Last weekend's high surf carried away sand and cut into the dunes at Fire Island National Seashore and Robert Moses State Park. It also damaged Suffolk County's Smith Point Park and the Town of Babylon's Gilgo Beach.
While the problems have reshaped the shoreline, they still pale in comparison to storms in 1992 and 1993. Those damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes and other buildings.
