The beaches after the storm...

Colonial Taxpayer and I think alike... the latest post on the West Shore Follies blog muses about
Taking bets on how much sand will be left after high tide this evening......

That was some storm, and I'll expect that there will be more emergency work , and maybe appeals to FEMA....

Just wondering... where does the sand GO in the Sound after these storms? Does it end up plugging up shipping channels? Does it just create sandbars out a little ways from the shore? Is there a way to pump that sand back onto the beach??

(After this post, I went down to the beach - the erosion is significant. I took a photo - hopefully will have it online soon.)
