Journey to the coast with Michael Morgan as he looks back at the
area's most deadly storms. Coastal Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
have always been vulnerable to the power of storms. In the early
nineteenth century, storm-driven shipwrecks led to the construction of
the Delaware breakwater. In 1933, a storm created an inlet on the
south edge of Ocean City and changed the character of the Maryland
resort. The Ash Wednesday nor'easter of 1962 devastated oceanfront
communities, led to the creation of beach replenishment projects that
pushed the ocean back from the new multimillion-dollar buildings that
sat on the sand and spurred the creation of Assateague Island National
Seashore. Michael Morgan narrates the stories of these storms and
reminds us of the power of wind and water.
