Singer Island Sands Replaced After Tropical Storm Noel



"Singer Island Sands Replaced After Tropical Storm Noel",

After devastating The Dominican Republic and Haiti, claiming 143 lives and causing untold damage throughout the island, tropical storm Noel moved onto Florida and worked its way up the east coast.


Many exclusive buildings including condominiums, hotels and other real estate were affected as sand around them was simply washed away by the storm.
 It was gripping TV as viewers across the US were able to witness at first hand the sheer power of the tropical storm.
 Less than a month after the storm heavy machinery was on the beach meticulously replacing the sand washed away by Noel.


Although that may seem an expensive short-term solution Governor Charlie Crist estimates that each dollar spent replacing the sand will generate eight more in tourism revenues for the area.


"I'm not a scientist," said Grist, ""but it looks like jetties provide a longer term solution.
" The work on that long-term solution has already started at Jupiter Beach and is expected to take one month.
