What are you ppl thinking, wait until you get a Cat 5, that should be enough to get you to move. If not I don't want to be hearing you on the news or be paying for you to rebuild
We just had a cat 4 and that’s why a cat 1 was so devastating. Can people not be more sympathetic to the fact that people have lost homes? Is it any different than people rebuilding in tornado alley?

This is a shame, but even Proverbs states, the fool builds his house on sand, but the wise man builds his house on rock. God bless, prayers for recovery.
Even in my lifetime, it used to be that beach houses were small and nothing fancy. Many were just shacks to sleep in and cook simple meals when you visited the beach. If they were lost to a storm then it wasn't a tragedy. Just slap up another. Now they are very expensive and large. Many are mansions. People's judgment has certainly gotten worse.
I would think x4 before I would purchase or build on sand that’s only 10 - 20 feet above Sea level, nor would I insure that property If I were an agent, It would be wiser to purchase a yacht or house boat.
Most cities and any community really are built historically along waterways as they used to be our mode of transportation.. Florida is a different story altogether.. but most of our cities are at risk.
Makes you wonder why mainstream media has such lousy news coverage, don't they want to show us anything? This video here is the way it should be done. Good work.
Obviously the people who built those houses didnt take any kind of consideration for storms. If a cat1 did that much i wouldnt even think what a 3 or 4 would do. Good luck getting insurance for houses there.
Seriously. And this not only happens in Florida, but up and down the East and west Coast. Why would ANYONE live on a beach house is BEYOND me. Close to the beach where it’s walking distance? Sure. But ON the beach? Absolutely not

First Coast News….thank you so much for filming this drone video and allowing us to view From the drone. A picture is a thousand words, no reporter needed on this one. Thoughts and prayers to all residents who are effected. There are no easy answers, sometimes we have to say the opponent won. I walked that beach with great joy from 2001 to 2018. It was following Hurricane Matthew in 2016 that I really saw the beginning of coastline and sea level change. One year later Irma. Following years with damage caused by Kings Tide, Full Moons, etc. Millions of dollars have been thrown at this, but I see it’s been wasted. Instead of another $ 3 million “Study” to solve the problem. Possibly those monies can help buy some of the struggling homeowners in a buy out. Let the Ocean have her beach back. Prayers and blessings to all😔❤🙏
Nicole wind field was so big that generated really strong waves and big surge, but in the next decades, with sea level rise, small storms will cause this type of damage! The big ones i don't even gonna talk about it ...
I have dove the gulf off panama city beach a little to the west. There is old lake bottoms in 50 feet off water. All the hand ringing and the sky is falling folks should know. This has been going on for 19,000 years. End of the last ice age. Those lake bottoms in the gulf were fresh water long before man had anything to do with the weather.
That coast is not mostly below sea level! You'd have to build dikes if it was. It's just a hurricane and that's what they do. More that that, it was a hurricane just after a bad hurricane that washed away the dunes that protect from this. Look up hurricane Hazel in 1954 if you think this is some kind of new phenomenon. That hurricane went all the way up the east coast and into Canada and did billions of $ in damage. They have always happened. It's people's memories that fail or a failure to research what they are talking about, believing this is some kind of global climate change.
Just looking at all the brand new traffic cones along the street you can see how even little things will add up the costs to a community, let alone all the overtime expenses for emergency services workers and other city services. When we see massive damage, far beyond the ability of a local governmental entity to handle. we can see why both our federal governments and insurance were created. I am confident that Vilano Beach had not budgeted for Tropical Storm Nicole in their fiscal year 2022 budget.These area not the type of scenes Florida real estate agents and brokers want you to see, when they are showing over priced ocean front from property to clients.
The majority of these properties were built over sand. The foundation would have easily been eroded by watershed, flooding, or hurricane conditions. Seems apparent the waterfront has no protected barriers preventing any damage, or land deterioration. If they had had concrete pilons along the beach to build up the land mass or something else that would have stopped the buildings from destruction. Or perhaps saved it by some finer environmental conservancy, then most of these structures would be more likely to withstand the flooding.
Ian says "hold my margarita" I don't really feel bad for people that build on the ocean, cliffs, fault lines, etc. You know it'll happen one day. Plus, they filthy rich, this is just one of their homes, they just live in another house while the insurance company fixes this one. After Ian, we lived in our only home with no power, or water for weeks and insurance companies are doing everything they can to back out of paying.
Why do all of those people keep building all of those houses on land only a few feet above sea level? Do the sewers still work in those neighborhoods with standing water in them? The ocean is just going to get deeper and deeper as the years go by. I think most of those houses should be written off as a total loss; and never rebuilt again.
Two decades ago, I watched as my son and two friends tried their best to build a barrier against the waves on Puget Sound with some logs. I watched wondering why people insist on building against the force of nature, instead of with it. With the Florida coastline an example of this, what is the answer except that the shoreline be cleared, and miles of granite rock placed for the waves to beat against with storm surge predicted in a worse-case scenario. Rebar, concrete walls, miles of granite rock…who knows if structural engineers can’t even get it right. Rather beaches be public domain, instead of being parceled out to private owners to decide a hit and miss method for shoreline protection for which the public is not responsible, Yet, the public is responsible for private-ownership rebuilding in the form of tax dollars. Google: Does the public pay for beach house disasters.
Pretty bad I would imagine? Looking at the location, the houses and the cars I reckon these people could take the financial hit of losing these houses. Here in the UK, these would almost be holiday homes that over the years they'd have made a lot of money from, their own houses would probably be somewhere safer up country?
That the lion’s share of the homes shown are built on long pilings driven into sand or have 10’ above sand ‘foundations’ should say it all. The home and business owners know exactly what they’re doing, and that government, if not insurance, will make them whole when the inevitable happens. No wonder insurance companies are dropping covering these properties. No tax dollars should be spent on rewarding people for bad decisions.
When you pay your 'property taxes' who do you write the check to, Mother Nature? I guess when you are foolish enough to build at the oceans edge, you can expect no less than this outcome. There's a price to pay for everything.
Those home with adequate rock bulk heads seemed to have fair well. Those homes not adequately protected didn’t. Shame on governments inadequate building codes…shame on government for not building proper bulk heads to protect the roads from storm erosion …. You get what you pay for as the saying goes.

That's exactly correct. Hopefully FLA. will ban rebuilding but it's such a corrupt state I doubt they'd have the intelligence to do that.
the insurance companies will no insure that anymore. it's sand. the cities should be sued cuz theu shouldn't have let people build there. period.

Well, the water is still there, so you can swim again within a few months 😉 only no icecream, sorry.
That’s not damage. That’s houses and roads where they should never had built
Going to take a lot of boulders to make a jetty along there.
Just watching these videos of the current events and the state of Florida are an eye opener. Time to exist the coast.

I always say not a smart idea buying houses in front of the sea, those houses are on borrowed time until the sea claims them.
I wonder when people are going to take hurricanes seriously... When their homes are built on sand hills.

It looks as though if your house was on either side of a house that had an armored sea wall it fared worse.
