STORMS CONTRIBUTE TO COASTAL EROSION |
| Caption: |
Top: Two hurricanes, 21 days apart, eroded sand from this coastline in Vero Beach on Florida's east coast. The top picture, taken in August, 1997 before the hurricanes, shows a sand dune providing some protection for the homes. A red arrow points to the same place in all three photographs.
