South end of Long Beach Island, NJ. Lower levels of oceanfront houses completely destroyed by flood water. However, relatively new pile-supported houses performed as intended, preventing total collapse. "Breakaway" walls around lower levels gave way, allowing water to flow under each house. Severe erosion of sand occurred under houses.
