A few photos taken today showing the after math of Saturday's storm at Refugio State Beach. The lower portion of the project site was inundated with salt water for roughly 45 minutes on Saturday morning. Debris including seaweed, trash and driftwood were left behind as high tides receded. Native container plants that were stored on site waiting to be planted this coming Saturday were inundated with a mixture of fresh and salt water. A new low flow channel has been formed with in the creek banks. State Park staff have been working to clear the day use parking area on the west side of the creek of sand and debris that were washed ashore. As of late morning the park was once again open to day use visitors. The beach lost most of it's sand and palm trees lining the beach took quite a beating.
