Right there with you Donnie! Last years Winter storms messed things up quite a bit! After the storm, I will have to take a ride over and check it out! It's almost party time over there anyway! Nothing like end of summer season at the beach! Makes me happy!

60mph on shore would be epic. New PR record for beach.

This would also help shorten the 24hr distance time too.

During the winter storms, a lot of sand moved all the way up the beach! Wildwood is being evacuated today in anticipation of 6- 8 storm surge. That would put the water up over the breach wall and downtown. My guess is tons and tons of sand will be moved inland and expose more storm drainage. Like I said, I will check out the damage after the storm. They were still fixing the beach in the spring after last winter storms. Hopefully all will be well!

I should had been more specific damn it. I was wanting such a storm, but over here. Such storms level out our 14 mi stretch of beach and pack it down nicely. Best wishes for the other coast. :dunno:

NJ Local news says the water in Wildwood is up to the pier! That is a lot of water and a lot of beach covered up! Keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't get too bad over there!

Problem is Jon, it's not a steady wind .It is filthy dirty,turbs and such. Reads like this 47,36,52,7,41,59,41,32,12,53 mph,in 20 seconds. What kind of kite can fly in that lumpy mess?

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed response....I was hiding out in Philadelphia for the weekend,,,,I would have actually stayed here for the hurricane but I was traveling back from D.C. on Friday night and could not get back to the area........anyway, the storm was not as bad as they thought it would have been,,,,, which was good. I actually went to the beach today,,,,North Beach, that was,,,,and it at high tide was pretty close to the street,,,,it may have taken some of that sand,,,,I will get a better look at low tide tomorrow,,,,,North Wildwood did not really loose any beach and Im pretty sure our main stomping grounds is unharmed.....but I will confirm and report back,,,,I think we are good.

I was also glad to see that the trailer that we just purchased for the Wildwood CAtholic High School Power Kite Club did not get damaged at all,,,,with the predictions of the storm I thought for sure I was going to come back and find it on its side and destroyed but no damage at all,,,it didnt even move...
