Key Points:
- A storm surge at Humarock Beach in Scituate, Massachusetts, severely damaged a home on Central Avenue by eroding the supporting rocks and sand, causing the seawall and front patio to drop several feet and exposing the foundation.
- Officials expressed concern that the house’s foundation is pulling away and may not withstand the ongoing tides.
- The nor’easter caused significant sea foam, rocks, and debris to cover roads, with local police assisting drivers blocked by obstructions such as deck stairs.
- Residents noted that while the storm impact was serious, they are accustomed to such events and believe the damage could have been worse.
- New resident Tiffany Timmers reported no water intrusion in her home and expressed gratitude that the situation was not more severe.
