Too bad

If it just brings massive beach erosion, will the beaches be closed for a couple days afterward?

Don't get too excited... Some of us actully own houses in the "High Risk Area" Mine happens to be just north of Ocean City, MD and only 2 blocks fom the beach. I'm very nervous, will MD if all is safe.

47Th I'm with ya... we are on 27th @ New Smyrna beach, but back on the river side... around a 1/4 mile from the shore. I'm glad to see it go E some more but I Pray for the other people it is going to affect for the good or bad. The biggest thing to remember is to stay safe.

i have full pity on those close to the beach may no homes or folks be hurt * but may lots of man dumped sand be scoured off --showing us the "goodies" long hidden below.

Most likely we will have to find a way to sneak to the beach or cross through private property. Yes the public beaches of the Treasure Coast will most likely be closed. Im expecting the bridges to be open as usual which is good.

Well, its pulling a little farther away from Florida, but now I'm a little worried about folks up in the Northeast.

Looks like they might get a direct hit.

Here's to hoping that thing runs out of steam by the time it arrives.

 

[bigscoop]

Not sure if we'll see too much erosion since it seems keep tracking further east? However, got the Excal & WOT on standby just in case.

We are bracing up here in New England but its been awhile since we had a good turnover at the beach...I will be out in it on Sunday...call me crazy...I just wish Minelab would get my sovereign back to me on time so I can avoid the surface trash that the PI loves so much

jjg70, you ask:

"If it just brings massive beach erosion, will the beaches be closed for a couple days afterward?"

I'll have to agree with big-cypress on his answer: Just find an alternative trail/road/path on to the beach of your choice.

This has happened during bigger storms in CA too, where a certain beach access point will be closed by the powers-that-be, because .... perhaps they consider it unsafe, or whatever. But as you know, the beach is endless in length, and there is no way they can close off every trail-head. You simply go north or south from there, and go in a different way. And once you're on the beach, I don't think you get booted. Surfers, for example, look for those "big wave" conditions too, and will get out on the water, at all costs, if mother nature dictates.

Or if someone really is down on the beach itself shooing people away (and not just the parking lots and entrances themselves closed), then you can merely go to neighboring beaches, where no one's shooing people away. But as I say, I think it's more a matter of trail-heads/lots closed, not that persons (who might live with houses right on the dunes, for instance) can't be on the beach itself.
