SKYLINES: Ocean Avenue, Ocean Grove

Rooftops along Ocean Avenue in Ocean Grove loom over sand berms constructed on the ocean side of the boardwalk before rough surf and high tides caused by Hurricane Florence and other storms assail the beach. At noon Thursday, Florence was off the Carolinas and expected to make landfall later in the day. Locally, the storm will create high swells and deadly rip currents and rough surf, the National Hurricane Center said.
