      D sea will not cross d boundaries (come into d land) if d land does not commit evil. Nature is overturned when men overturns d law. Read Amos 9: 6. In Dec 2003, I told wife of American Baptist pastor Ott tt God was very angry with several nations and I wld ask God to bring d disaster on Dec 26, 2004. As Amos 9:6 kept coming to my mind, I therefore chose for d tsunami to occur on 26 Dec 2004 (Asian tsunami). I also decided for hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ and Kobe EQ to strike on d 17. I was a prison officer and my ex-colleagues can testify tt I chose d dates for d disasters.

      I lived ocean front in a condo. The shore lines move. Ours was usually several hundred yards from the structure. During Jean the water was in the parking garage on the first floor. That’s what a “storm surge” is. We had fish in the road because A1A flooded. People want to live ocean front and are willing to pay millions for the luxury. But with that comes risk. Obviously greed is involved when developing, but to insinuate that engineers were negligent with plans that were implemented 40 & 50 years ago, is likely because you’re not from Florida & don’t live near an ocean. Nature will take what’s hers.

Flagler county didn't do this--they kept the beach open, for many reasons.....they suffered again this storm. But...I hope all this damage is demoed and NEVER rebuilt on the shore. Leave the beach as she is. put open grassy spaces here instead. There is plenty of land still to develop for condos though...fact is...their necessity dwindles each year so...oh yeah...that brings me back to the arbitrage

    First of all, I am TRULY sorry for what happened to these structures and the people that lived in them got destroyed by Ian and Nicole. I just don't understand why anybody in their right mind from "code enforcement" would allow these structures to be rebuild in the same area. We all know it's only going to happen again and again, sooner or later. These are called barrier Islands for a reason... To protect the mainland. Most of our major insurance companies have already moved out of the state of Florida. That's why our rates are so high and I certainly don't blame them. The problem is... $ ALL OF OUR INSURANCE RATES ARE HIGHER FOR EVERYONE$. At least for the people that can still afford insurance . Just doesn't seem fair. They get the beautiful view for a short amount of time, (but from all of us that still pay for insurance) have to pay for these structures to be rebuilt. 😡 So, does anyone see something wrong with this picture??? 🤔

It's all a gamble the investors will get all their money back and then some before it fails again. Insurance rates are high because its a certainty they will be paying out again. It will just continue to cost more and those who cannot afford it will be pushed out. This cycle happens over and over again. Life is not fair.

Never have I ever witnessed such devastation and total loss. On 11/4/22 I moved out of the State of Florida, and literally drove past Daytona as I was connected from out of Orlando on the Florida Turnpike onto I95 North. I kept thinking... "there really isn't a safe place to be in Florida when these Hurricanes roll through"....a week later, Daytona gets smacked. What's interesting is this, The destruction and complete devastation I witnessed was enough for me to say enough is enough..... I'm outta here. I'll take the snow any day of the week over 15 inches of rain, power outages, disease infested water. Think I'm joking?

    Maybe it would be better to not build on the ocean side of the road. Build up dunes on that side, then elevate the road on a sea wall. Parts of Daytona Beach seemed down in the heels, last time I was there. Maybe it's an opportunity to make things better. Maybe the novelty of driving on the beach needs to be stopped. I can't help but wonder if that's bad for the beach long term. I actually like Daytona Beach better than some spots further down the coast. It's a shame this happened, but I suppose it was inevitable. I think they give too much control to developers in Florida. Maybe better zoning rules, beach access, and coastal conservation need to be considered.

    It is so sad to watch a beautiful home - someone's home - vanishing like that in such a terrible tragedy. I pray for all the ones who have lost their homes to rebuild or move somewhere else, maybe. Whichever they prefer, I am nobody to judge.

      They should build houses on barges like casinos in Tunica. They removed the walkways and the rising water lifted the building intact with no structural damage at all. Fixed a few light bulbs and straight back to business as usual. Let the barge down everything was intact indeed.

      It was the double / triple whammy of Ian a strong multi-day nor’easter followed by Nicole. I think the nor’easter got them as it did the Jacksonville and St Augustine beaches further north. Their impact from Ian was substantial because it was so slow moving it pounded those beaches for days with onshore winds

    Horrific scenes and very sad! Have lived by the sea my whole life and we have gone through this in the Northeast in New England on the coast for decades after severe N'or Easters and even tail end of hurricanes i.e. severe beach erosion and houses falling into the great Atlantic ocean! Only now, it's getting far worst because of rising sea levels and even worst beach erosion due to Global Warming/Climate change which is real and escalating! The beaches here are more narrow than in past decades because of rising sea levels/beach erosion and a famous beautiful beach here was completely decimated a couple of years ago! Along with more shark sightings because they love warm waters and also love to feed off the seals here! We're seeing the devastation from that not only here in the states but worldwide, hence the word "Global" as in "Global pandemic"! BTW, the Bible says to 'do not build your homes upon the sands', because the sands are always shifting! And we shouldn't be building i.e. over development/over-population on fragile eco-systems like wetlands/dunes that can't withstand tall skyscrapers, huge hotels and homes packed in like a can of sardines, either! Builders /architects need to go back to building hotels/apt buildings only two to three stories high like they had on the Florida coasts in the 1920s and 30s, not these high rise buildings! Common sense should rule the day and build them a bit more inland, not right on the beach too close to the mighty ocean! You can't beat Mother Nature and right now she's pissed off! So, stay environmentally aware! Keep safe Floridians!

      @@rd8370 it is rising everywhere. Daytona area is very telling. Because you can literally walk out over 200 yards on low tide. Super Flatt. No way to notice a oceanic rise on West coast. Daytona beach is different. And everywhere within a couple blocks from the ocean. It's doesn't take long to hit water under your property if you dig 10 or 12' deep.
      Good possibility a lot more destruction coming. Grand view ave used to be the first line of houses before A1a and then building east of and inside A1a. The condos and hotels modern Daytona beach.
      The hotels the best during early 1900's we're actually built on the intercoastal. Not even on the beach.
