Breach on Portsmouth Island in North Carolina caused by Dorian
Detailed Description
This breach on Portsmouth Island in North Carolina was likely formed by sound-side flooding caused by Hurricane Dorian. The dunes are intact and a steep bank can be seen on the back side of the dunes, indicating to experts that the process of erosion and inundation came from the sound rather than the ocean.
