I just saved two Dovekies that appear exhausted from the Shaw’s parking lot on Eastern Ave. I’m letting them rest up, gave them some lobster and then releasing them on to Long Beach.

According to officials, the coastal flooding was worse in some sites prone to high tide flooding than they had experienced in past storms. The impact is going to take time to assess.
In the meantime, congratulations to DPW and city services. Making roads safe was addressed immediately by Gloucester DPW. On Thatcher Road, the clean up was instant. How did this storm surge impact your neighborhood? I spoke with 20 residents around Long Beach (in East Gloucester and Rockport) and every one of them felt that this storm did not cause as much damage as the year with the trio of March storms. However, homeowners closer to Gap Head cove in Rockport felt it was the worst they’d ever experienced.
“The waves kept coming,” they said.
Photos: Aftermath. Day 2. High Tide #3. Coastal cleanup continues swiftly. On Long Beach, Saturday’s midnight high tide #2 punched out a few more holes along the walkway, shortened the berm height a couple of feet, yanked off the winter stairs, and displaced additional sand. There are sequential extra Long Beach photos for residents who are away.

From Bill Bartlett yesterday: “I got home 25 minutes ago and looked out the back window and this is what I saw over the Cape Ann Marina resort. God made an absolutely beautiful painting in the sky.” “It did not last long but my timing was perfect. After all of the rain and flooding earlier today, this was something special.” Agreed! Thanks for sharing.
