Storm Report
Sandwich, MA
Impacts Reported
"Mill Creek has been completely blocked by material pushed into it from Overwash #1, just east of Town Neck Beach boardwalk. The blockage is roughly 100 feet wide. Unclear how water will drain from creek. May be rerouted through salt marsh. This location is a likely candidate for a breach so Mill Creek may eventually be redirected into Cape Cod Bay at this location."
