March 9, 2013 - Mother Nature At It Again
TODAY'S HEADLINES: Storm claims 3 homes Powerful blast leaves destructive path on Plum Island http://cellar.org/2012/plum island house in sea.jpg 41 Annapolis: no longer a valid address http://cellar.org/2012/41_Annapolis_Way_2006.png This is a "before" pic from 2006: Living on the Coast, as I do (the OTHER coast), we quickly learn to respect Mother Nature and King Neptune. I've watched many a "seaside" property become a "sea bottom" property . . . Now, after being sick for three weeks, I hope to have a spell of wellness. :fingerx: The doc says I need about a month to recuperate. |

CM: Hope you get better even faster.
I have trouble seeing the house being washed away in the lower (before) photo. I can't match up the roof, window or deck structures. I have always been jealous of water-front home owners, even while resenting their "no trespassing" signs |

CM - hoping you heal smoothly as possible. |
I think it's a bit unfair to blame all this on mother nature.
How about "obvious inevitable consequences of foolish humans building houses on sea-side sand dunes, having listened to the blithe assurance of the real estate developer who paid kickbacks to the council". And that's before we even mention climate change. Well, I suppose that is a bit long. |
How about 'natural consequences for thoughtless people who expect the rest of us bail out (directly or indirectly) their decision to build beach houses on sand dunes'. Guess that's a little long, too.
Of course we WILL be forced to bail them out. :mad: |
Pardon me for saying so, but those houses look pretty ugly to me. Maybe mother nature thought the landscape needed cleansing.
|
Most modern beach houses look like hell here.
|
Well after all, they're only temporary shelters. :haha:
