I would not want to live that close to the Ocean when you have sea's blasting over your home in a storm. That's just crazy!

[@googleuser868]

Looks high maintenance. Lol

[@JohnLRice]

Yeah, but most of the time it must be quite pleasant and beautiful! I wonder what paint they use on the outside, must be durable?

[@irmakalember9403]

Yeah water is terrifying

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

Not the usual weather though, I am sure.🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@eyemnew2991]

I seen a video of several homes and trailer homes near rivers and creeks. It did not matter how well the foundations were made, when it flooded those homes were in severe trouble. And many were destroyed by the flood waters.

[@The_Naughty_Kitten]

Alabama here - that is beautiful to look at but completely different thing to be in it. Prayers everyone is safe up there, I hope the power doesn’t go out this weekend. 🙏🏻✝✨❄☃💫

[@carolinagirl7596]

Wouldn’t want to live in an area susceptible to those weather conditions, but it’s fascinating to observe otherwise. Incredible footage and you’re a brave soul. Stay safe and thank you for sharing.

[@stephaniegamble3571]

Of all the coverage Ive seen this is PHENOMENAL!!! EXCELLENT coverage

[@ZolaClyde]

Agreed! When the KZbin algorithm gets it right. :)

[@quantum_entangled_tardigrade]

Even with window shudders closed, those houses must have sustained lots of water damage inside.

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

I was just thinking about that 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

[@declandonahue592]

they are built much higher up in the air than they appear.. probably 20-30 feet above sea level

[@shoebill181]

Well they wanted to live by the ocean , I imagine to experience it, so here it is. Wow. Fascinating to watch from this southwest desert rat. You have made one of the best videos I've seen, hope you will be safe and anyone else who is there.

[@holinessorhell1964]

Those are summer only residents. Don't live there during this kind of weather

[@maria617]

These homes were built on top of the rubble left in the Blizzard of ‘78. That storm was epic. Took out all the houses and the sea wall. I can’t imagine these residents don’t know the history of what happened in ‘78. Perhaps they’re at peace with the inevitability of the sea’s dominance.

[@jacquir8331]

@@maria617 when you are wealthy enough to purchase here you are wealthy enough to rebuild. These comments make it sound like these people do not know where and what they are buying.

[@jacquir8331]

Growing up here in Massachusetts we know what the weather is like we are used to it. When you are wealthy enough to buy here you are wealthy enough to insure and rebuild.

[@eyemnew2991]

Will those homes still be there when the people come check on them.

[@davemarte1898]

Please be safe out there everyone

[@Fannanel]

Thank you for sharing.

[@cyberoptic5757]

We went there after the blizzard of '78... It was like this, but worse. After that, people put their houses up on stilts as you can see in this video. locally, the area is referred to as the Irish Riviera. We moved north to Maine and to a higher elevation. We said goodbye to Scituate & Marshfield. They are wonderful in the summer.

[@GreatDataVideos]

I went to Scituate and Hull after the Blizzard of '78. It was worse. All that was left of some homes was the foundation. Big rocks were thrown up over 100 yards inland. A huge boulder was thrown into a seaside restaurant in Plymouth. They left it there, as of the last time I visited it many years ago.

[@peppernc429]

Best video of the storm yet!

[@user-wu4cv5if2f]

Sending Blessings from Florida ..its 43 here tonight and I thought this was bad .

[@OrangeSTEMEducation]

My Dad lives down there 5 mins away by foot and said the winds were really howling yesterday. Always the same thing when there is a direct hit with these storms. It is so peaceful there but when the sea gets angry it really turns.

[@marciam6224]

You would think the powers that be in that area would be smart enough to put the power lines under ground. We lived in a mobile home park and all wires were underground. It might cost a fortune to do it but in the long run, no power lines to have to repair after one of these storms.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

The water level is too high to put the lines underground, I would think.

[@johnrogers9481]

Great job!!

[@joannescholl7216]

[@thereseredmond7805]

Beautiful, sunny and calm here today in Scituate MA. Saw someone paddle boarding off Minot Beach this afternoon. What a difference a day makes.

[@danbyrnes3110]

I live in a town close to Scituate. What a shame for such destruction. It's a very picturesque location to visit.

[@chriscourson2824]

cold in Alabama and Florida, also, and 35mph winds!!

[@trevonhaywoodandtaylorhaven]

The waves are crazy!

[@johnjeffreys6440]

When you can afford to own a home on the beach like that, you can easily afford to stay in a hotel for a few nights while the storm passes.

[@francislarvey7942]

And hopefully afford to repair the water damage afterwards. And/or even find anyone available and able to do so any time soon

[@declandonahue592]

lol if you own one of these homes it is likely this is just a toy to you.. im from the area that part of scituate is just summer residents

[@unguidedone]

maybe its not a good idea to build homes that close to the ocean

[@nancynusheen7682]

From DC...worried for family/friends up north. Prayers ☹🙏🙏

[@dianealbrecht496]

As a native New Englander, I approved this video!

[@googleuser868]

Coastal areas should be RV parks and public parks. Stuff on wheels can be moved out of harm's way. No more national emergency claim damage from storms.

[@videorocketzmillar007milla5]

Yes! But ppl don't listen 🙄 especially when officials insist ppl live there. Shame.

[@daveyboyr7580]

To experience the power of the elements has always thrilled me. Were I there to embrace it with my face to the wind at sea I would smile. The buildings at waters edge can take a lot of battering because they are constructed for it. Thank you for your terrific video for you have captured the imagination of the moment.
