I saw evidence of this on my ride to Point Lookout yesterday.
A stretch of the Rockaways Boardwalk has been reconstructed, and another part has reopened. What's interesting is that you can see both of them together:
Concrete and composites are being used to reconstruct the sections that were destroyed. Of course, that fact begs the question of whether such a structure may still be properly called a boardwalk.
Then there were parts that were merely fixed. You can tell these parts by the new guardrails:
It's hard to tell just how powerful the storm was when the sea looks so calm. However, when I got to Point Lookout, the tide was in:
The water tumbled against those rocks just a few moments after I took that photo. Although skies were clear and gave nary a hint of even a shower, it's hard not to remember the storm.
