Wow, this is a fantastic illustration of how a sea wall can provide major protection for you home. And we can see some were protected with a buildup of big boulders.
Sea walls don't last. Like someone said it deflected the water to the sides but it also goes down. Eating at the walls base. So then you really expect once the neighbors home we is gone the waves won't get behind the wall and take you out. But see you pay, Beach renurishment and insurance spikes.
Don't build your house on sand, unless you can afford to lose it. These barrier islands are nothing but sand, that builds and diminishes over time. Choices and consequences.
Iv lived in New Smyrna Bch my whole life and have never seen anything like this and iv been through many hurricanes and storms this is so sad just devastating but like Ian was lots of rain and far inland places that have never flooded we’re under water so prayers to all my neighbors here in Florida 🙏🙏
Love NS but I saw about 9 years ago how the water came into the Dunes and took the land facing the lighthouse. You could no longer walk around to the fishing jetty. Time to move to 2500 feet.
My friend got take a look at plymouth rock dated 1620 it was right on the edge of the ocean then and it is still right on the edge of the ocean 400 years later not under water. a hurricane doesnt prove squat about long term sea levels
It's called a seawall. Often times homeowners don't want to spend the money to put up a seawall to protect their property. The homeowner with the seawall is thanking the heavens that he spent the money for the seawall.
Don’t matter how much money you got You got enough to pay off Mother Nature to leave you alone?? I think not She don’t play Battering after battering will soon deplete the money bags or ya get wise and build a little farther away from mean oceans What needs to be done is Visit the ocean, enjoy the ocean, then leave your footprints behind!!
Meanwhile all their neighbors across the street are happy that they are about to have beachfront homes. Maybe just one more big storm to clear out that row of houses currently on the waterfront.
@@trapmuzik6708 That's the risk you take when buying beachfront. My dad lives on a river there and his house got flooded; gotta live with the choices you make.
The most expensive homes are always the first to go during a hurricane. It’s all about that view huh? Rich folks amaze me but I hope everyone makes it out and rebuilds… hopefully more inland.
@@ijnet9247 yep! Sure seems that way. People want to live next to water. I’ve seen some places so close to the ocean it scares me. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
seawalls work. But if you go to city hall to get a permit to shore up after Ian, it would probably be denied. Too bad the newsy people aren't telling "the REST of the story," mother nature is just one part.
Some of those houses were from the 60s and weren't so near the ocean when they were built. Eight inches of sea rise since then brought the ocean to their doorsteps, especially during high tides and storms.
Well why do you live where you live? Because you can afford to. And these folks can afford to live in their piece of paradise. Guess what people, since the beginning of time, have lived near the water. It’s not a new concept.
On a more positive note the street behind these homes will now have beachfront property. I wonder how the two nuclear reactors on Hutchinson island (a small barrier island near St Lucie)are doing with this storm further south on this Atlantic side of FL. Owned and run by FPL AND BUILT IN 1976.
This is just the beginning - it's going to get a LOT worse. I don't know what these people were expecting, building on cliffs right above the ocean - maybe they weren't paying attention. Scientists have been predicting this for over 20 years. Too bad, but like someone below said, most of these people can afford to relocate or whatever. Those I really have sympathy for are indigenous people living on shallow coastlines and islands, especially in the Pacific. They have no money and nowhere to go.
I watch the channel "seal rescue Namibia" and I think about all those seals and other wildlife that will be suffering from all of the mess that went into the ocean during Ian and this one, and of course this isn't anything new, imagine the tsunamis that have occurred. Just to actually see it actively happening. And of course my heart goes out all to the people who are suffering these disasters. Prayers.
I look at this and think to myself..........."and people are still moving to Florida"........"and when the ocean levels rise 3-4 inches"......."and people still want to move to Florida?"
How does the homeowners insurance work for people who live where storms and bad weather is a regular thing. 🤔 how many times can you have damage or total loss and have adequate coverage!
I would move further inland to a higher elevation, they appear to be on a low peninsula at 10 -14 feet above sea level, what type of building codes do they have there?
Most countries have a wide road and trees between the ocean and the houses where people can enjoy the view, not in Florida the view is only for those who can afford millions dollars houses and condos.
Maybe, however its the constant barage of waves and swirling water that will just keep on rebuilding the sandbar. Will never stop The oceans don’t make sandbars to build on
Just like Christian Prince mentioned, Matthew 7:26“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: By the way Brother, I love your channel ☕😎 and how you expose the truth.
When all houses and buildings are wiped out to a new sandbar and someone will determine that this new sandbar is a great place for an ocean front home and then it’ll be brand new for more destruction Rinse and repeat!!
Wow, look at that. All those homes are worthless now. Who would want to buy them? And just a short time ago they were each worth hundreds of thousands. Too late to sell now. Unrelated to this, but with incremental sea level rise lots of coastal Florida homes are going to become worthless in the decades ahead. Every high tide will flood the yard and eventually the house. I'd cash out before it's too late. .

The government should not allow building along the coastline. There should be a few yard setback to avoid this tragedy & to allow people to enjoy the coastline.
Many areas in the US are already blessed with having natural barrier islands. The trick is, keeping developers from building 🏢 on them 😉 Dubai has money to burn, America wastes it's money.
That strip of land is a barrier island. The government should quit selling flood insurance on homes build on islands like this. If Florida wants allow it, let their taxpayers pay for it. No federal tax dollars.
That Seawall on the one house was CERTAINLY worth every penny it cost!
It’s only on borrowed time - enough to move out any important possessions.
@@FR-tb7xh .... it will hold thru the storm and then repairs , if needed, can be done. It's a pretty stout wall
Only a matter of time, the wall isn't keeping that sea at bay for too long. It was already close to jumping over with JUST a trop storm.
@@bryandamkaer3646 Resistance to Mother Nature - living on fluid sand next to a raging ocean - is futile. 😉
It was only a Cat 1. Anything higher probably wouldn't have sustained the Pressure
Never understood people purchasing homes in these locations, especially since we always have hurricane seasons in florida.
I think it's aptly named that they named their college football team one of them the Miami hurricanes it seems to fit
Right
If the home is built since 2002 then the house would have been built to the current and best code so it would still be standing, like the one house.
@@smoknn77 some life. 👏👏👏
@@smoknn77 Please enlighten me on how having a life would make it so I'd purchase one of those homes, when they're so prone to hurricane damage.

Looks like that pool is ready to go for a swim.
Wow, this is a fantastic illustration of how a sea wall can provide major protection for you home. And we can see some were protected with a buildup of big boulders.
That sea wall is holding on, with just the trop storm. It isn't holding anything back when the REAL Cat 2+ storms hit
It protected the one house but directed the power of the water to the houses on either side.
Sea walls don't last. Like someone said it deflected the water to the sides but it also goes down. Eating at the walls base. So then you really expect once the neighbors home we is gone the waves won't get behind the wall and take you out. But see you pay, Beach renurishment and insurance spikes.

It’s crazy how this proves Florida is gonna be under water in the future. This is just the early stages
Florida already was underwater.
And will be again rinse and repeat

I live close. In hudson but the opposite side of 19. I hate being on the coast. Im not from fl and im not built for hurricanes
I like florida somewhat but i miss VA
They weren’t close when they were built, but then climate change 🤷♀️
I live 4 miles inland and I don’t mind driving to the beach when I feel the need to go.
Meanwhile all their neighbors across the street are happy that they are about to have beachfront homes. Maybe just one more big storm to clear out that row of houses currently on the waterfront.
They're probably wondering how long it will be before it's their homes. Especially without the protection of the ones in front.

Pray for the people over there
We all need the prayeers🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍
Praying for these families. Unfortunately this is the gamble you take when building in these areas.
Unfortunately, we all pay for the recovery through federal funds that will go there for rebuilding.
I think the damage was worse than expected.
Never underestimate a hurricane. I was wiped out with a cat 1 and it was not on the water..
So sad. They got Ian and now with high tides and a cat 1. Devastating for these families. Praying for all they lost.

No more building along the coast. It will save lives.

Well brian, because it's beautiful and some of these homes have been there doing just fine since the last 50 years, so it was okay for a while.
Same, Brian. Same.
Some of those houses were from the 60s and weren't so near the ocean when they were built. Eight inches of sea rise since then brought the ocean to their doorsteps, especially during high tides and storms.

Looking forward to the lunatic interviews: "We will rebuild!" For God's sake, folks.
That's what happens when you GOT TO BE so close to the water!!
and regular people are kept from the beach.... I was kind of waiting for this day...
Prayers out they did not even bounce back from Ivan
In Mississippi on the gulf coast,it's so calm, maybe being so far away from that part of Florida.
I’m sure they are wiping away their tears with dollar bills
Build any kind of structure right on the shoreline of an ocean. What could possibly go wrong?

WALS WILL NOT STOP The Creation !
How does the homeowners insurance work for people who live where storms and bad weather is a regular thing. 🤔 how many times can you have damage or total loss and have adequate coverage!
The National Park Service needs to take possession of strategic barrier islands with no further residential construction permitted.
I would move further inland to a higher elevation, they appear to be on a low peninsula at 10 -14 feet above sea level, what type of building codes do they have there?
Don’t know but there’s one code missing from the code book
Don’t build so close Lol
🤯 seeing this in person is unreal. I'm sad about our beaches and all the homes lost.
Why in the world would you build your house so close to the ocean fully aware that the ocean is capable of destroying your house?
Those Areas were very dangerous!!!!
Most countries have a wide road and trees between the ocean and the houses where people can enjoy the view, not in Florida the view is only for those who can afford millions dollars houses and condos.
The Bible speak about building your house upon the sand when the rain comes you know what will happen
The power of water is unbelievable
How’s the property value looking?
You think that all the hurricanes that hit Florida, people would be smarter and not build homes on the waterfront. Hope everyone is safe.
Over development of the area and the removal of the sand dunes have dire consequences.
And this isn't even a big storm.
Maybe, however its the constant barage of waves and swirling water that will just keep on rebuilding the sandbar. Will never stop
The oceans don’t make sandbars to build on
Ian caused 90% of the damage in Daytona areas
That is Wilbur by the Sea another town south of DB fyi, have you seen the lauderdale by the sea pier cut off?
One home with a sea wall. I guess the rich aren't so smart.
I always say that they have more dollars than sense.
They will get insurance money....
But its only a weak Category 1!
Wow... there is NO rebuilding many of those homes, unless you want a house built on a pier.
Oh my goodness 😮😢
Kudos to the sea wall peeps! Their “rainy day” investment proved how valuable it is!
And how expensive it is to fix and replace
That ground under them is like jello now.
Just like Christian Prince mentioned, Matthew 7:26“But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

I don't understand why living close the ocean is so expensive. Thats got to suck.
Is this down towards Ponce Inlet?
yikes on 1:40mark. That house now precariously cantilevered over the crumbling coast & swimming pool shell now resting on the shore.
Hey....just keep building on the coast! Great idea! When will they learn?

A CATEGORY 1 DID THAT??? DAYUUMMM!!!
No Mother Nature did that
No IAN did this a month ago, nobody paid attention because of the damage it did in Fort Meyers. Go back and look at the news
Sad. Barely a month to recover from the last hurricane.
Sadly some people build their houses on sand
Reminiscent of when TS Elena hung off the west coast of Florida for 3 days on Labor Day Weekend, 1985, and ate away at the beach the same way
