(Depoe Bay, Oregon) – Since December, Oregon s coastline has been getting battered by large waves and massive storms, resulting in unusual degrees of erosion along many beaches. Since January, many sloped foredunes no longer had a slope of any kind, simply a dropoff of some 5 to 10 feet, posing significant dangers.

It s also led to more interesting finds along the beaches as well as disturbing sights.
Major storm action has let up, but there s enough smaller storms kicking up the sands that erosion continues on some Oregon coast bluffs, now resulting in more than a few homes being threatened.
