The Morning After: Ocean City's Post-Storm Return to Normal
This morning, the Town of Ocean City was busy restoring order after the effects of Hurricane Erin left their mark. Lifeguard chairs were moved back into place, while the ocean and wind-swept sand from yesterday's storm was cleaned up. Evidence of the storm's power, like tidal pools by the Boardwalk wall and sand on the beach steps, remained—though the Boardwalk itself was largely clear. Visitors, eager to get back outside, were out enjoying the beautiful weather and watching the stunning waves from a safe distance.  Farewell Erin, we're still smiling! Time to play on the beach again! Time to play on the beach again! Standing water shows how high the tide was last night, but the Jeeps still managed their crawl. Still powerful waves, but it's ankle deep is allowed Enjoying the Boardwalk this morning Enjoying the Boardwalk this morning Stacking the barriers which protected the Boardwalk during Erin Positioning one of the many trash cans on the beach Public Works Department busy this morning Putting everything back in place Proof how high the tide was last night k Shoveling the sand off the steps back onto the beach Stacking the Life Guards Chairs Watching the waves from a safe distance! Good firm sand to walk on Nothing beats a morning walk along the beach Enjoying the morning sunshine on the Boardwalk Sit back and enjoy the view We definitely have something to smile about today!
