I had a house on 14th Street North. Wildwood would go down there when I was 5 years old. It was always so much fun and still do now but don't have a home there any longer. 

 

I can imagine the areas that flood are probably in pretty bad shape right now thinking West Wildwood and that bridge area and back Bay areas. 

 

The video camera at 15th and surf avenue at the lifeguard station shows a pretty wild situation with huge seas, very choppy conditions and high winds. 

 

Was a crummy week at Dewey but looking forward to some more day trips in September to the beach as the ocean remains warm and there should be some days with offshore winds for good surfing.

We are down at the other end of the island, near the border with diamond beach. My grandparents bought a house in Wildwood in the 70s but then the family 'upgraded' to Wildwood Crest in the 90s.

"wild situation" sums it up here today... I will go back down at high tide and try to get more pics and vids as the surf continues to build up.   The wind is tolerable standing on the beach, but the constant flow from the N/NE just has the sea continuing to build. There's a very very distinct flow downshore to the south.

Yes, I noticed that on the beach with blowing sand.  Please take a video and post it if you can.

Now it's drizzling and raining. Is this shit ever going to clear out?
