I was up by spy glass the other day and what a mess.  I will have to post some pictures.  There are crews out cleaning what is left of the beaches and the pier there will be out until further notice.  It is all fenced off.

The inlet to the north is in good shape but the debris on land is off the charts.  There will be long hours of cleaning that mess up for sure.
