Rumble at the beach - Building the winter storm berm. It's loud and the ground shakes and it smells like diesel exhaust.

Every year the machines are roaring and rolling up and down preparing for any big swells we might get.

Haha! It's just a long hill to stop the ocean from flooding the beachfront homes. 😎

Berms are a pile of sand on the beach. We have groynes too but call them jetties and/or breakwalls. Those are made of rocks usually - sometimes concrete, and go out in the water. lol

I'm so isolated from people and my old life I have no idea most of the time WTF I'm saying or doing.
