Last Wednesday, a personal weather station on a Brant Beach home recorded a 101-mph gust of wind. Beach Haven had an official weather station recording of 93 mph. It took down limbs and entire trees in our area. It took part of the roof off the St. Francis Center. This is the second massive windstorm in a matter of six weeks.

On any given week around LBI, that kind of weather event is the news of the month. It’s all we would talk about.
