here is what was left of the Spring Lake NJ Bath house 1992 storm

The "Nor'easter" storm that struck the coastal areas of New Jersey on December 11, 1992, caused about $270 million in insured damages to public and private property (Dorr and others, 1995). Most of the damage was due to tidal flooding and storm surge, which were especially severe along the back bays where bay tide levels often exceed ocean tide levels.
