There was a horrible nor'easter that hit the Wildwood's on March 6-8 1962. There was lots of damage like houses teared down, cars smushed, and people dead. This flooded almost the whole island. It teared down the whole boardwalk and people pitched in to help rebuild it. It hit more places then just Wildwood it also hit Ocean City and North Carolina to New York. There was more than $500 million dollars from all the places it hit and more than 40 people were injured and dead. No one knew this storm was coming it hit everyone by surprise. There were about 5 high tides in Wildwood the Highest was 8.6 feet.
