Vanishing Cape Cod Shoreline

On March 9 of 2013 Atlantic Hurricane cut a 100-foot wide opening in the narrow barrier dune at Ballston Beach (Truro, Cape Cod). Tons of seawater surged into the freshwater marshes of the upper Pamet River eventually reaching Route 6, and briefly turning the end of Cape Cod into an island. I watched the breach occur after sunrise at 9:00am.
