I am a photographer who often does beach shoots right there. I thinkI met this reporter on pier a couple weeks ago when out shooting. I am at Frenchies or Palm Pavillion across the parking lot weekly to listen to music after a shoot. As a retiree, I will volunteer for a few of those favorite businesses to help.
Is there any reason to think that this storm surge event will not happen again in the next 10 years and probably even worse? How many recent close calls were there before this eventuality. Are people going to rebuild with that in mind and harden their properties somehow for the next event?
Every reason to believe it will happen next year again. This is the new normal. Unless the Gulf waters cool off, any hurricane coming through there will rapidly accelerate in speed and force.
I watched this YT Video on a guy who moved to Clearwater from New York in 2021 during the MASS movement to Florida. "You don't have to shovel Sunshine" Now you're shoveling sand?
Median home price in Clearwater Beach is $843,500. Some the sand got moved around and there is light damage to a few structures. Mostly surge related damage to homes. I'm pretty sure they will recover quickly. As winter approaches snowbirds will be flocking down to Fl. It behooves them to prepare for the crowds coming in from Canada and colder regions up north. DOES NOT in anyway compare to what happened in Asheville North Carolina where many people lost their lives.
My home flooded with 2 feet during idalia and with Helene 4 to 5 feet. I'm done and the only way I'd stay is to start with a clean slate building 10 feet off the ground with nothing on the ground area but concrete pilings. That said I'm doing nothing for the foreseeable future! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Prior to these storms the home hadn't been flooded by surge but it's obvious to me that things have changed.
Perils of livivg and owning business near the ocean its devastating and sad . And this isn't the first storm that wipe out structures and it wont be the last but people are still going to rebuild just to have it happen again and again time to move away from the water or out of Florida all together but if you have the money to waste on getting your home or business back in order just for it to get destroyed again then so be it ...its your money but its not worth the heartache..
Seriously....it's a tourism industry and these are old businesses. Put your self absorbed ego away. So selfish. Thought you lot didn't believe in Climate Change ?
God bless these resilient people.
Thank you for reporting on the north end.

It can happen in the next month or the next 100 years. No one knows. But to your point, it will probably happen again.
They should. When my town in jersey got hit with sandy, all homes had to be rebuilt raised 15 feet up.

Be strong and we will get this place back to normal!
Build back better (higher and wind armored) - because the warm water charging up these storms isn’t going anywhere.

Stop building on the beaches!!!
@@oli-v1j They are spending 50+million on Clearwater marina alone.
Would building on stilts be a solution for beach front living?

Facts
It's a gamble..and the house didn't win
Clearwaters been on that long road since they found their church.
Hopefully heavy rains help push the sand back to the ocean!!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I heard for the first time the words torm surge in 2013 where tacloban was devastated
Did the marina get taken down
God bless and help all you people effected by the hurricane
All the more evidence why not to build residential or business structures on shores and riverbanks. And again, tax payers will bail them out.
Most of the time, it's the insurance that is paying... unless then scam you...

I am sure there are renters... and I do not want to help drug addicts who rent. Not all are bad, but there are some bad people who live in Clearwater
OH NO!! 😮who put the ocean there? Criminal
How little do they know about Hurricane Milton that will slam into them next and be worse.
Rebuilding to have a 93% chance it will happen again....😅
No one is safe from any natural disasters.
