“Along with whipping snow into mountainous drifts, strong winds caused beach erosion and some minor flooding along low-lying areas of the bayfront. But severe flooding was avoided because the storm’s track meant that the strongest winds came from the north and not the east and southeast.”

“A 2016 annual beach monitoring update completed in July showed that there is now more than 310,000 cubic yards of additional sand in the dunes of the project area—and Southampton Town officials say those fortified dunes are providing increased protection to the shoreline.”
