Flood of storm watchers at local beaches 'just ridiculous'

This article is about how people from the seacoast migrated to the local beaches during Hurricane Sandy to see the wrath of Mother Nature.  I chose this article at first because I was one of those crazy storm-watcher people.  My mom and I header to the water to see the waves, feel the wind and see how high the tide was.  It was really amazing to see the effect one storm can have on the ocean.  I had a blast however I can see how this could be a problem for local police officers.  According to the article, when Governor Lynch declared a state of emergency people were still flocking to the coast.  Police officers had difficulty containing the 100+ people on Hampton Beach, especially when they had other things to worry about.  I noticed on the Portsmouth Herald website that the majority of the article pertain to Hurricane Sandy... clearly that's what the readers want!
