My father told me once when I was a kid, “never turn your back on the ocean.” Same applies to building on a coast, you’re taking chances. This type of thing has happened on Lake Erie’s north shore as well as Lake Ontario. Actually when he gave me that advise I was probably standing on a Lake Erie beach.

Good Advice! My cottage was on Lake Erie and we got hit bad Twice!! picture shows my cottage and the retaining wall that was built after the storm. The next year we got hit again. Needless to say we got out. Bought a home in Fort Myers. Of course, Fort Myers got hit the worst ever! Thankfully, we learned our lesson and stayed far away from the beach and got minimal damage. These storms are destroying peoples lives. God help everyone who has been affected. Such devastation.
