Oblique aerial photographs of Hatteras Village, NC

Oblique aerial photographs of Hatteras Village, NC, from May 6, 2008 (top, pre-storm) and August 30, 2011(bottom, post-storm, acquired three days after landfall of Hurricane Irene). The yellow arrow in each image points to the same cottage. Note that the dunes seaward of the cottages may have steepened by wave impacts (the collision regime), but it is not clear with this data. Our lidar results will confirm whether dune erosion occurred. Cottages here appear not to have been significantly impacted by waves and surge.
