Their coastal properties were hit with 3 storms in a month. Now they worry about erosion being the 'new norm'

After the first of the pre-Christmas Monday storms, Lorneville resident Paul Mangion said it was the worst his waterfront property had seen. 

“So I thought, OK, well, if that’s the worst one, it wasn’t too bad here,” he said.

Then came a second storm a week later and a third one on Jan. 13. 

“The last one we had, well, that was a whole other ball game.”

Where the previous storms didn’t even reach the stairs to the beach at his place, the Jan. 13 storm surge covered them.
