Atlantic City's Boardwalk has survived nor'easters for over a century!

The 1962 Ash Wednesday Storm struck for 65 hours — 5 full tidal cycles — destroying much of the iconic Boardwalk and ~1,800 NJ homes. It remains one of the most destructive nor'easters in U.S. history.

The 1962 Ash Wednesday nor'easter caused ~$3B in damage in today's dollars.
