No, he's not plowing water. During a storm like the one we just had the
ocean throws rocks the size of basketballs (and bigger) onto the roads.
They plow to ensure emergency vehicles can pass.

Here's an image of a truck plowing rocks ....

The Weather Underground web site has an impressive wave picture from
near you:

It's hard to believe that those houses will survive.


It looks like that wave actually hit the seawall and splashed up over
the house. Add another few feet to that water level and have that wave
hit the house directly and it will be inland a ways. That is still
some pretty scary stuff. I assume they bugged out before the storm
hit.
Without the seawalls (or when the static water level is over the
seawall) you end up with something like this.

It also demonstrates what a building code can do.


That picture looks a lot like the fishing shanties that were along US90
after hurricane Betsy hit NoLo in 1965.
