This is what the beach looks like...

...when there is a Category 2 hurricane passing by, even if it is (thankfully) far out at sea.


No swimming was particularly good advice!


The waves rolled in all the way up to the foot of the dunes.




This is the high water line up on the dune (I was there shortly after high tide).


And this is the high water line nearly all the way to the top of the access ramp.

The north end of the island (past the pony pens) was closed for part of the day due to ocean overwash which made it impassable. (I'm honestly not sure of the current status, but wouldn't be surprised if it was still closed.) These next pictures of the road are from Jaren.

Thanks for the photos! If the surf was up that high, I'd say that's further evidence that people should stay off the dunes. ;0)
