Devereux Slough Breached

I took my camera along on a beach walk Sunday (Dec. 13) afternoon, in case I got lucky and the Devereux slough breached after the weekend of rain. After hoping to catch the initial breach for 17 years, I got lucky, arriving on the scene at 4:47, about 5-10 mins. after it started. These pictures tell the story; I also posted four short clips on youtube, of which the first is the most dramatic, the second the least interesting, and the fourth 24 hours later:
