In preparation for the storm, crews are removing all the blowout panels from the State Park Pier. We are really hoping this will be a "Dry Run".

I remember that. Pretty intense little storm. That spray coming through the holes is just crazy how strong the ocean can get.

A small fork truck with a boom/jib mounted sure would work good for that task, stacked then moved with the forks

TS Isaac was a bad one for marsh loss along MS Sound. TS's are worse than a hurricane from that aspect.
