As much as I feel bad for these people, at the end of the day you fully accept this risk having a house on the coast. Who I feel the worst for are those who live full time in the areas due to their livelihood. At Edisto we have been lucky with our house standing since 1978 when rebuilt on 3rd row after a hurricane knocked out the previous one on the front beach. It is a risk we have taken and don’t expect the public to federally subsidize rebuilding if it was damaged as it is simply a vacation home, those who live full time and employed in the area have a greater arguement.
"The best things in life make you sweaty"
- Edgar Allen Poe
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us...”
― Henry David Thoreau
