EAST SANDWICH As large waves battered Springhill Beach on Tuesday, evidence of Monday night’s storm remained on Salt Marsh Road. A portion of driveway fell onto the beach below. A warped deck hung precariously, ready to fall at any moment.
The foundations of three oceanfront homes from 112 to 116 Salt Marsh Road were damaged beyond repair. The house at 112 Salt Marsh Road, which was barely standing Tuesday morning, had fallen onto its side into the ocean by Tuesday night. The foundation was ripped out of the ground, and the side with the deck was in the water.
“It is pretty dramatic and [it wasn t] even a big storm out there,” said Joshua Wrigley, assistant director of Natural Resources for the town of Sandwich.
