Waves pound Gulf Beach Sunday just before noon, when the local tide was at its highest.
Damages total
millions of dollars
Its too early to determine
the total storm damage here,
but Mayor James Richetelli Jr.
speculated it will be in the tens
of millions of dollars.
Some homes are completely destroyed, the mayor said.
Well, maybe not completely
destroyed but close enough.
And these are shoreline homes,
so theyre costly, and therefore
the tally of damages is likely to
get quite high.
The hardest hit areas in
Milford include Bayview
Beach, Point Beach, Hillside,
Broadway and East Broadway,
where homes suffered extensive
damage.

Tropical Storm Irene struck Milford in the early morning hours Sunday,
leaving behind a wrecked shoreline. At the height of the storm, high
winds and higher tides, combining with rain totals from overnight,
left many in the city without power. Officials said at least 50% of
utility customers were without electricity by Sunday night. Clockwise
from the top, some images captured along the shore during Sunday
mornings high tide: The Gulf Beach lifeguard tower sits unattended;
a group of sightseers along Walnut Beach fail to heed safety warnings; waves pound the wall along the Gulf Beach parking lot; a lone
resident attempts to return to her flooded home on East Broadway;
residents begin to survey the damage as the tide recedes, and finally,
water tops the wall at Gulf Beach, threatening Goodies Snack Bar.

When a large carnivore is
removed from its surrounding ecosystem, the food chain
gets shorter, control passes to
a smaller predator, plant-eating increases at the bottom,
and the number and type of
plants change. Eventually, the
ecosystem reaches another plateau, where it stabilizes, becoming controlled by a new apex
consumer, but with its level of
biodiversity and functionality
degraded from before. These
steps, either alone or in series,
are called a trophic (foodrelated) cascade.
Until the advent of humans,
large apex consumers dominated the natural world, in both
terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Where they still prevail, their influence has many
effects, not all well understood,
but some related to human disease (lions limit the number
of baboons that feed on crops
and inflict their intestinal parasites on farmers); and some as
fundamental as determining the
chemical composition of soil
and water. (Largemouth bass

cabinet. None of them broke.
Not far up the road, Point Beach was in shambles, residents said.
Many of the homes have been destroyed
and it is just a horrible site, said resident Peter
Spalthoff, who used to live at Point Beach. I
lived through some storms while at Point Beach,
however, this was by far and away the worst I
ever saw. It was heart-wrenching to see some of
the homes up close and to see just how powerful
the storm was and how the homes didnt have a
chance against the force of mother nature.
Near Silver Sands Beach, residents on East
Broadway found themselves pummeled by water
on both sides, from the Sound in front of them
and the marsh behind them.
A number of people had to be rescued from
their homes when tides rose quickly and they
became trapped Sunday.
Police and fire scuba teams, assisted by the
National Guard, used inflatable boats and military vehicles to rescue people.
There were people who didnt leave their
homes when it was suggested, and the tides rose
quickly around 11:08, resulting in them being
in danger, said Police Spokesman Vaughan
Dumas.
Two homes one on East Broadway and one
on Broadway partially collapsed.
As of late Sunday, no storm-related injuries
had been reported, Dumas said.
A local couple was happy to be safe after emergency rescuers pulled them from their house on
Shorefront, which is near Silver Sands and Fort
Trumbull beaches.
As the local tide was at its peak around 11:30
Sunday, the Milford Police Department received
a call regarding people trapped in their home at
108 Shorefront. Members of the Milford Police
Departments Marine and Dive Units responded
with two inflatable vessels to assist the stranded
occupants.
Officers safely removed and transported Greg
Davenport, 64, and his wife, Diane, 63, who were
accompanied by their dog and cat, by vessel to a
safe location on Kirkside Avenue. Officers were
assisted by a Milford Police Citizens Academy
graduate, who transported the couple and their
pets to the emergency shelter at Jonathan Law
High School.
The couples home suffered damages from the
storm, including the waterfront windows being
blown out by waves.
Inland, some residents reported damage from
trees, power lines and flying debris. Many were
left without power.
But there were stories of relief, also.
Mario Recupido, whose mother lives on North
Street along the River, was prepared for flooding. His mothers house routinely floods when
there are heavy rains.
There was nothing, Recupido said. She was
fine.
Waves smash a fence along the coast near St. Gabriels Church Sunday.
Bayshore Drive was still submerged even after water had receded elsewhere.

should stay away from any hanging wires and use extreme care
when walking through standing

While power remains out, we
also want to remind residents to
use flashlights rather than candles
for lighting in their homes, Capt.
Zak said, noting that storms like
these pose a variety of potential
hazards. We certainly dont want
to see a house fire because someone has carelessly used candles for
lighting.

With Division I college coaches at

Game one was a 6-0 shutout of
