Why millions of dollars washed-away is a win for the Jersey Shore

A late September nor'easter carved away at Jersey Shore beach projects totaling over $80 million, and it was considered a success. The beaches lost a staggering amount of sand, but the projects performed as designed, and the dunes held so the roads, gas lines and sewers behind them stayed intact. Meteorologist Caitlin Kaiser explains why losing sand can still mean winning.

Favorite Core Weather Memory

Growing up in Savannah, Georgia, we had our fair share of hurricane warnings, intense thunderstorms and lightning that lit up the sky. Summers were always hot and humid, with muggy nights and thick air. But the weather that really sticks in my memory is the rare occasion when it would snow. Schools would close and kids would run outside, bundled up in mismatched layers. But as much as I loved those rare snow days, autumn weather was always my favorite. I still love opening all the windows in my house, letting the crisp breeze flow through. It’s a simple joy, but for me, fall weather is a reminder of how a perfectly cool breeze can relax both the body and the mind.
