Waterfront building broke in half during Superstorm Sandy
It’s been three weeks since Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the East Coast, and the damage at one beach is so bad that crews actually have to demolish one of the waterfront buildings.
The cleanup is ongoing at Narragansett Town Beach, and we’re told that demolition will begin today.
An estimated 20,000 yards of sand was lost during the storm, and piles are currently sitting in nearby parking lots, waiting to be returned to the shoreline.
The force of the water heavily damaged part of the cabanas on the beach, one half spun around and now sits facing the opposite direction.
“We took a substantial hit, particularly with the storm surge,” said Steven Wright, Director of Narragansett Parks and Recreation. “Storm surge lifted them off their foundation and then split them in half, and we’re actually going to be demolishing those today.”
