County Road 48 Washout – the last 17 feet

When another Nor’easter or Hurricane strikes the East End of Long Island it will not only wash out these homes, but also takes County Road 48 with it.

In February 2006, a storm broke through an unprotected lot and water surged to within 20 feet of Route 48 and in October 2009, Long Island Sound came within 17 feet of County Road 48 in 6 areas.
