Winter storm flooding photos Long Beach
photos Jan. 13, 2024, about 4pm–four hours after high tide–when the ocean receded: some views and condition of the Long Beach seawall, front row cottages, and behind the cottages.
Note: The packed and tamped soft surface atop the seawall walkway was stripped away and a narrow gully was carved along its length. The path is entirely clear and walkable (albeit one front cottage deck which was lifted and traveled some) although a bit uneven and raw. The concrete hard stretch fared better. There was 1 debris chunk and two damaged spots on the concrete section. On the beach, the rip rap is entirely exposed (which happens every winter). The popple berm between Long Beach and Cape Hedge is shorter, but still standing. Four hours after high tide the road out back was more dry than not. Every storm is different.

Winter storm flooding photos #GloucesterMA
The marshes work wonders during extreme storms
photos January 13, 2024, two hours after high tide: At the back of Good Harbor Beach over to Cape Hedge (roughly Thatcher Road between Stop & Shop, Good Harbor Beach, Long Beach, and Cape Hedge). Streets were impassable for about two hours–flooded by feet of water not inches. Barriers, DPW crews, utility and emergency crews are repairing, clearing, and pushing cars. The last time the floods breached the berm at Cape Hedge was the March 2012 storms. I was away for the prior flooding this week, and have not seen other neighborhoods today.

Happy Dog Running Glistening Long Beach
Rockport to Gloucester and back again, speeding along for a shore close-up at the very end. We couldn’t resist filming the speedy little guy. Did the dog know? Hoping this Monday minute whisks you away to a fabulous shore.
Any soundtrack can work. I was tempted to write ‘Ryan’s dog’… The west coast of Ireland vistas in the movie Ryan’s Daughter flicked in my mind. The 1970 movie was directed by David Lean, cinematography by Freddie Young, and score by Maurice Jarre.
Good Morning Gloucester
