A lone beach walker enjoys a strong breeze and frothy ocean waves earlier this week!

TUESDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF FALL, marked a pause to our beautiful fall weather as an early nor'easter began affecting the area.  Rain, northeast winds, and heavy seas moved into the area and are expected for the rest of the week.  By Tuesday, winds had reached 25 to 30mph with 6- to 9-foot seas.  
 
AVALON'S BEACH REPLENISHMENT WORK is more than 50% completed, but the project had to be temporarily suspended due to rough sea conditions.  More than 500,000 cubic yards of sand have been placed on north-end beaches, completing the work from 14th Street northward.  The dredge, which has been moved to safer waters until this week's nor'easter moves out of the area, will resume work from 14th Street southward when it returns to Townsend's Inlet.  
 
WANT TO BE NOTIFIED in the event of a storm, tidal flooding, or other emergency that might affect the island or your property?  Both Stone Harbor and Avalon offer reverse 9-1-1 notification systems.  Simply add your contact information and your local address to receive emergency notifications.
