This tread is/was about the Breakwater and I feel guilty about diverting it, but ...
I too remember a week after Hurricane Ivan but being a West End person, my memory is the lack of trees on my walks to town, and lots of entangled coax on the poles.
I do recall waves lapping at piles/wall foundations someplace but don't necessarily attribute it to Ivan. Yet recent walks by a popular hotel had beach chairs crammed together leaving the high water mark the only avenue of passage, leading me to conclude Alfred's beach returned but NOT ALL of the sand. There IS a difference. I had not given any thought to HOW it got there.
Maybe someone should think about a breakwater. (humor)
FYI, Ivan was 9/16/04, and Gilbert was 9/12/88.

I hate when bananas have to be imported.
