  • A look along Porpoise Drive on Fripp

    On a driving tour of Fripp Island on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2016, the most severe damage to the gated community was the sea wall on Porpoise Drive. Several homes had trees land on their roofs but the majority of the island’s ocean side structures suffered damage from storm surge flooding. Homes further from the ocean suffered superficial damage - shingles and eave damage - from the winds.
