Video of Cape Island & Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge after Hurricane Irene

Karen Beshears, Executive Director at SEWEE Association passed along this video:

She said about this region and her organization’s work: “It is astonishing what can change in one night, but these are barrier islands and they are always changing!

She also sent some powerful imagery of this area:
