That is a great video. I was just planning a trip to do some house shopping there. ZOINKS!!!! I think you just saved me a bunch of money and heartache! Thanks.

[@schroedingersdog7965]

Excellent video. Thank you! It looks like the "stilts" are fulfilling their purpose, but I don't think I'd want to drive a vehicle thru salt water.

Was just barely a TS.. this place needs some MAJOR work if they don't want mother nature reclaim it

[@gerardpully762]

There is no 'major work' that may save this overbuilt trap.

How do they get building permits that close to water?

[@AlbertHess-xy7ky]

Democratically. We the people decide.

[@yourfurnituredoctor1200]

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky I lost my house to a flood in western n.c. and they banned my land for building back due to flood plain. We the people didn't decide politicians and beaucrats made that decision for us.

@@yourfurnituredoctor1200 We the people elected the politicians who hired the bureaucrats, who made the decisions. Who did you vote for? Did you vote? How should politicians be elected?

Yeah those berms need to be better built and much taller.

[@moroma2064]

Wow!

[@streetsmartintelligent]

Every wonder why the walls not much taller when we all know it should be? With the billions-trillons spent on infrastructure & same amounts GIVEN away there is no reason why this shouldn't of taken place decades ago. So it makes me wonder, if the bottom line again is all about how much money that can be made on people's damages, so they leave it this way...

[@AlbertHess-xy7ky]

Where were you decades ago. It makes me wonder. Who is they? We the people?

[@prospectingforanything]

🎯 they can create weather to wipe everyone out, then buy up all the property when the insurance companies don't pay for the damages and the owners give up on it. It's a new racket 😒

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky you know who "they" are already. But you refuse to believe it or do anything about it anyway. So what's the point?

I had an atmospheric sciences class in the late 1990's. On the first day the prof walked in and wrote on the board: "FREQUENCY and INTENSITY" and that was the focus of the class as it applies to "climate change" and its impacts. Everything according to him (and the SCIENCE) would be more intense AND more frequent. And that means BAD news for humans. He said the argument of "who caused it" will be rendered MOOT when the "change" part comes. Here we are. This is the change. Look at the LONG list of places across the planet that are flooding. He also used to love to say that for some areas, "One day the water will come in, and it will not go away...." Well.... one has to wonder if that is the case very soon. LOOK at this video. This is only on the very very very OUTSKIRTS of the storm. A storm that is not even a hurricane level storm.

I have never seen a wall at surfside beach no matter how many times I've been there. Just the jetty wall. And I have driven up and down that beach many times

[@Drewdtx]

The walls are on the "pedestrian beach" portion. They are between the bridge(hiway 332) entrance and the jetties. You can't drive on that portion with the wall. There is no beach there.
