The Hemsby storm surge

[@nicolabettles8105]

Heart wrenching had not been able to bring my self to go back there until last week😥🙏🍀my father built his home/retired in Hemsby but passed away the year before!😢so sad to see it all go in the see and the dunes we used to play on/slide down with our childrenx

Holidays there in the 60 s 70 s as a child , 80 s 90 s as an adult, loved it so much, unfortunately there is no stopping countries being shaped by the sea, it's happened for thousands of years and will continue too 😳🌹❤️

So very very sad I deeply feel for the people that live there and the homes taken. 😢😢😢I absolutely love this coastline it's so beautiful as is norfolk ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I remember walking on that road and that is what I saw all the houses were all down the cliffs and all completely ruined by the wind very bad

Awaken! The sea is not "cruel" as it is simply the sea. We invaded the turf of the sea when we built structures where we did. Deal with reality and get on with things. You are having setbacks and this is NOT the end. Best of luck to all of us!

If my memory serves me well, the Dutch were good at building sea defences. look towards their methods to fight the sea erosion.

Water really scares me

[@philmarks7339]

id say by 2050 half of hemsby will be in the sea in 100years it will be all in the sea....sooooo sad...

Building on sand dunes always means a short life-span for any building..tragic for home owners and community. Government won't fund it, nothing will hold the sea back for long...and they would need to protect hundreds of miles of coastline. Its not just one short bit of coast affected...its only going to get worse if developers keep building them, and planners approve them. Perhaps home-owners could get together and sue the council planning dept for allowing buildings/homes on sand dunes?......

Apply for a lottery grant funding a sea front stronghold. Not sure though if they would find it?

[@scottpeacock5492]

fund it, not find it.

Its A losing battle. This is happening around the would. The sea is rising and no matter what anyone does mother nature will always win!
