- “Right now, there are giant chunks of pools just sitting in the sand in the ocean.” Several homes on the Daytona Beach area coastline in Florida have collapsed. Wilbur by the Sea homes are hanging and falling onto the Volusia County beach they overlook. Seawalls were weakened six weeks before Tropical Storm Nicole by the effects of Tropical Storm Ian.

It's kinda obvious why we shouldn't live so close to the beach !
I've lived in Florida for 56 years (40 in Fernandina Beach) It's nothing you can do with the Ocean. A hurricane will do damage and it is sad to say but if you have your life you are blessed, you can always get stuff. That has been my mindset fleeing from hurricanes through shelter or leaving the state to be safe. You never know if you will have a home but at least you have your life and family.
For more than half a century, living so close to the shorleine in the US and Canada has not been a huge problem. Sadly those days may be coming to an end! This summer may have seen the fewest hurricanes in a while but Fiona, Ian and Nicole sent a message of destruction in FLA, Puerto Rico and Atlantic Canada.
Huh??? Its always been an issue. The problem now is overpopulation with too many morons thinking its ok to build in dangerous areas.
And I'm guessing the taxpayers have to clean all this mess up not the homeowners
@@abelflores1593 absolutely. Those of us who make educated decisions as to where to build, buy or live have to pay for the dopes who think its a good idea to live on the coast or in flood zones.
I'de like to see a before phots. It's amazing that the sea came up that much toward the homes.

Looks like the steel barrier doesn't work. Maybe the shape of the ocean floor is a little different right there, too.
That wasn't steel, it's a composition fiberglass and was ripped off at the base where it's missing.
Yeah, Sand Dunes move Folks, not wise to plant a house on them.
Number ONE reason not to buy beach front property!
Exactly....
Been saying that for years.
Its not smart
The view is stunning though....
Only the elites can afford it and the hurricane insurance.
Note to self: do not build a house on the sand.
If you live in Florida all the homes are built on sand.
@@marknolan4599 I don't live in Florida and be my guest to build on sand.
In the 1970s we were told this could happen in 50 years are so.🤔
50 years is here 😢😊
@Yosef Binyamin Not by real scientist.
We would laugh at the bs. A ice age takes thousands of years to metabolism.
@@billyjoesmo8251 I've seen a foot of ice happen overnight in Minnesota , ice ages can happen quickly depending on solar cycling.
@@douglashurd8652 Ice Age is one and a half degrees Celsius cooler than normal we are well over 3 degrees Celsius warmer than normal at this point
@@billyjoesmo8251 Florida was underwater 10,000 years ago before the industries began. Volcanic emissions run these cycles along with more compressed in time solar sun flare cycles , some 500 year others longer .
Unbelievable, so sorry this has happened to all of you, you work hard to have a lifestyle, and to have this happen, just heartbreaking.
Many of these buildings were built for rental income, not to live in for the owners. The shores should be for everyone and for wildlife that needs it to survive. Build far away from the dunes.
I agree, anywhere in the US, no one should of been allowed to put any building on a barrier island, but they r all ruined now, do to GREED,but the government let people do it, so I do feel badly to lose things your worked so hard for, and they will have 10's of thousands out of pocket expenses and some will not have that kind of money ......
Sorry? Seriously??? They asked for this by building there. Just had to have that view, i hope it wqs worth it...
Edom's honeymoon is definitely over in America! God kept his promise that he would stretch out his mighty hand upon Edom. God said he would make Edom most desolate. Indeed it is!
Whatever makes you feel good , lmao 🤣
Meu Deus? Que tristeza.. .!
Damn...the power and force of those waves just ate thru all of that concrete...😱👀🤑
Many people dont realize but this is just a small percentage of homes lost to the hurricanes this year in Volusia county. Thousands of us lost our homes to flooding from Ian. Now the beach homes in DBS and WBTS have been affected.
The media is ONLY showing the beach.
Maybe they need to take a trip to Galveston Texas! We have a sea wall that works!
That's how ya do it .
It's happening from key west to Jacksonville and prom Panama city Beach to Miami. Sea level rise has is now really starting to take a toll on Florida and this is just the beginning smh. Thanks a lot to all the deniers well there's no denying it anymore.
Did you see ANYONE actually doing ANYTHING other than take pictures?
Speeding on a electric bike in the Salt water scattering Beach walkers is all part of it .
That's what you get by building/buying a home on the beachfront.
the dirt is so soft just gone in instant
It looks the houses with the walls got little damage.
Most of these home where built after 1984 and had very poor or no sea walls. This is what happens when you build on vacant beach front....you get property damage.
Shocking to see
These events are all providing valuable case studies for engineering students. Even the seawalls an individual property owner can build did not hold up. water went under and around them, still undermining the foundation despite the structure is still in place. Still a total loss according to any inspector . if you cannot elevate and push back your dwelling enough to where you leave at least 8 additional feet for rising tides, this is always the result. in the NE, after Sandy, building codes were all changed and you could Not rebuild unless you followed the code exactly. Time to realize nature is just taking back what was hers. look at geo mapping of sea levels and where shorelines were over the last few hundred years and you will see so many coastal areas that WEre underwater
this has nothing to do With the tropical storm, the Coastal Erosion was always there
I guess people should look at the homes that are still standing that are next to the homes that have been destroyed for examples of correct seawalls. In addition the homes that have fallen were extended to far into the beach. I have been thinking about the condos. The back wall and sides of the condo near the ocean should be sea walls in addition to a sea wall. If you observe other homes are washed out but still standing due to concrete pylons!
It might be the engineering and it might be luck. Could just be the angle the waves hit and the force in different areas that made the biggest difference.
Building on sand is foolish. Even the Bible tells us this. Sea walls only help a little. The best protection is boulder riprap. The houses with riprap on the seaside all fared better by far.
@@HappyLife-wv5ms no luck involved. The homes with riprap engineering in front survived, those without, the sand washed away.
Ocean always wins
America stands exposed
Crappy seawalls , like an old rusty gun , pretty good chance it won't defend well.
Is there any where I can bring my food trailer to feed clean up crew?
Earth has hit some pothole in the universe, this is sad to see, all the beautiful beaches are being destroyed.
They were destroyed when building was allowed on the dunes that the earth formed to protect itself. Rather than protect the environment and majority of population the government decided to get monstrous property tax revenue where there was none from beautiful beaches.
I love Florida
No different than buying in a flood zone or a tornado alley.
Not so wise to be standing in harms way
Is there anywhere I can bring my food trailer to feedclean up crews.
Why are people always making fun of Florida and hurricanes? The entire world is being affected.Look around,watch the news.OCEAN ALL AROUND THE USA
I am sure there are more homes worse than where you spend a lot.of time there videos here
Do sad but the wheel is turning
By the sea will invariably end up in the sea as evidenced in the UK well before the industrial revolution, the invention of climatologists and with few hurricanes. The USA is just possibly too young to have learnt these lessons. An average Winter of North Sea storms would have done for a lot of these places in a single year.
Yessir.
Our $ better not go to these multimillion properties! It's private property, it's their responsibility.
In 1960 hurricane Donna eroded that beach way worse , alot of those seawalls were built right after and the dead men (cables that hold wall up) rusted since , no seawall maintenance and this is the result , also a 1984 noreaster did similar erosion and the seawalls put up after that 3 day massacre actually did perfectly so climate activists think that over . It's a solar cycle .
Tell obozo to sell his mansion on the beach.
My oh my. The wickedness of the Nimrod weather manipulators. Harp, Daarp and progenitors of destruction.
Apparently Trump wanted to build a wall in the wrong place
Only for those that like illegal aliens.
Exactly
this is not the way to mix the beach please you are not doing it right
This tell ya how your homes are made an paying $200to500thousand dollars even million dollars it sad is it not
Speeding down the beach scattering walkers on a electric bike , (which is prohibited , but it's that entitlement thing ) in the Salt water surveying people's destruction. Yay , what fun .
Luckily these are all millionaires on the beach front property's they could all pull there money together and repair this
That’s the definition of insanity.
The next storms will come around probably next year or 2.
@@whatchamacallit70 you must dont know Floridians they'll be right back at it...give em a few years to bounce back from this one though,not enough manpower or supplies.
These millionaires know how to Dream their future into Fruitation...they will be okay.
GO LIVE ON THE OCEAN, THEY SAID. IT'LL BE FUN, THEY SAID.
THEY LIED...LIED, I TELL YOU!!!
Move back from the sea. It will only get worse.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!
