Incredible Video of Severe Beach Erosion/Homes Damaged Along Florida East Coast - Nicole

Most of those who invested in putting in seawalls and breaker rocks seems to have done ok.

Those without seawalls pretty much lost everything.

According to one of the comments - severe erosion began with Hurricane Ian and the coup de grâce was Nicole.

Hurricane Ian

Who left their dozer on the beach?

“It’s a foolish man who builds his house on the sand”

I live here. Many of those homes were already on life support. They had just done a major addition of dunes north of there and they faired very well. It is a constant problem though. I will share some pics of what it looks like just north of there where people took care of the beaches at the end of the summer during a project, post Ian, and today when I run down there.

Also voters here decided not to pass a 1 cent sales tax on Tuesday that would have been used for infrastructure in St. John’s county. They were scared of the developers which I get because we are blowing up here but could be used for projects such as this.

Mother Nature is a bitch

I don’t feel sorry for people willingly living on the coast.

Insurance in zone A here is going to sky rocket it has gone up each year. I am on high ground but I am in zone A so get grouped with this stuff. Two years ago I was in zone B so not really happy to now be getting grouped with people on a totally different scenario. There is no way those homes you see had insurance. They have been like that for years.

They've been steady getting pounded, pretty much annually, since hurricane Matthew. I think a1a near the st johns/flagler county borders has washed out a 3rd or 4th time in that stretch.
