The streets of Sea Bright that once bustled with the sounds of beach life were silent Saturday as dozens of volunteers from Carbon County arrived in the New Jersey shore community.
Beautiful beach homes now lay in ruin, split in half and crumbling from the weight of waterlogged wood.
Sand dunes 30 feet high, rise at the edge of the beach, separating humans from water once again.
The lives of the families in Sea Bright have been uprooted; their belongings lost to Superstorm Sandy, a late-season hybrid hurricane that ravaged the East Coast two weeks go.
