The powerful winter storm during the weekend of January 22-23, 2016 resulted in significant flooding and beach erosion in parts of coastal New Jersey. This video shows a time lapse of the dune erosion during the storm surge on top of the high tide of Saturday 1-23-16. Notice the dunes on the left and how they initially hold back the ocean. As the tide rises, the storm-induced surge, plus the wave action, eliminates the dunes with ease and the water is able to breach and move under the newly renovated Boardwalk.
