My in-laws previously owned one of these properties seen in the video. When it was first built there were 300to 400 yards of land behind it, over 60 years it has all been taken by the sea.
It is happening in California and other places too. I am amazed that it happened there with so much, so quickly, my sympathies go out to the homeowners, but at least none of those in Norfolk have perished. You can replace a house, but you can't replace a soul.
Beautifully written.
Covehithe and Benacre will erode away
It’s so sad bc I remember sliding down the dunes and walking down the path and wanting one of those properties 😢
Decades ago someone said, "Oh, look beach front property. Let's build a home 200 ft back." Bad idea. If you could go back many years you'd see a coastline probably miles farther out.
Well, you wanted a sea view!.🏄♂️
Beloved Norfolk....you are in our prayers ...your American cousins . Much 💘 love to you!!
I guess no one ever noticed that oceans have been wearing down shorelines for millions of years, huh?
If "millions of years" was true, then all the land would be washed into the ocean by now.
@@D-RAIL_oOIIIIIIIOo Oceans have historically been much higher than they are today. We're simply eroding land that used to be under water during previous glacial periods.
Did i miss the houses falling? Where was that? 😂
Foolish is the man who builds his home upon sand.
They have had maps of that Hemsby area since the 1600s! Why, when they know waves pounding against cliffs can cause erosion, would they build houses there? The same thing has happened where I used to live on the Coastside below San Francisco. I moved before it happened, but some apartments right above where I used to live right on the ocean, eroded to the extent they had to evacuate and now, they are probably gone!
The ocean is very powerful, and with icebergs melting in the north due to global warming, the volume of the ocean increases. Of course add weather to that and there are going to be negative reactions on earth! I moved two states away and I miss the ocean but I am enjoying the mountains now.
The sea levels have risen about 8 inches in 120 years which frankly isn't really enough to make a meaningful dent in a cliff. 8 inches vertically would translate into four feet horizontally when it comes to a sand cliff. Erosion is a common thing around the world and always has been. In Wellfleet Ma where Marconi sent the first radio message to England in 1903, his station was three hundred feet from the cliff when he built it but today the cliff is now about a 100 feet west of where the station used to be. That cliff was about a quarter mile east of it's present location when the English explorer Gosnold first set eyes on it over 400 years ago. The chief cause is wave action. Currents angle the waves to carve away at the cliffs constantly. Interestingly, the western shore of Cape Cod has actually been enlarging moving west so Cape Cod isn't so much washing away as it is on a slow trek westward. In about 10,000 years there will no longer be a Cape Cod bay as Cape Cod will have merged into what we from the area call the south shore, south of Boston to Plymouth.
So sad to see. When you consider how different that coastline used to look, nobody would have thought that so much damage could have been done in such a short space of time. I used to spend childhood holidays in the 70’s and 80’s in a bungalow on Kings Loke. I do hope it’s still standing?
Great flying there mate so sad mate brilliant vid great job don 🤠🇬🇧👌👌👌👌👌
The same thing is happening in California, USA.
They are falling, just very very slowly. It's shocking how slow they are falling.
So slowly in fact that nobody noticed it so they built houses there completely unaware that those houses one day would be washed into the ocean.
pressed 'like' for the film..not peoples home being drowned
As kids playing on the beach we built sand castles or dug a trench. Gee what happened when the water came. At one time they would tell visitors " look at view ". This has nothing to do with GW. Mother nature pure and simple. Over the centuries the land stretch out miles. It will keep going until it hits rock. Your neighbors on the other side of str will be gone one-day.
I know ! I will build my house on sand next to the North Sea. What could go wrong ?
All those memories... so sad for the residents
The UK has lost 60% of its land mass in the past 20,000 years, let that sink in.
It says horrifying homes falling.. didn't see any.someof u guys are to hungry for view s instead of truth .. s Jackson
Can be expected really when you choose to live on a Sand Dune.
Very sad our beautiful coast
Utter stupidity sticking homes on soft sandstone
I want to see pictures of it before and then after
How was this 5 years ago
This is not a rare occurrence where people build houses on the top of a hill made of sand or mud next to the ocean. The most extreme case I have heard of is at the Cape Cod National Seashore. When I was a child over 50 years ago we were planning a field trip to Marconi Station, a historic site where Marconi sent the first radio message to England where he had another station. My grandfather, a radio enthusiast who was a radio operator in the Great War told me to take lots of pictures. He had visited the station as a child and told me that when he was little you could hear the crackling of the giant antenna for miles. He described it as a huge tower on four legs. So when I went we found that the tower was gone and there were two concrete pads where two of the legs would have been. The other two pads had fallen over the cliff years before. When I told my grandfather, he said that was impossible as the station was about three hundred feet from the cliff and that either I was lying or we didn't go to the real station. I didn't have the heart to show him the booklet I bought that told about how the station had begun to fall over the cliff due to erosion. Today it is completely gone and the cliff is now about a hundred or so feet west of where it was when I was a kid. I recently spoke to a geologist who did a survey on Cape Cod about 30 years ago and he informs me that the cliff has moved more than a quarter mile west since Gosnold first sailed around Cape Cod over four centuries ago. Similar sand cliffs in California have recently washed into the Pacific Ocean taking dozens of homes with them. Actually I think that has been going on for a few decades. And people still build their homes on sand cliffs and bluffs on the ocean. Nice view but not very permanent.
Some government official needs to talk with the Danes and learn how they handle matters. Oh, I forgot, collecting property taxes are their main concern!
I saw homes hanging on but none falling off. What’s with that?👎
Oh no the seas where very bad in Cromer as well Hemsby was probably the worst poor them
Just think, if there were famous people there with expensive houses the government would then pay out for defenses. But because the value of everything is classed as lower than the cost of defenses the government will do nothing.
We have technology that can slow this. It's too late for the houses at the edge but the next row behind them may see an extra 50 years of use if they put erosion barriers in place. In the US we pile bounders up at the base of the cliff. This dramatically reduces the waves from washing into the base of the cliff which undermines those cliffs. The second thig that is done is covering the exposed part of the cliff with large rubber nets. They are ugly as hell though but will extend the useful life of a cliff home. I would also suggest that when the edge of a cliff gets within two hundred feet of the back your home perhaps it's time to pick up the home and put it on an empty lot further from the cliff. Perhaps behind the homes that are next. Then when the cliff edge gets too close to those homes repeat the process. At least the structures and their contents won't be lost. Or another idea is just don't attempt to build a permanent structure at that location. Perhaps just a nice motorhome. Then you can simply roll it away from the edge as the edge moves inland.
"Do not build your house upon the sand."
Well, they did build their houses upon sand.
Can’t they build a reinforced rock wall or something?
They went past everybody else to get closer. Nothing changed
as nobody else is any closer. This is Darwinian, Be proud and
remember how it happened.
Why so much attention NOW?
Didn't see any homes falling
Drone footage of aftermath only.
Just take all California.
What song is it?
Sounds a lot like Einaudi.
Music to cut your wrists to
Country Boy. Real music, then.
A travesty the government needs to act ...fast ...if It was another country or county which needed the money it would be there ...it’s not fair ... we are Norfolk people and deserve to be recognised in times of this serious issue ..hearts go out to the great people of hemsby 🙏🏻😔😷
the government is not here to fix peoples bad decisions, solve your own problems be pro-active ie. dont live next to a force of god beating on your front yard
Build your house on the rock of Jesus for a house built on sand should wash away . 🙄
Amen
Solid foundation cannot be destroyed.
You need a Weather Whisperer.
Investing in propery that close to cliffs is money down the drain. No use complaining.
Oh play me the teeniest tiniest little violin in the world.
What idiot would build their home on a shaky cliff?
I guess a millionaire
Well it was a stupid area to build a home anyways.
HOLLAND IS LAUGHING AT US!!!
Pretty soon they will be house boats!
These people built their foundations on sand what did they expect to have happened
Misleading title, baiting viewers, tacky af.
A bíblia diz temos que alicerçar nossa casa na rocha e não na areia onde as águas vem e acaba com tudo.
We do not own the Earth. The Earth owns us.
Well they wanted a sea view now they've got it
Why can they not pour concrete all along this slope on top of reinforcement ?... or even wooden pilings....that is land owned by humans along the top & then the next row is in peril if they just let this first row fall in ??? Seems stupid to just let it happen.
Sadly nature put it there and now nature is taking it back
Click bait. What houses falling off what cliffs. Liar.
Several have gone. They fell into the sea during a storm and others had to be demolished. It’s no lie. ..www.edp24.co.uk/news/environment/marrams-homes-have-been-pulled-down-in-hemsby-1-5449641
I live in hemsby
Ummm, sand dunes. It's gonna happen.
Zephaniah 1:13 King James Version (KJV)
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
Religion has nothing to do with it! Planet Earth is a very active planet and has had MANY destructive events here in the last 4, 1/2 billion years, including 5 mass extinctions! Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, landslides, and sinkholes are just a few of what happens here on earth! It's just humans have only been here a short time compared to the many years these events have happened! Of course, now, everyone has a camera and we will see many more humans die as everyone reaches for their cell-phone before they even think of aiding the victims! Such is society today!
The end😉😊🤗
Clickbait 👎
Whereas in the Netherlands...... all of this is due to inaction by successive governments - you have a vote - use it.
Liar.
The fact that we as humans aren't the cause of it... Cause we r usually the cause of things 😎🤔😂
The bible say foolish man built his house on sand or something like that instead of a Rock which is the Lord Jesus Christ
Shocking drone footage of homes falling off cliffs? :S NOT TRUE, there is non falling down! Click bait Thumbs down!!
Was this NOT predictable ? . Schould NATUREs LAWs NOT apply to You ?. MORONs ..................
If they weren't white folk, they'd get help beyond belief. Even if they only said they lived there.
Well, you wanted a sea view!.🏄♂️
