The first day of Summer brings flooding salt water into contact with cars, and that combination does not mix, bringing insurance claims and lots of used car sales next week.

The people in Surfside build their houses on stilts, because they know the sea they reside above is not fit for human habitation. It is no different than building your home on the lip of a volcano. There are more responsible places to build human communities.

[@scottmcshannon6821]

90% of the homes that are built on stilts are vacation rentals. as such they are relatively effective.

[@TheTibetyak]

I guess they need to change the name of the town from Surfside to just Surf.

[@ruthdepew7212]

@@scottmcshannon6821 It is still a waste of planetary resources. Build the vacation cottages a mile back and put nothing bigger than picnic tables, life guard stands, and outhouses on the beach. Food trucks can come by to provide food and drink.

[@rodneytod7141]

The reason those houses are on stilts is because this is not all that unusual.. It’s the Gulf Coast. It gets weather.

[@johnbeech9221]

Such 😮 exciting reporting

[@Rickets1911]

It smells better already

[@roundtwo3321]

00:23 and 01:17 Those houses are on stilts. They knew in advance that repeated flooding was going to happen to them. They should have flood insurance and an escape route/destination.
