Description:During the fall of 1985, Hurricane Elena passed erratically through the Gulf of Mexico, threatening landfall across the west-central Florida coast. This occurred just as a detailed geologic reconnaissance of a three-county sector of Florida's open-marine, marsh-dominated coast was completed, thus providing an excellent opportunity to examine the effect of high energy events on this type of coast (distinctly different from the barrier island coast to the south which sustained heavier damage). This paper examines the differences and explains why the impact was not greater.
