I've got an idea, don't build right on the beach. There should be a 1 mile set back for ALL building. It used to be that there was natural vegetation that formed a protective barrier for these storms. But crooks and developers plowed all that under and made a concrete desert where there was once a lush, beautiful beach. The whole coast of Florida, both east and west, is so ugly and destroyed with high rise condos. It's heart breaking what these developers have been allowed to do. But no doubt they'll take our money (the tax payers) to cover their losses and rebuild just as it was before....again and again and again.
@@alexb3935 maybe there should be no building on the barrier island at all?? Wasn't it made by the Army Corp of Engineers to protect the mainland from storms?
Right on spot all mangroves were buried under those ugly towers. Now nature wants her mangroves back. Mangroves are a natural marvel hosting birds, shrimps, fishes and keeping shores from eroding.
What did they expect ? They lived on san dunes. Definition of a dune is that is built by" wind," or "water driven sand" and have large silt content. yah silt a great element to build upon.
I feel for anyone that has lost their homes. But man there is many more of these areas that are ticking future time bombs. It's always build as close as possible but nothing about planning for that one destructive storm season. The Feds already pay a lot for ongoing beach restoration in Florida.
I don't want my money bailing out rich people who live on the beach. You take a big gamble buying there and you need to deal with your losses. When the hurricanes went through in 2003 (Jean, Frances, Charlie, Irma) my friend lived in a modest inland home that was destroyed. She had a heck of a time getting money from the insurance company or finding a contractor to fix the house but meanwhile the wealthy folks on Hutchinson Island were getting their payouts and FEMA money pronto.
The problem is not nature it is the mentality displayed by these two. Just build farther back, oh but wait there is another body of water 100 yards inland from the coast. Perhaps next year those two bodies of water will become one.
Sad...but these properties were built to near the sea. How come the planning authority would give permission for these structures to be constructed in these danger zones?

Hey, lets put down 4 inches of concrete on the top of the sand, and put a house on it as close to the water as possible! If anything happens, we'll just blame the City for it..
THOUSANDS years?? Are you kidding MILLIONS YEARS AGO was the same but people they didn't look for a secand home by the water THEY go comping ,fishing and enjoy the forest 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I lived in the Fort Lauderdale to Delray Beach area of South Florida for 50 years. Every time a hurricane threatened you would hold your breath. I saw it and you did firsthand working in Florida city area afterwards but I’ve never seen anything like this The ocean is constantly trying to reclaim the shoreline and we constantly renourish the shoreline
A lesson here, for years and, years scientist have been warning people about the rise in our oceans! But nobody is lisening! So mother nature took back her beach! And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying too sound disrespecful but, it's only going to get worse! Just sayin!😉
It’s shocking to me that people are shocked this is happening. What do you expect? When you build on sand/beach on the ocean in a hurricane path this is so predictable. Complete stupidity.
Towns and builders are both culprits here. Towns want the added real estate tax revenue. And builders want to market the proximity to the water and the fantastic views. The lost people are the buyers who pay exorbitant amounts in monthly condo fees. Then come the annual special purpose capital fees that are never known until a building wide need arises. I hate condos. Just going to a meeting drove me nuts enough to sell and move into a house. Now I'm my own master and commander.
Who could have imagined that a house built on sand might collapse???? Who could have known that it definitely WOULD collapse??? These people are shooting nature the bird and being shot when Mother Nature responds.
Stop waisting your time and breaths. They won't listen. 🙄 Will pay for Ocean Front Suites and then be shocked when in bad weather their rooms flood because they did not want to move to an Ocean View or another hotel.
Lot of these buildings were buildings just like the condo collapse a year ago and which they were facing major repair bills and they never did them so they probably paid off the inspector to have these buildings declared insurance damage pretty convenient for these Honda owners facing those big bills hey
End of an era. Now comes the retranchment and mitigation era USA can't afford these threatened touritsy cities. They will have to be abandoned asap for ever as water is coming with a revenge to take what was her. Florida RIP. Welcome to Pensylvania and North Dakota etc.
Insurance companies should not write policies for anything withen a mile of the ocean. That would stop all development. You cannot stop mother nature. I don't feel sorry for the homeowners - anyone buying on the water will someday be in the water!
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to save those buildings since not enough is being done to prevent climate change and rising seas. In the past the Daytona beach shoreline used to be expansive and the water was far away from affecting anything. Other cities like Miami are having to install pumps just to handle normal high tides etc.
They built on sand not solid land. How can they be surprised that the ocean is moving around and taking the sand away ? Move to the desert, we have lots of sand. When you want to see the ocean, take a picnic basket.
Why re build....relocate...a better safe areas....Florida is facing to the deepest vast Pacific ocean....climate change STRONG typhoons developed in this ocean.......
“I’m going to continue to fight for my community…trying to get someone to help us.” There must be someone who can help her out. Shouldn’t take much. A few days at most. Just replace the earth lost, put in some two by fours to shore the building up. Better than new. In no time, they’ll be back to living the good life right on a Florida beach.
Bill W, by far,“ best comment award.” Her added touch of “ trying to get someone to help us “, is the cherry on top. P. S. Could probably get by with 1 x4’s and save a few bucks.
The should do as the as the Venetian's did when they fled from barbarians. They drove a type of wood into the ground that petrified over, and over and over and over into the lagoons to create the foundations they sit on now. Mind you this was 5th century! With today's technology we should be able to figure this out and make it last! We need to become clever something old, something new, something borrowed, and something never though of. The worst part is the flooding and erosion. I'm a born and raised Floridian of Venitia /Napolitano, and Viking ancestry. We [they] did amazing things to survive back then. We need some serious minds brainstorming to figure out a few different approaches to prevent this from happening anymore. It is way past time! 🙏 🙏 🙏 We gotta go Waterworld on this!
I can't believe people were trying to add mitigating precautions and some were delayed by PERMITTING issues???? Those people at City Hall would know my name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💩
Maybe building on the beach naturally isnt a good idea. I learned that as a kid with sand castles. Good luck affording insurance in the future though. Also living in a high rise with no seawall, cmon....
It’s more than “bailing out rich people”, this has grown into a tourist industry that supports a huge part of the south’s economy. And no one is expecting a government bail out. What’s needed is organisation. Someone with authority (Governor?) to coordinate efforts of insurance, engineering, construction to deal with this.
Wow, that building is nearly lost to ocean erosion. The sea is beating the hell out of that beach and the building is next. Is this place even worth saving? My feeling is that, sooner or later, but within 20 years, the sea will take it. We should know better than to build that close to the water. They've been fighting the same battle, and losing, in places along the opposite coast in California, for decades. Nature bats last, my peeps, and insurance will never cover it all.
So no engineer reports done before building? Or are the reports just ignored by those giving out building permits? Anyone think maybe cash kickbacks are involved?
How about people who were away when this happened, and any pets that might be inside, and starving/dehydrating. Let owners in to collect pets and belongings on low tide, non-windy non-stormy days.
😮😮What is next? Have the house checked for entry to remove personal items , then tear it down. It is sad, but a house built on sand is doomed to fail. 😢 😢
Why does planning allow people to build that close to the sea... it's inevitable this would happen ...just a matter of time. there should not be any structure within a 2 mile radius of the sea

Most of those buildings should be safe. They were built on pilings just for this reason. The biggest problem is the concrete eroding from saltwater
Why didn't they get beach erosion insurance? Because it doesn't exist? And you still bought property next to a beach?
