USGS CoastCam captures seawall failure

Detailed Description

USGS CoastCams are invaluable tools for both scientists and emergency managers. Here, the USGS CoastCam at Madeira Beach, FL captured the moment a seawall collapsed due to storm surge and wave attack from Hurricane Helene. This occurred hours before peak impacts and is important information for the community.
