Hurricane Blew the Old Shed Away

In late-October 2012 Hurricane Sandy (officially "Superstorm Sandy"; but once a hurricane, then always a hurricane) ravaged the lower Delmarva Peninsula as it battered New Jersey and New York much further north. Wind, high tide and storm-surge seemed to hit the west-facing Crisfield locale harder than usual. Lower income and rural areas have barely rebounded. But some high-end housing has been constructed, right on the water, perhaps based on income from successful professionals moving in from Baltimore and Washington DC.
