffered a lot of damage on Thursday night. The dune fences were demolished from the tide and ribbed waves.
Curtis said he was “very disappointed” that so much sand was lost, shortened by the beach, despite the fact that Borough had completed the complement project last month.
Several cities in the south of the seaside highlands, the mayor Tony Vaz said the beaches had been suffering from tides and very low erosion.
In the Atlantic Countess, the Atlantic City North limb beaches were beaten by a storm, losing large amounts of sand, which were included in the $ 40 million filling project. The work replaced about 1.2 million cubic yards of sand spent in the off -season storms last year.
The beach patrol on Friday “still re -evaluated the situation,” said Andrew Kramer, a spokesman for Atlantic City.
“When it comes to erosion, the city will contact the Federal Government to see how they can help,” Kramer said.
North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello said city officials noticed a loss of sand due to the storm tomb in May County.
“We have definitely lost in places, but we seem to have gained in places as well,” said Rosenello, adding that it’s not uncommon for big storms.
The mayor rated some of the sand cliffs on the beach from 2 to 3 feet in height.
“You have these shore protection measures, whether they are sea walls, partitions and, of course, dunes, and … they soften the damage of these storms,” ​​Rosenello said. “These shore security measures prove their value over and over again.”
