These are pictures of Hurricane Sandy’s destruction of Seaside Park back in 2012. I have rented a beach house in Seaside Park for my entire life and this event hit pretty close to home. The picture on the left is the Seaside Heights boardwalk where I spent hours upon hours of my time riding the rollercoaster submerged in the water and many other games. It was very interesting to drive around and see many of the places I have gone to covered in sand and severely damaged from the storm surge of the hurricane. Climate change and rising water levels are becoming a major topic of discussion for places in danger. Seaside Park implemented higher dunes and increased the distance between the ocean and dunes to combat these changes in global warming.
