Nor'easter at Topsail Island

[reelreturn]

Here's a few pictures of the ocean in front of my house at Topsail. You guys in Wilmington be careful the next time you go out, there's a lot of steps and debris in the surf now.

Please try to get some pics of the low sections of the island. I'd bet there was a bunch underwater on the high tide !

The dunes in front of my house are being breached by the waves right now- Jim Cantori is at the north end of the island right now. Tide is now going out.
