CNN : “Many buildings are soon to be destroyed” – Nags Head To Disappear

As I write this, Hurricane Irene is on its way up the U.S. East Coast and, if the storm follows the current path projections, one thing is certain. Many buildings are soon to be destroyed — perhaps numbering in the hundreds – and thousands more will be damaged.

Dozens of artificial beaches — nourished beaches that cost millions of dollars per mile — will be narrowed and some will disappear altogether including possibly some that are a few months old like the new beach at Nags Head, North Carolina.

    Orrin H. Pilkey wrote his melodramatic piece on the 26th August. I was intrigued to research him.

    However, “All (beach) nourishment work has been temporarily halted due to Hurricane Irene.”
