ARTIFICIAL PORT BADLY DAMAGED
Between June 19 and 22 there was a storm which hit the ports. The wind was not that unusual for the beach (gale force 6 with gusts of 7 to 8) but combined with a very high tide, it proved destructive. The piers at the Vierville end of Omaha were more severely damaged than at Saint Laurent (or Arromanches). Some elements were taken from in front of the house and used to repair the piers at the other end of the beach. The western pier in front of the house was still serviceable.
