Time-Lapse Video of Storm Surge

This time-lapse video, courtesy of Ralph Fato in Norwalk, shows people putting sand in bags to protect their property from flooding the day before Sandy's arrival. The surge happened at close to midnight, and with the loss of power, he was unable to record the entire effect of the surge.

However, take a look at the swelling of the Sound and the rare waves. The camera was chained to a flag pole. Sand and ocean debris came onshore about a quarter-mile inland. There were "feet of sand" in spots.
