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.

2km inland from the beach, in a hilly area if possible, is the smarter option 😀

Hmmmmm ... sand foundation, ocean front, approaching hurricane, king tides ... what could go wrong?? That's basic freshman Coastal Hydrology 101!!

All I see is expensive houses on a sand dune that will disappear over time. How stupid to build that close to the Ocean KNOWING HURRICANES COME....

Wonder how Jensen Beach and Jupiter Inlet took it. That place is only a sand bank.

It seems it was all about the best built sea walls.

No need to build a staircase to the ocean…the ocean will come to you.

how much of this is pre-existing damage from previous storms vs today's damage from Nicole??

Wow. This was barely a Cat 1. Imagine the effect of a Cat 4 or 5 on that coastline

Wow, just wow. The damage is extensive enough that had difficulty placing where in the area this was to look at "before" info. For those curious like I was, the house with the hot tub at the 12 second mark geolocates at 29.119501857994166, -80.95033568360404 in Port Orange FL and continues north up the shoreline. 3:23 in is 29.13081850800492, -80.95706596023388. At 3:33 you're near the intersection of A. Atlantic Ave and Egret Ave, Port Orange FL, looking at the homes just south of that intersection. Looking at the overhead shots on Google Maps is just amazing. That's also a section of the beach where a "street view beach front is available. Though it's from 2013, it is an amazing contrast to the wreckage of these drone shots. Amazing!

sorry the town names get a bit convoluted there. The house street addresses say they're Port Orange on Google Maps but they're really Wilbur-by-the-Sea. Daytona Beach Shores starts about 1/2 mile north of Egret Avenue.
