What never ceases to amaze me, is that somebody first purchased that land, then applied to build a house on that spot, got the permission, then has had the house build at these exposed areas and everybody went along like saying: *”yep, perfect spot to build a house”*
I've NEVER understood why anyone would purchase a house so close to the end of rock, near the ocean. It's beautiful but the risks of everything being destroyed isn't worth it.
i live in a house on the beach, been there forever, my mum said that the water used to splash against the windows , but there are groines there now and the water doesnt come anywhere near the house.
OMG SAME i was always saying that in like some places like that thailand tsumanmi in 2004 the people didnt know it was coming so like all of the houses got destoroyed and 25,000 people died its just not worth it and when i was n vacation in the OBX we rented a house near the ocean and i kept getting so nervous dont know why and the houses lititrally on the beach are millions of dollars what if a huuricane hit's there? you know!
I remember around 6 years ago,seeing on the news that the waves were so strong that year in Dawlish that they destroyed the foundations of the main railway track between Devon and Cornwall, cost millions to repair and it affected peoples ability to get to and from Devon and Cornwall for ages.
That additional clip you added at the very end was really interesting (and alarming!). The contrast between the separate years was an incredible visual.
As an FYI the homes in Pacifica were built away from the beach. They had a ton of room away from the beach or cliff when they were built but decades of terrible storms and sea level rise lead to the erosion of the cliff face. I know since I live there.
NEVER underestimate the power of water folks. It will get you every time. All you have to do is look at what the poor folks in Japan went through back in 2011 during the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. One of the waves that hit one of the village areas was 100ft no joke...!!!
This was a great watch!! Those were some waves!! Great choice!! The one that the apartment building ocean side that was falling down the cliff was in Esplanade Ave, Pacifica, CA 94044, USA. Those apartments aren’t there anymore. TH-cam has videos on the whole story.
It appears that in a number of cases where there are sea walls, only the wave tops made it beyond that barrier and only because of momentum did it keep going in the original direction of the wave. What might be tried in such circumstances is to use a deflector on top of the sea walls to redirect the water away from the wall to keep it from splashing over and to use the direction reversal to help cancel some of the wave energy. it's worth a try.
We were in Lincoln City for six months on the 101. We remember that quite well! Many beaches were only there half day, lots of beach erosion tons of HUGE scary waves, sounded worse then a car crash in the middle of the night. Be ready that alarm will be useful one day. Lol
We don’t need to be that close to the ocean , it’s a living thing and will take over eventually , ha ha Mother Nature will always win , why don’t you get that???
Out of my own eyes when you look out there to the water there's no curve I only see curve when looking at oceans through a camera but out my own eyes the edge is straight line of course great video
Dave S. It is waves vs buildings... look at the damage it’s done to the buildings. It isn’t click bait. Click bait is showing a huge wave in the thumbnail, as in tsunami, and showing nowhere near tsunamis.
@@mel-jm9ue Yes, in the first few minutes there was some nice 'waves vs. buildings' footage, but things got a little sparse after that, and 23% of ratings were thumbs down. That's high for a TH-cam vid.
Great commentary - just one question where else would you build a fishing port apart from near the sea! Coastal erosion has also meant that some inland villages are now on cliff edges or in the sea.
So the video ends up being boringly long and drawn-out plus features very little waves hitting buildings. Looks to me like another clickbait video but far more boring.
@@Erin-Thor how am I competitor? I make outdoor videos and only use TH-cam as a platform to get people to my paid sites. Also why am I not allowed to have an opinion? Literally every manufacturer out there Compares their stuff to the competition. For that matter pretty much every manufacturer does. I think you're being too sensitive on the subject.
Yes, not a good video at all. Mispronounced places, insufficient research, lack of local input. All in all, a waste of time and videos like this is what ruins YT. It's then filled with time wasting dross. None of us have unlimited free time and this video stole time from you and I.
I stayed in a hotel there and the vacant cottage below our window was being totally consumed by waves everyday. A few months later that same cottage was a giveaway in a competition in the sun newspaper.
There has to be a really good story behind the answer to everyone's questions here about "why do people build things like houses, foolishly so close to the oceans edge?!" I imagine first of all it's meant to make you question: the ultimate WHY!? Overall IT'S A GREAT VIDEO! Thanks so much for posting! These are some interesting shots. Very awesome to take in how much of the world I have not seen up close and personal. I love living on the East coast though. There's still so much to learn here, I haven't tried, I haven't traveled and seen! This is a great insight to the unknown. I love it!
chasj99 - Ahh... you might want to watch the first minute again, LOL! That’s an apartment complex and the waves are easily reaching the second and third floor residents. Just sayin’

Ocean: //creates swells on coastlines that can demolish buildings Building owner: Let's create a building right close to the ocean so people can enjoy a nice ocean view! Ocean: //causes major damage to the building Building owner: [shocked Pikachu meme]
"Very bad place for buildings" You say that a lot in this video. It's a normal thing though. Have you seen Miami? New York? Tampa? New Orleans? Im not familiar with major cities outside of US but I'm sure there's many others that build right up to the waters edge. I agree I think it's a stupid idea.
They probably weren’t on the edge 20 years ago. Our small town is falling into the sea due to increased sea levels and clay cliffs. All around England they are attempting to slow it with huge boulders etc but eventually the sea will take it all
The number 1 scene was at Pacifica, California. The San Andreas Fault runs just inland there and goes into the ocean to cross the Golden Gate just north of there. The building pictured is gone now, but it was once 50 meters from the edge. The ground there is sandstone, formed the last time that area was below the sea. It was pushed up by the movement along the fault and now the sea is taking it back.
What never ceases to amaze me, is that somebody first purchased that land, then applied to build a house on that spot, got the permission, then has had the house build at these exposed areas and everybody went along like saying: *”yep, perfect spot to build a house”*
Not quite, it’s more about paying for stupidity
And then get an insurance payout when it's underwater
All you have to do is build a sea wall, and then you'll be safe almost forever.
Well said, what I thought immediately. Fuuuuck that.

I bet they pay for that view thru insurance
Some of those homes have been there hundreds of years.

People don’t think the sea is rising, but the first signs will be large waves at high tide. Miami, Jakarta, some islands are all flooding.
