Storms That Took Our Sittum

This first person account by Tom Tempel, who lives across the road from Ocean Park and the sittum, vividly recalls the stormy years of 1996 through 1999. It gives life to the hurricanes and northeasters, the efforts to repair damage and respond to nature’s pounding. Key to it all are the many people Tom introduces who worked to make the Ocean Park sittum the pleasant restful spot it is. The post originally appeared as an article in the June 2016 issue of The Shoreline.
