Drone video shows the extent of erosion with numerous homes collapsed into the Atlantic from Hurricane Nicole.
I know this area well, grew up surfing nearby. A few decades ago these dunes (before many of these homes were built) had a few football fields of beach in front of them. Room for three to four rows of parking and driving lanes. As the sea encroached and the dunes disappeared they started building sea walls. The problem with sea walls on top of sand is they almost always fail eventually. Newer walls are usually stronger but deflect the water toward the older weak ones causing them to fail. Local politicians in this area were told by environmental scientists the 12-15ft walls will only make the erosion worse for the beach but they didn't listen. Allowed more and more development on top of the dunes and higher walls to be built. I really have very little sympathy for people who built right on the beach here in the last 30 years, yes it's terrible to lose your home... but you built it on a plot of soil that is supposed to shift with the storms and the tides. I am hoping the beach side cities and the county decide to ban rebuilding on many of these plots.
We are searching states without hurricanes and tornados
I have wondered why anyone would build a home on the beach. Its just asking for trouble. I get the beauty of it but my goodness, be smarter.
@@mamabear3834 More money then common sense!
Money and greed always wins🏆
@@timboc105 Nature always wins
I Remember back in 70's 80's and most of the 90's you could drive down that road and mostly all see was sand dunes lined with sea oats and full view of the Atlantic Ocean..Mother Nature wants her precious land back!
Building in areas such as this should be illegal. An enviro disaster. They should all have to pay for all the cleanup and huge fines. Pure stupidity.
They are paying for it by being homeless... I agree they shouldn't make the same mistakes twice.
@@krissiliskie3554 - They deserve to be homeless. Not sure why people feel sorry for these folks, because these VERY FOLKS DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE BEACHES. So screw them
@@nunya2954 I’ve lived in Florida my entire life, there is plenty of public beach. Also, as a Florida native, the beach experience on the east coast is not nearly as nice as the west coast of Florida. Go on vacation to Sarasota or literally anywhere else on the gulf coast to enjoy the beach.
There’s a good chance many of these people are retired and have aspired to have these homes after a lifetime of working hard and saving money. If that’s the case, they are likely not swimming in money and living on a fixed income. It’s devastating that they lost their homes. I agree that the idea of sea walls is flawed because they fail and can cause worse erosion, as we have seen from this storm. I agree that there should be more beach and nature preservation in Florida. But don’t have an ugly attitude towards them. Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel if your dream was to live on the beach and have your own little bit of beach to enjoy everyday? How would you feel if you put all your savings and work to make it happen, and it is taken away violently and suddenly? How would you feel if strangers on the internet were criticizing you for chasing a dream to have a beautiful home? Be a human being and grow some compassion.
@@krissiliskie3554 Not sure who you think you are talking to, but I too am a FLORIDA NATIVE. Let me tell you something, don't you lecture me, I have a right to my opinion and I can tell you one thing, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO ON VACATION TO GO TO A BEACH WHEN WE HAVE LOCAL ONES, HOW about YOU taking into consideration that not everyone can go "on vacation" to a beach. SHDM at your lack of deep thought processes. Put myself in others shoes, NOPE AND NOPE. I have a GREAT life, and I also am not so stupid or shallow that I would build my "dream" home on the sands of a beach and I sure am not going to "put myself" in others SHALLOW SHOES, that built their homes in these areas and they CRY POOR OLE ME... NOPE NOT HAPPENING. Another thing Krissi Liskie - I absolutely believe in GOD therefore, I have NOTHING material that means diddly squat as far as crying over it should something happen to it. IT IS STUFF... another thing, God gives and God takes away, you build on sand, on shores on lakes, or other geologically unsound areas, there may come a day when you have nothing. I have tons of compassion, you have NO idea, however, I don't have to suffer fools. I have a beautiful home, but if nature/God takes it, oh well, I will never be more attached to "stuff" than I am to living beings/creatures and our Creator.
@@nunya2954 haha, you’re just as foolish as the “other fools you suffer”. Glad you have God, may he be there when a storm takes away your home. It doesn’t matter where you are in Florida, a hurricane can still demolish everything you have. You completely missed my point. Not wasting anymore breath on you, go ahead and reply whatever you want :D
Need to condemn every house within 100 yards of ocean and make beach access for everyone !, These rich people all have insurance , or should have as they live on the ocean!
Life lesson.. Don't build your house on top of sand, on a shoreline, in hurricane prone regions. Got it 😂😂
Exactly!
Yeah talk about a ticking time bomb.
They wanted it they got it enjoy the view 😉
I got it, they don’t get it. Kind of like the coronavirus I don’t get it but they don’t get it why I don’t get it got it, if you do,get over it!
That's insane. There are some expensive homes there that have drop in value.
I'm 63 years old and as a child up to a teenager we vacationed at the small mom n pop motels down there. Seemed like a mile of beach, hard sand beach to reach the waves. It's a total shame to ruin the area building in every square foot and destroying the dunes. I'll keep my fond memories.
yep, and they know the risk, and these developers and buyers still build them. Now their property is right on the water, just like Bali.
Yea they ruined it allowed development all the way to the edge. The dunes need to shift naturally and resettle during and after storms. Now the entire beach is gone and its deeper water right to the shoreline. Daytonas is a pure tourist town of car culture and driving on the beach is one of if not the biggest draw. Sad to see it like this. Ill be watching to see what happens now
For sure those people should have these as their vacation homes and not their primary home. Nature has claimed it back .
We were there during Ian and you could still drive on the beach the day before. After the storm passed there was no more beach. We are shocked to see it disappear right before our eyes.
I do feel bad for all these folks that loss their homes due to erosion from hurricane Nicole, but folks need to understand that building a home so close to the ocean is a big risk; sooner or later if it hasn't happen yet, insurance companies will start denying coverage when homes are build so close to the ocean, in addition, the government eventually will stop granting low interest loans for these people as well.
Building that close to the ocean, also increases erosion. This is one of the reasons our beaches are disappearing slowly.
Wrong on every point.
No more beachfront,its ocean front now
I live one mile west of this beach. Hurricane Nicole didn't cause this damage. Hurricane Ian did five weeks ago. It stalled over us for 24 hours, dropping up to 30 in. of rain and swirling winds. They were feverishly trying to put up temporary sea walls and dirt to secure about a dozen homes that were badly damaged. When Hurricane Nicole hit, it was the nail in these homes and condos coffins.
You nailed it brother I live in Daytona Ian was horrible loosen everything Nicole came through and said thanks Ian you make my job easier
This is terribly heartbreaking. Pray for fortitude moving forward. The sand belongs to the seabed and water will rest on it. One of my favorite places is no longer given sea rise and earthquakes. Change is guaranteed embrace it.
@@clisediagonzalez5051 - Not heartbreaking at all. Mankind has no business destroying dunes and building on them and these people DON'T WANT YOU ON THEIR BEACHES EITHER, SO SCREW THEM.
I was wondering how a CAT1 could cause so much damage and I noticed blue tarps so I thought it was a combination of the two storms. I live in Fort Myers Beach and we barely got anything from Nicole, thank goodness. Thoughts and orayers are sure with all us Floridians affected by these two storms. They just hit so close together not a lot of us had time to make sure our homes were structurally sound to take Nicole and like you said, Nicoles CAT1 strength was just enough to knock most structures completely down. A lot of my neighbors are not rebuilding and are heading back to the midwest or to the Carolinas. Our leadership here in Lee County has been excellent with resources and what not which has made post Ian resources simple to navigate. 🇺🇸 🙏🏽
LOL🤣Expert......ever heard of a combination of.......smh..
The State of Florida should condemn and teardown everyone of them and restore it all back to its natural Habitat!!!
No cuz all those maga republican are living there put a wall up and cut it off from America
@@timboc105 2.5 million people moved to Florida for freedom idiot it was all crazy white maga nut jobs hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
@@timboc105 hahaha hahaha hahaha those people from California came to ur retarted state cuz the house burned down do to climate change hahaha hahaha hahaha
Stop it I am under age
The state of Florida is a corporation and has no authority or jurisdiction to tear down anyone's house. You statist are insane.
Wow!
That pool dangling on the edge was trippy!
I can't imagine my beautiful house half in the ocean and half on land. Hoping no one was inside at the time!
If you look close it had anchors that held in the ground but the rest of the ground washed away, you build a pool on real land they don't bury anchors in 20 feet down!
I do not feel bad for people building million dollar homes on top of sandbars in hurricane prone areas. Its dumb and i wonder why insurance companies keep insuring these houses. Restore the land immediately along the coast to its natural state. Building properties at least a mile inland. Use the land close to the beach for temporary stores/food trucks.
Never build at high tide. Don't build on barrier islands. Now everyone knows the power of water
Beautiful mother nature taking back her land.
so close to the water no good to build just blink of and eye gone instant
"Castles made of sand falls into sea eventually" Jimi Hendrix
To think that the people on the other side of the street will have the same issues in years to come.
I have no sympathy. Build on a strong foundation…it’s the key to life. Anything on any coast, anywhere is going to be in the ocean soon. Worthless homes on unsteady land.
People have always lived by water. They always will. Deal with it.
@@SignedOff402 living by water is one thing, living next to an ocean, quite another.
No sympathy? There's a term for this attitude 🤣
@@Magnetron33 do tell that to the millionaires and billionaires who ALL have multiple homes including at least one seaside.
You know it can't last forever, but it's a sad day when it's gone.
Shocked. What happens when the entire property is lost with the GROUND and is condemned. How are the homeowners made whole with insurance as I can't see being rebuilt.
A similar thing happened here in my area but due to unstable ground due to sinkholes. Here, the county used eminent domain to force the sale of the properties which, granted, I think the owners had no issue with giving up, leveled them and fenced them off.
What led to this was a sinkhole opened under a house and a man sleeping in bed fell in and was never found again.
I imagine they will do the same thing there if the land disappears or is unstable to rebuild on or if newer regulations prevent rebuilding.
@@brian5o I'm still made sickened about that man. It has haunted me. God bless his soul.
oops, my property has disappeared!
WALLS WORK 😉
Those taller probably newer concrete seawalls did quite well accept if they were next door to a property with no seawall (where the water scooted around thru that opening and undermined the walled property).
Also , it saddens me to see so many homes so near each other, unfortunately that's a choice the areas politicians (tax and code) and real estate developers make....
Did they though? This was only a CAT1 hurricane, if it was a 3 they probably wouldn't even be there still in the video.
There's a section of the beach in Hampton Beach New Hampshire where they have placed huge big rectangle rocks and huge Boulders tight stacked along the sea walls and spread them out a little bit as they dispersed towards the ocean. And in some places they have them starting at the Seawall and then going out in rows towards the ocean. Protecting the sea walls.
@@selfesteem3447
Yes - I'm familiar with that area and those man-made barriers 👍
THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS BUILDING WALLS. They are getting EXACTLY what they deserve.
Can see the difference it makes having a good sea defence wall or barrier. Definitely not a waste of money!
This is all of Florida's coastline in 10 years...
You guys said that 20 years ago.
Looks like the sea walls made it worse for other houses
I lost most of my home in 2016 to a micro burst. It took us six months to rebuild. I feel for these people. People let’s just try and be kind for just a bit, they don’t need lectures. I feel your pain and wish you the best. As a country can we please try and be kind, caring and loving to our fellow citizens. Please try this each and every day. It cost nothing and trust me you will feel better.
I would normally agree. EXCEPT... these people are well off. Very well off. They believe their money can trump mother nature. While being well off they still have their hands out to secure funds from the public coffers (state and federal). They want the government to buy them out at the highest appraised value so they can build the same thing somewhere else. If that is not a scam then nothing is. As such they deserve the energy they put out ten fold.
The property owners & homeowners that didn't want any public access to the beach now need the taxpayers help 🤔
Should have been looking for the Blue wave instead of the Red wave.😊
Something political again huh, okay
ONE IS EVERY CROWD AND YOU WON IT.
I'm reminded of a song from my childhood, don't build your house on the sandy land, don't build it too near the shore, well, it might look kind of nice, oh you'll have to build it twice, oh you'll have to build your house once more, you gotta build your house upon the Rock, lay a firm foundation on a solid spot, well the storms may come and go but the peace of God you will know!
Amen lisa, I took a screenshot of this thank you.
If you can afford to live this close to the ocean ? You can afford to rebuild .
Probably not if they are older.
Mother Nature thinks the beach belongs to All.
As I understand it, the government backs the insurance on this crap.
no insurance should be available for building stupid places.
The government backs flood insurance, I am not sure if this exactly falls into that category though. If it doesn't, the homeowners are lucky- sort of. Their regular homeowner's insurance might cover it however I bet for some of these folks, this is their 2nd claim in 2 months meaning 2 hurricane deductibles, too and likely a non-renewal due to their claims history. It'll also likely be impossible to insure these properties in the future, too, for anyone.
Decades ago those homes were hunderts of meters away from the shoreline and they had a wide beach in between the homes and the water even a raod with parking and multiple lanes.
Scripture prove true Don't build your home upon sand it shall be washed away But build your home upon a Rock and it shall stand
I'M TOLD THAT THE WAVES ARE GOING TO GET WAY HIGHER , SO THESE PEOPLE NEED TO PACK UP & LEAVE , BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GET WAY MORE DANGEROUS IN THE FUTURE !
A high price to live a water's edge.
😮😮When Mother Nature is not happy, nobody is happy.
Build a big beautiful house on a sand dune next to the Atlantic ocean.
What could go wrong?
Wow, just wow. I hope no one didn't die or get hurt
Two people are dead , at least.
Only their wallets
These waterfront homes must be worthless now.
Here is how all seawalls may need to be affixed...
There's a section of the beach in Hampton Beach New Hampshire where they have placed huge big rectangle rocks and huge Boulders tight stacked along the sea walls and spread them out a little bit as they dispersed towards the ocean. And in some places they have them starting at the Seawall and then going out in rows towards the ocean. Protecting the sea walls.
ALL SEAWALLS NEED TO BE TORN DOWN. IT'S THAT SIMPLE AND TAKE THE HOUSES OUT AND LET THE DUNES TRY TO RESTORE THEMSELVES.
SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THE OCEAN RECOVERING HER SPACE ❤
BEFORE THE "DEVELOPMENT" ALL THAT COAST WAS A BEAUTIFUL FOREST OF MANGLAR THAT RETAINED FIRMLY ALL THE TERRAIN AND AVOID EROSION.
Really sad..hope No1 list their lives here..
Don't build homes so close to the shore line...ticking time bomb...
Watching from South africa
Wonder why this erosion doesn't seem to happen along Malibu coastline. Are there mostly rocky coastlines there?
Florida Man: I want a house on the beach.
Mother Nature: Hold my bath salts.
In all seriousness, that sucks but the entire state of FL is basically a sand bar and sand bars move. I hope in the very least none of those homeowners were hurt during the storm.
What's up with the bulldozer sitting down there?
I was wondering that myself. The only thing I can come up with is that it was property of the mob, it did something to upset the mob so they decided to feed it to the fishes.
@@brian5o So many questions about how that beast got on that beach.
I did see on the news yesterday where they were using it and it was running, there was a man on it and people were standing around it so I don't know if they left it on the beach or what? That is crazy to see just sitting there.
But it's not in the section of the beach shown in this footage where they were using it yesterday. This point where I saw them using it was where the Seawall had not Fallen and some land is still jetting out into the ocean and there are rocks protecting it so I figured that the Machinery was stacking rocks. But to see it now it's not in the same spot at all so I'm confused too. You would think that they would have driven it off the beach. I guess the sea isn't taking that thing anywhere, and they have it up as close to what is left of the shore.
All from a cat 1. It ate away at the beach. People can stand and take pictures in a cat 1 so no one should of died.
not if their bed room was facing their non existent backyard.
at one time you couldn't give beachfront property away, no one wanted it. 8.00 dollars an acre at one time for beachfront property. If you saw a structure on the beach it was a wood frame house with no power, telephone, or running water used for a hunting or fishing cabin or a getaway. Homes during these times were built for such hurricanes, low slope or flat roofs, and single story block homes with Jalousie windows. Cheap and inexpensive homes, winter homes for some, vacation homes for others, and year-round homes for most. Then came Air Conditioning! and everyone want to live or retire in Florida.
If the ocean wiped your property out, what does one own the beach? the whole peninsula is sand, does one now own the sand under the water.
when I scoped out Dog Island online a year after Hurricane Michael, yep, the lot lines are now ⅔ rds in the ocean and ⅓ rd 'beach front'.
Nothing left to rebuild on.
On or about 30 years ago I saw something on the channel Nova and I've never forgotten it. In it it was showing a prediction of what the United States map will look like in the future and Florida wasn't even on the map and bits of the United States all around we're missing. It didn't show it long enough for me to focus very long but I looked at my area which is Georgia and Florida. Georgia was still there though
@@selfesteem3447 I thought of this recently as well. Yes, there are many maps showing the future coastline. I think Edgar Cayce spoke on it and his maps are available to see. On the flipside ... much of Fla used to be underwater in the past. There are 1000's of shark's teeth in the middle of the State in the Southern ½.
@@selfesteem3447 They cannot predict what will happen..all speculation and generalizations and talking out of their behinds. If these idiots lived in 1935 when Labor Day hurricane hit the Lower Keys, they'd say the same. FL was underwater tens of thousands of yrs ago but will take virtually an eternity to go under again. By then, you'll have similar issues everywhere, not just in FL(if our species is still alive)
These events happen every year, the rich will re-build until the next storm. That's what they do.
Hummmm now you know why all of our home Insurance is so high. We pay for fools.
Best advertising for concrete beach walls!!! Should be mandatory along the beach
BEACH WALLS!!
Those yards that held appear to have well established plants or turf. How many of these homes have no home owners insurance. Florida insurance under RD has costed most out of the market. Then Ian hit and here another less than 2 months later. What has RD done to restore or help homeowners get insurance? What will he do now? He’s done nothing but badmouth the current administration, that is until he needed federal aid to step in. 🤔🙄🤷🏼♀️
Sucks when find out your 3 million dollar house aint worth 3 dollars
Ouch
So what, they deserve it. These same people that build on beaches don't what the PUBLIC to be able to use said beaches, screw them and their "loss"
I feel so sad, for all citizen in Florida
God bless them.🙏.
Is hasn't been easy pray for all of us. I am leaving in a mobile home and insure hasn't repair our roof I got scary and sad to hear about Nicole, thank you rain but it wasn't too bad.
Warmer than average sea surface temperatures definitely played a role in this
Yes because hurricanes didn't exist before muh climate change.
@@rob.3575 please state where I made that claim
Like hurricanes haven't been a thing for 100s of years 🙄 they're made by cLiMaTe ChAnGE, it told me on CNN so it must be true 🤣
LOL, when you stated “ Warmer than Average “, it’s your Snide way of saying GLOBAL WARMING, first off yeah the water is always warmer at this time of year and the Hurricane of 1938 was a category 10 on todays scale of measurement and was due to global warming before WW2, you my friend are an idiot…
The infamous pool is still standing. Wow!
I was thinking the same thing. I sure would love to know who built it, they did a great job!
When the property is so unstable that they had to put a 8+ft wall up to try to protect it, that was your wake-up call.
I can’t feel bad for you on that one.
State of Florida shouldn’t have issued building permits for that area.
Another great video. Good job.
Mother Nature is telling people not to build there. It's that simple.
What kind of drone do you use?
Wiseman built his house upon the rock. Not soft sand. No pitty. All coastal building should be heavily restricted. People with beach homes should be ready to lose it. If not today, then maybe tmrw. But your number will be drawn.
what happens to the value of those properties? basically 0?
(How did you manage to maintain VLOS over such a long traverse? Or do you have a waiver?)
I was dating a girl down there . I was going too move there. We broke up back in June 2020.. wow!! I'm glad the breakup happened...
I don't believe this is from the storm.
why would anyone be allowed permission to build that close to the sea.. it should be at least 2 miles back from the front.. also the beach is for everyone to enjoy, and the chosen few should not be allowed to obstruct this in any way.
great vid thanks
Why would you buy a house there?
The foolish man builds his house upon the sand. The wise man builds his house upon the rocks. The rain comes down and floods came up and the house on the sand went splat, but the house on the rock stood firm. Build your house on the rock. Jesus.
"Breathtaking views!"
Квадрокоптер хороший такой ветер и он хорошо себя ведет.
PER the NOAA website:
Nicole never reached 75 mph sustained winds.
NOT A HURRICANE.
Change your video description.
Thank you
See walls don't work. Insurance should just pay out, only, with a written agreement that if you rebuild at that location you're uninsurable. Revert to a Beach. Eminent domain duh.
Yes seawalls do work but you have to bury huge Boulders underneath on both sides and underneath the homes and then stack on the sand to then start the foundation to build the home.
There's a section of the beach in Hampton Beach New Hampshire where they have placed huge big rectangle rocks and huge Boulders tight stacked along the sea walls and spread them out a little bit as they dispersed towards the ocean. And in some places they have them starting at the Seawall and then going out in rows towards the ocean. Protecting the sea walls.
@@selfesteem3447 WE DO NOT NEED TO BE STOPPING THE CORRECT GOD MADE FLOW OF NATURE. SO NO SEA WALLS, IT'S THAT SIMPLE. MANKIND AND HIS GREED HAS RUINED WHAT GOD MADE PERFECT
All this from category 1 Nicole ? Did Ian damage some of this area too? Sure seems like a lot of damage from a cat 1
What did it look like beforehand
How many miles? about 30 or so? There are multiple Sea Wall breaks. You cannot have like 3 Homes holding on to a failing seawall on a disappearing Barrier Island.
What were they thinking, when they built there?
I guess a swamp barely above sea level, in the path of hurricanes isn't such a great place to live after all.
Funny, that.
What a great day for nature. All you woke should feel empowered by your companionship with nature. Congrats
The one homeowner who spent the money on steel sheet piling had the right idea -- backyard was essentially untouched. Ideally the neighbours need to join in.
It's interesting that they built a wall to keep the water at bay but the water is everywhere. It's under the wall and over the wall. You just can't win this battle.
Land lords, land owners, home owners it's all the same, you own it all and turn around and cry when you get a little bit of rain and wind or whatever and suddenly they're the victims. Just rebuild, you all have the money to get where you were, so just do it again, get your insurance checks and build a house worth 10× the original price...
Such expensive real estate taken by the sea, feel so bad for those owners. 💔
They chose to live in the bullseye.
It was cheap property until the other day. Traditionally relegated to the poor. Arrid ground grows nothing.
Oh wow. That's crazy. Thanks for sharing.
Build on the “Rock of Jesus” not on “sand” of the world!
Matthew 7:24-27
Jesus said:
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Море или океан избавляется от слишком близкого знакомства с людишками которые его начали стиснять.Жаль мусора слишком много.Штраф Штраф,Штраф и много часов уборки.это будет полезно для природы и урок для людей .
Guess DeSantis has stuff to do in Florida now?
I appreciate small strips of ft Lauderdale beaches as you can have a clear view of it while driving along A1A, the big houses are on the other side of the road but as you go further north, you'll see high condos, tourist hotels and motels were built so that you can no longer see the beach. So far Ian and Nicole has spared lower east coast but seeing what happened to west coast FL and Daytona beach, the erosions will be an ever present threat. Sad to see that tourism, real estate prime location rap combined with cycles of hurricane can end up like a house of cards.
Looks like there's going to be some new beach front properties where the houses used to be!
Wow 😳 it is so extremely sad
Hard to feel bad for homes built in a very bad spot. It not like the storms are new. It's like how I don't feel bad for people doing last minute holiday shopping, umm it's been the same time each year you had 364 other days to get what you needed.
WATER, it has no enemy.
Nossa quanta casa linda sendo destruida tanta gente precisando de moradia oque está acontecendo nesse mundo
No home should be on the beachfront. Open for all to see. Oh well. Its life.
this isn't Daytona Florida doesn't have mountains --like seen in the background
Удивляюсь людям которые цены повышают возле моря или океана. Удачной покупки )
И на таких найдутся дураки))
Matthew 7:24
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
I was going to say who the heck builds a house on sand but your way was much more eloquent
Even the Bible tells us not to build on sand.
Nicole did more wide spread coastal damage possibly more than ian and Nicole was weaker storm.
The high cost of buying water front property is just the start of the money pit. To think none of those people were smart enough to see this coming. I would not build within 30 feet of a creek let alone an ocean.
One day a Category 4-5 is going to hit Miami and it’s going to be biblical.
