PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- A spring nor'easter that stuck Rhode Island's coastline has caused extensive erosion from Westerly to Narragansett, removing entire dunes and exposing boardwalks and cars buried decades ago.While the storm didn't destroy any homes, it has threatened the stability of several buildings and dumped sand into parking lots. Officials at the Coastal Resources Management Council toured the state Thursday and said they hadn't seen so much erosion since a series of storms hit Rhode Island in 1991.

At Misquamicut beach in Westerly, the pounding surf eroded so much sand that it uncovered old home foundations and cars believed buried by a 1938 hurricane. Workers there spent Thursday scraping sand from roads and parking lots leading to the beach.

The storm left Narragansett's town beach splayed with so many stones that it would be difficult to spread a blanket. Pointed spikes poke up from an area of the beach, part of what town officials believe are remnants of a century old boardwalk that stood before churning surf eroded more than 100 feet of shoreline.
