Daytona Beach Shores, Imminent Collapse?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.ย. 2024
- Drone video I shot on 11/15/22 at my condo building at Daytona Beach Shores. I run South a bit to show the Pirates Cove and Lifeguard Station that Jim Cantore made famous during Hurricane Nicole. Its bad, really bad. My building got Red Tagged and engineers are trying to figure it out. Check out my previous videos to see the landscape after Hurricane Ian.
The 'beach' is now underneath where these building sit. The beach that was in front of the building line is gone. The Army Corp of Engineers could theoretically pump the sand back up to the place where it was once located. But any storm or rough sea could cause it to leave again. Better to abandon the buildings, tear them down and make a beach underneath where they sit. Of course they will never do that, but instead will fight the forces that are far greater than they are. I doubt this ends well for this area. The expense alone to put the sand back, temporarily is immense. I suppose they will expect the taxpayers across the country to foot the bill.
Omg. Will water ever recede??)
I think you are absolutely right, and no one right now wants to admit that it might come to that. These are all HIGH dollar properties and won't just be shrugged away like the poorer neighborhoods that Katrina destroyed.
it will NOT recede as the slope of the beach is GONE. High tide full time.
Correct, but that's not how the state is addressing this. We NEED the Corps here now to fix this, but I haven't seen them.
Totally agreed...
American Greed.. Kills
Killed but it’s legal...
It’s deemed safe..
What’s the definition of deemed?
Your music does give a certain sense of quiet beauty, just gently soaring along with the clouds.
Adobe Premiere Elements auto soundtrack..I have like 40 to choose from...this one seemed appropriate :) - thanks
@@Floroseven What is the name of this track as it really supports ypur video beautifully?
Very shocking and very sad. The drone video quality is excellent
I'm the drone guy :) - nicest thing you could say. Unfortunately I own a tiny part of that collapsing building. Thanks for the like and subscribe :)
All by design me thinks
Look at all those sand castles. Only time Mother Nature will take it all back.
Sand castles, lol..

The beautiful BG Dolphin. Holds my heart. Thank you for sharing these incredible moments with us. 😢
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for posting this video. We are very familiar with this stretch of beach as we stay at the Days Inn a couple places down from the Grand Coquina a couple times a year. We were down there on the beach just before Hurricane Ian and were shocked and saddened to see the damage from that storm, then Nicole hit and it was so much worse.😔 So much has permanently changed but we hope to see Daytona and all of Florida - our home away from home - eventually recover from this natural disaster. ❤🙏
You'll see the Days Inn in the video i JUST posted showing the inside of our condemned condo. Come back soon please! We love our visitors.
@@Floroseven Thank you and we certainly will be back. Florida is in our blood! We look forward to seeing more of your videos. All our best to everyone down there and hoping for a positive outcome.
Thank you for sharing this excellent drone footage of this extremely sad, scary situation. I'm sorry you are having to go through this.
Thanks for ur comment. Did I see my condo video?
Yes sir. My husband is a Daytona beach native. We now own his mother's home in Spruce Creek Fly In Community. Our primary residence is in the metro Atlanta area. We always visit the beach in the Sunglow Pier/Crabby Joe's beach area. This is all very sad to us. Do you know how Shores Club is doing?
I did watch your condo video. Thanks for posting. We wish the best for you all.
Thank you for sharing this amazing footage. We really are no match against the mighty forces of nature.
Nice footage of a bad situation. Interesting, they're using destruction debris as makeshift rip-rap while they fill up bags of sand as a makeshift seawall. I realize these are immediate and temporary measures to stave off further erosion. Also interesting (in a bad way) there is essentially no beach left. The waves though gentle are lapping up against the barriers. In older photos the beach is quite wide in this area and is now mostly gone. I've heard people say that it was Ian that landed the first blow then Nicole did the knockout punch. I hope I'm wrong but in the long run, I don't see any way those buildings teetering over the Atlantic can be salvaged. I'm on the Gulf coast and got hit hard by Ian later thinking Nicole would be a walk in the park for those on the east coast, silly me.
The entire coast needs MORE sand than we can get...there's an "approved" way to get sand and there's not enough. I have more vids going up tonight of inside the building. Thanks for the like, comment and sub :)
My house is in Cape Coral. Ian went right over top of it. It survived OK with minimal damage. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened in this area if N would’ve slammed into this Coast at that strength if all it took to finish it off was a cat one. are used to want beachfront property not anymore I’m good.
This is the Florida story, build close to the ocean, have a hurricane or two which destroys everything, build back in the same places and in the same way again and forget about what happened in the past. It’s like watching a rerun episode of a TV show. Eventually, you know how it ends but you watch it again and again.
Only the very wealthy and foreign money can afford to rebuild. The profits must be lucrative I say. The middle class will relocate inland.
Groundhog Day?
These are $500k price point condos...LESS than many areas for single fam homes. NOT "the rich"
This is sad to see no beach. I remember fun days in Daytona. It makes me smile thinking of them.
they'll fix it, but it will take time.
@@Floroseven GOD can undo it again. No one out does my LORD....
@@terrytorres7075 amen 🙏
Thanks for this! Great shots. It's crazy how beat up its getting.
thanks man! I also shot a whole video of me going into my red-tagged building. I'll put it up later tonight. Appreciate if you like and sub :)
No driving on the beach anymore. Great memories.
Thank you so much for posting this. We have been timeshare owners at the Dolphin for the past 38 years and were wondering about the damage. The first hurricane spared us, but the second took out about half of the beach front. I am happy that the pool, hot tub and sauna were not washed away, but know it will probably be a good while before we get to come back. We evacuated from the Dolphin right before Hurricane Ian hit and are grateful we got to enjoy a few days. It is a lovely place and community and we ache for all our friends in the area. I don't see how our beach will ever be able to let cars drive there again. High tide seems to be coming right up to the remaining sea walls. This will be a big change for all of us.
The Dolphin was my first place I stayed in DB/S~! Wished I had bought in 10 years ago...charming building. Glad you made it out safe. As they say, we'll be back!
Those buildings are built on sand .Not a good base for foundation
there should be pilings down to bedrock
wrong. they’re built on pillars dug deep down
We are lifetime Floridians who lost our home to Hurricane Wilma, so we feel your pain. This will be a life marker for many....before Nicole, or after. The only good part is that it didn't collapse with people in it, like the one recently lost in Miami Beach. 90+ souls gone in the middle of the night. 😕
You're exactly right. Most people left before the storm for that very fear. I only went in after the engineers said "get in, grab stuff, get out"
@@Floroseven : glad you are okay and thankful for this video; it is truly heart breaking. We live just beyond the Dunlawton Bridge and for us, it was a tropical storm with no flooding. But I know many whose homes were declared total losses caused by flood waters; these neighborhoods were not beachside. 😢😢😢😢
Wilma was my last hurricane in The Keys. Never thought I'd forget it but it seems like a distant memory now. Time heals all wounds, apparently.
Sand dredge tech could build up the coast line . Helloooo
Great video. Lets me get this damage into prospective with all of your elevations and angles. What struck me was just how close the water is coming to A1A now. With the obviously lowered elevation of the beach these structures seem to be at the mercy of the incoming tides and no amount of financial investment can change that even if the money would somehow miraculously be available. It is just a dire situation.
Glad it was helpful! Actually, with a zillion tons of sand, this can be fixed, but neither the state nor the Fed (who OWN the sand/beach) are doing anything.
Take a look at Flagler Beach. A1A is very threatened now. Huge swaths of sand taken by Nicole..very fast repairs but I wonder about it's stability. The highway is right at the shore line.
@@karentate9114 It will go again with the next storm or extreme high tide. The ocean will not be stopped.
We just sold our Condo , direct river front on the Halifax because, after the collapse in miami, the insurance companies were going to either leave the state or, go crazy with charges. Our insurance on both towers, went up 100, 000 , after, Ian and now, Nicole, our building will be made to do all kinds of costly things, one of which will cost each condo owners 25,000. A piece, thats just the begining. We got out while the getting was good. Broke our hearts but, we can't afford it, we are retired, we dont have that kind of money.
Oh my lord...we have the same issues. Frankly, attorneys are the problem greater than the risk. Are you stil in Florida?
Who was stupid enough to BUY???😮
@@Floroseven yes, we sold so fast! We just bought another house here in Ormond, a double wide in fact, if we bought a regular house, the insurance will be too expensive so, we went cheaper. If insurance companies stay in Florida, I heard Citizens is even bankrupt. I wanted to go back to NC but my husband refuses to leave Florida. I miss family, been thro 2 horrible hurricanes in like a month or so on top of it! They are no fun! I watched the water go over the banks and into beach street and every place else, we were helpless to stop it, we knew everything would be flooded. Bad experience for sure.
@@granmabern5283 a minister from Georgia and his wife. Their son and daughter in law live in Ormond and , are having a baby so, they bought our condo to come down and stay once in awhile to be near them and, the new grandbaby.
It’s like building a house in a desert and being baffled by water shortages.
something like that!
Damn it !! That was a good one!
Of course it is imminent...I am so sad for my home town:( Please, pray for us
:)
I like Daytona Beach a lot. This summer my family was fall in love with Daytona Beach ! It is very family friendly place.
I totally agree! We want you back! Just give it till next year. - thanks for the comment, and hopefully a like & subscribe
The water line has completely changed, I doubt this can be "fixed" to keep a lot of these buildings to remain as is. The cost of this is going to be immense and if proper action isn't the course that is taken then it could also end up with a loss of life in the future.
Excellent comment and correct on all points.
they will need enough concrete to build a new highway
My Mom and stepdad live in this first building; this is so scary. They have had to suddenly move out for the next 6-8 months.😢 We hope it can be saved. 🙏🏻
which building? I own in the GC
Can't be saved
The ocean is becoming larger as you can see not looking good for Florida.
ocean is definitely closer.
Anyone know how deep the pilings do down below the buildings? My guess is 75 - 100 feet. Would love to hear what a structural engineer says on this.
There's definitely an equation. I'm not a PE, but I "know a guy" who can probably comment.
In Daytona beach you get in loads of trouble if you walk on the sand dunes, but these developers can come in and bulldoze them and build these monstrosities! The environmentalist down here are totally sleaze bags
These are 30 year old buildings. I have never heard you get in trouble for walking on sand dunes! Do tell please.
@@Floroseven in Daytona beach it’s illegal to walk on the sand dunes. Go look it up
My sister and I got yelled at in the early 80s for playing in the sand dunes 2 young girls what harm could we have done but the cops didn't care my dad was furious
Thank you sooooooo much for posting this. It's a really good view of these resorts. So sad. Yet again, thank you. Sharing with others that I know want to know. ❤️

This property has had it. Time to take it down Las Vegas style.
hehehe...I was hoping for the same.
I've been desperately trying to find some footage of the area where Joe's crabshack/ Hilton beach front are, do you have that area by chance?
go to my previous videos and you'll see the Pier in 2x videos.
The bankruptcy lawyers are going to have a field day. I suspect many owners will not be able to pay the huge special assessments needed to cover repairs. Not to mention insurance. We had a condo across the street on A1A. After Hurrican Charley, the insurance rates on our small building quadrupled. We saw the handwriting on the wall and sold-out years ago.
About 10k thus far. Tvd

Most of those structures should never have been built so close to the water. So sorry for people who lost their homes.

What terrible storm damage. I have walked this beach for years. Such a beautiful place is gone. Great drone coverage. Drones have opened up a new and exciting way to video good/bad events. Thanks again. Take a look at the devastating beach erosion on Lake Michigan SE area. Houses, cliffs falling into the lake. I know of those areas and up to Holland. It's really devastating.
Thanks for sharing :) -
Devastating!!! Awesome footage
Thanks 👍
The Chinese and Saudis are building islands with sand dredging ships, which are certainly massively expensive. Seems that FEMA could invest of a few of these and deploy them as needed.
I was in the US Navy. We have these craft, but for some reason, we're not using them.
@@Floroseven : why wouldn’t we be doing the same thing? 😮😢
Well first, sorry for your loss. But anyone the builds or buys a home right up against the ocean in a hurricane zone should reconsider consequences. This was and is bound to happen. NO structures should be allowed east of A1A
thanks, but what do we do with existing real estate?
This so sad my husband and I was just down here in August 30th for our anniversary we stayed at the pink shell 🐚 our hearts just broken for Florida because we love coming down here in June for my husband's birthday we was in Dayton beach then Nicole hit how sad is that the year before that we was at diamond head we love it there was looking to move there. We just Made it home this time September 3rd from the anniversary trip from staying at the pink shell we hope they are able to rebuild soon and open before the two years they say it will take we will love to come back soon. Maybe to other places we stayed at the Hilton where the clock tower was at in Dayton beach
that Hilton is sweet. Come on back!
@@Floroseven we for sure be back we love Florida ❤
We have a family member in the Grand Coquina - this is terrible. Hoping the building won’t be lost after all 😢. Could someone fly a drone down to the Shores Club and the Blue Surf to see what’s going on there? Those are our vacation spots of many years - and we’re supposed to be there next July too!
What address? I can get it.
@@Floroseven 3815 and 3831 South Atlantic Ave! Thank you!!
The shores club held up well. Mostly just stairs and ramp up to pool area torn up. Sea wall remained intact!
It’s very dangerous to go onto what used to be the beach right now because of all the debris in the water and sand. Especially in Daytona Beach Shores.
We're is everyone going to lay their beach blankets, towels, chairs, umbrellas, how can the kids build their sand castles, mother nature is cruel. 😢
Eventually, they'll restore the beach...for now, it just sucks.
Wow, if an Ian power storm hit here I would really be worried about
a building disaster...
its evacuated, so nobody's worried about personal safety right now
How are things going these days? Heading to the Dolphin in May we were already told the pool deck and access from resort to beach will be closed. We're coming anyway!
you can still get onto the beach with a 3 minute walk. Dolphin didn't look open just yet as of last weekend.
1. I regret that you have been hurt by this situation. 2. You have been more informative than any other video and drone poster. 3. Great taste in music. A bit like Fantasy Island. 4. The quality of the US CORPS of ENGINEERS is diminish since the foundation at US MILITARY ACADEMY aka West Point. Hopefully, this shifting foundation issue can be approached like earthquake builders codes. Both are foundation shift problematic.
thank you for the awesome comment. I have a tour of the condemned condo (inside!) coming out later today. Be sure to sub and like!
@@Floroseven I hope people have insurance to help with the loss of their homes.😢
Does anyone know how the Hampton Inn in Daytona Beach Shores made out?
address?
The entire sandbar is going down.
the sandbar is out there...would be nice to pump the slurry up to replace our beach! - hey thanks for the comment...would appreciate a like & share too :)
Beach houses everywhere suddenly losing their value and going to be so hard to insure what with Champlain now this.
value will actually increase due to scarcity.
Oceano, mar, rio, corregos, é pra todos e pra ser visto por todos
How does daytona beach resort and confrence center look? Right across from a dennys and down a bit from a publix. I just stayed there july 4th weekend first time in 30 yrs
I'd say about 50% of the properties between Dunlawton and the Daytona Beach pier have been compromised. I have footage from the beach on a bike before Nicole if you're interested.
SO BEAUTIFUL TO SEE THE OCEAN RECOVERING HER SPACE ❤
Lol...I kind of enjoy it too ;)
HUH????? Doesn't the ocean have enough square footage that it needs this few feet too?
@@Floroseven then can I have your refrigerator that beautiful stainless steel refrigerator and all the furniture in the bedroom set you left and the fishing poles everything I'll even take the bathroom out... And put it all in a nice house in the center of the state
@@kimvanhowe852 You should to ask that question to Her.
Tear the concrete shizit eye sores down and plant Sea Grapes and Sea Oats much prettier....
and Sea Cubumbers!
Saw palmetto used to be there , used to walk though them to surf pier , the one condo got big ass coqina rocks in front of wall from 84 northeaster and they all milling about like kings in the deck .
Caution ⚠️ the most boring depressing music video ever .
Looks like they built a little to close to the ocean
as close as one can
Any word on Hyatt Place? If there are pics or videos?
address? I'll check next time I'm there.
@@Floroseven I found a video today. The pool and decking are both gone
@@monicamuller9215 ouch
Not sure I would standing or working in front of a building in danger of imminent collapse 😢
brave construction professionals do this every day
Visited DBS many times from 2007- 2013. So much fun. Now the shoreline/beach is GONE. What a blow this is.
I live minutes away but never go to the beach, I hope this is just high tide
the sand/slope is gone....we need a zillion tons of reclaimed sand to fix it.
So so sad,I've travelled there many times,one more storm in the area and that's it for these buildings.:(
We'll rebuild and hope to see you come back when we have a beach again :) - thanks for the comment, and hopefully a like & subscribe
"TIMBER!!!" 😳😳😳😳
no, we got good news today...perhaps back by January - - hey thanks for the comment...would appreciate a like & share too :)
I see people in them, are they still living there?
No. They are vacated
Oh hell no!!! Thats to close for comfort!!!! I never wanted to live by the ocean. I am going more west. More inland!!!
but in Florida right ;)
Army core Engineer s will bring in huge dredge to pump sand back on beach. Here on Long Island NY I saw the beach disappear with homes for decades.
Rock jetties need to be built along shore.
So I was in the miiltary and YES, that's how it SHOULD be done, but oh no, they have "special" places where you can get FLorida beach sand and they don't have nearly enough. This is a BIG problem.
@@Floroseven Politics with Feds .. DeSantis ..
@@MitzvosGolem1 Desantis immediately gave 10M or 20M to get sand...but there is not enough of the "right" sand. Dude, politics here aren't a problem, but older lesislation and environmental stuff could cost us if we can't get an emergency override.
@@Floroseven the feds are the issue. Lobbiests special interest parties block each other.
By the dunlawton Bridge if I'm correct. Crazy to see the damage behind what otherwise looks normal on the other side street view.
Yeah, right? Well, after Ian, there was a lot of flooding and wind damage.
We live a block west of the Dunlawton Bridge. This hurricane was more like a tropical storm where we live. We had no idea as to the extent of the damages until power was restored. They asked that people stay inside so as not to interfere with officials, utility workers, etc. Even homes that were not beachside, were declared a total loss because of the severity of the flooding. Prayers needed for all affected.
@@kathywilliams1694 hotels on the beachside in daytona still doing business with the only hitch their pool deck areas are off limits. Been here 11yrs and I thought I've seen some bad after storm messes. This yr woke me up!
@@TODD_FL44 : I hear ya; I am still in shock!!! I have only seen the videos; it really hurts to see the devastation. Sounds like a good idea to avoid the pool deck areas.
Florida is getting narrower and narrower.
True that
Gotta stop the surf with buildings that close to the water. Huge boulders are best set low ideally 8-10 feet down. It might mean no beach though.
Simple sloped sand would solve it, but that's a big problem right now.
The sea levels have risen enough to cover up parts of Florida! Adios Florida beaches
Eh, we can always add sand :)
O M G 🥺
OMG is right!
Each community is getting a structural engineer to come out and determine if they are safe. The ones on the list they have deemed to be safe they have allowed to go back inside. For instance Towers Grande sits on a separate slab and doesn’t sit on same slab as the pool deck . They are safe and had a structural engineer look at it before anyone was allowed in. They are safe .hope this clears up some uncertainty. Each building is being looked at before anyone is allowed in.
thanks for the info! Many can use this.
I can only imagine what the price will be to stay on Daytona Beach, after all this is possibly fixed!
Only 12 buildings affected like this. You'll see a regular inflationary increase, but so far as AirBnB, prob not much of a change. It will be higher in Feb-June due to lower inventory - - hey thanks for the comment...would appreciate a like & share too :)
This was a Failure on the city to all these people. Ian took the sand barrier and they didnt take the time to build it back up. The wall was bare were a 15 foot sand dune stood strong. Myself and my son walk the beach after ian and gather things that came from the islands . parts of roofs. Weeks before Nicole
^what you said
They should have attacked repairing the breaker wall right after Ian and not waited!
We did, we all did and spent a ton of $$. We weren't prepared for a 2nd tidal hurricane event!
There are only so many company's doing that work
Plus nothing could be done until insurance company s got finished. And there was not enough time to repair until the second hurricane came. It will take years of work to repair and fix this damage.
Oh Snap the ocean is on it's way to take over
not if the engineers stop it!
I hope the building can be saved. Just glad everyone is safe.
Looks affirmative unless we have a serious Nor'Easter. Crossing our fingers - - thanks for the comment, and hopefully a like & subscribe
Sad. Mother Nature can be cruel. There must be State law that protects residents against catastrophic loss. Wishing all involved, the very best 🙏
thank you
Yeah, the state law is don't build on sand next to the ocean
Interesting to see exactly what has happened to these buildings. Music choice in background very strange - the topic is not an idlic Disney movie.
Free music is what I can afford. Play your own music over it.
I like the music
Nice happy music.
Thanks for listening. That's an auto-generated soundtrack from Adobe Premiere Elements.
There is a price to pay for the VIEW.
true dat!
A natureza não pede licença.😢😢😢
The music is nice but I live here and knowing what daytona is like this music is hilarious lol, it's all drugs down here mane
I mean, do you have any meth music (royalty free) to share ;)
my daughter lives about 10 miles North of you. Hope they can fix things back up
Gonna take some time and some government interdiction.
Somebody s out a bunch of money.
eh, we're paying deductibles and assessments. The sand belongs to the state..THEY need to fix this.
Lots of us
Yeh. Everybody regardless of where you live will be paying for this.
Beautiful place
It really is!
Dredge and rebuild the beach.
Like the rest of the state.
You'd think, right? We have to get "special sand" processed and there's not enough. I was in the Navy and hell yeah, set up dredges up and down the coast and we'd have it licked.
Let it fall should have never been built so close to shore last line in the first place
what about our investment?
Thank God that all these people have an abundance of disposable income, and have the ability to move elsewhere! Thank you Jesus!
100 seniors live in my building and are having a hard time. NOT easy for them. Thanks for the compassion.
Watch engineer "jeffostroff" videos on the Champlain collapse. I'd be scared to live in those buildings considering what can happen.
risk/reward..i love the view
I live in Daytona. Nicole destroyed the tourist industry for years to come. Our beaches are destroyed. It will take years to recover.
Even Ian ( 43 days previous) didnt damage us ad bad as the effects of Nicole. Yeah,,we had some flooding and some structural damage on homes. but Nicole destroyed buildings and beaches that Ian never really touched. Yeah Ian scraped two feet from the surface of the beaches and caused localized flooding ( 21 inches of rain in 10 hours) but Nicole destroyed sea walls and alot of the dunes along roadways on the A1A and Atlantic Boulevard. Ian caused the Halifaxe and Reed Canal to flood and overflow,but Nicole took everything else Ian didnt touch.
I'm thinking this should all be settled within 18 months...check back..I'll provide video updates...
Human greed time as come
I just love these "greed" comments. Care to explain?
You can't mess with Mother Nature
I think she messed with us :)
you must be a beginner with that drone, I almost get seasick.
which video? - I"m getting way better.
@@Floroseven Daytona Beach Shores, probably your latest flyover, you started out way too high and the drone was down and up and down and way too far away. Practice practice practice
10 years ... Florida is mostly ... gone. Why didn't you vote for Al Gore?
Florida is the best place I've ever lived. Former military from SoCal...
They built these places at the ocean s door..
What else could eventually be expected...naieity of mankind..sad but could have been prevented with more common sense...
hey, I'm from SoCal...if the hurricane doesn't get you, an earthquake will.....we all have to live somewhere!
Get ur sit and get.
I did yesterday...
Done and done!
Greed plain and simple building upon the sand foolishness to the extreme. I hope other take notice.
"greed" ...uh OK
Omg
tell me about it
