Oh my word! We saw the houses falling into the ocean when Nicole hit, I just donât think people should live on the very edge where the ocean constantly takes the soil away.
@louannwarren it has been a very long time since I was in Daytona, but that beach is usually huge. I think the issue was that Hurricane Ian had destroyed a good part of the beach and perhaps weakened the seawall. I think Galveston has done a great job with their 17' tall seawall.
@joansmor SE Florida has been undergoing changes since 1992. Other areas have been lesser populated until recently. The homes that suffered the most this time had the one-two punch from 2 hurricanes. I think it was the loss of the beach, which was their margin, that hurt the most.
@danette I lived in the West Palm Beach area in the 70s and never would have dreamed of the future that was coming. We have problems with our coast too. I no longer dream of owning a coastal home.
@joansmor I feel like so many newer homes along Ian's path did well against the hurricane. Florida is trying to do better, but there are still many old structures along with new challenges. As you know!
