This US island was set to become a resort until 2 storms changed everything
Assateague Island was once planned as a major resort community with thousands of homes, roads and commercial areas.
Two powerful storms changed that future.
A 1933 hurricane split the island, while the 1962 Ash Wednesday storm destroyed roads and structures.
The island was later protected as a National Seashore in 1965, preserving its beaches, wildlife and natural coastal habitats.
