Thanks for Sharing, Amazing that this movie of the Storm of 1933 is preserved so well. Was always curious how the Storm cut the Inlet, Thank You Very Much
And thus, a new OC inlet was born. I tell ya though, I think OC has been extremely lucky when it comes to hurricanes and tropical storms. I remember Hurricane Gloria in 1985 looked like it was poised to do major damage. Luckily, it stayed just far enough off the coast and then sped up headed northeastward to cause minimal damage in OC.
In 1985 i was camping when that hurricane came by blew our tent away and tried to go back to the city because my family was there and my car stalled out on the bridge . I got it running before someone ran into us .
Yep, that was the Surf Ave. Parking Lot. Between 7th Street and Surf Ave. The very first building you see in the distance (on the boardwalk) is The Original Majestic Hotel. The Savage's Owned it. Yep, Billy Savage. My mother was one year old. The Davis's lived right there on 7th & Baltimore Ave. Yep, Sandy Davis. I eventually moved to OC in '61 from Willard's MD, just in time for the storm of '62. When City Hall was the Elementary School. My mother went to Elementary School where the Old Bamboo Apartments used to be at Third Street and Wilmington Lane. It became a Miniature Golf Course. Now it's a Parking Lot. Yep, there's the Brueckmann's Ice Plant (Brooks Brueckmann) at Somerset Street & Philadelphia Ave. The Man who came up with the name for MR Ducks. Yep, I'm a Shorebilly.

That is the storm that drove the residents from Hog Island off the coast of the Eastern Shore of VA.
I wonder if horses from Assateague would come into Ocean City before the inlet was formed.
Wow the Wizard of Oz didn’t even exist yet!
Actually, yes it did. The first Wizard of Oz movie was made in 1925. The one we know so well was made in 1939, a remake believe it or not.
