To the Editor:

My husband and I were on the beach at Fifth Street in Surf City on Wednesday, June 3. We decided to leave when the sky got real dark, so we packed up and started walking to our car, which was parked on Fifth Street. As we approached the top of the hill over the dunes the wind was picking up real fast, and we could see the wind actually coming at us from the Boulevard.

Within seconds we were in what felt like hurricane-force winds and rain.
