The first pic was of the ‘Sunbliss’ snack & juice bar, still holding on; one could see far away the shape of a building falling into the water; the pic above is of that falling house, seen closer up.

the erosion is astonishing
the structures seem salvageable, or at least many of the materials reusable
it’s a relief to see the mitigation possibilities

Both buildings are supposedly still salvageable,,, the small one of course in an easier way. Our little group here reviews as fast as possible the various existing techniques for both short term and long term protection.

yes, that the buildings remained square, really, it’s just that they were undercut.
being able to jack them up and moving them more inland is great mitigation for the restoration work
This type of disaster recovery was part of my former profession, but I never had to manage a project on this scale.
you know, there’s something really funny about emergency preparedness, you end up almost wishing for disasters to happen just to put your training into practice.
i guess this is why the media is as it is, that whole it bleeds it leads, they deal in misery too much and they lose perspective and what the real world meaning is……
the danger of being a specialist over a generalist, I suppose.

Oh! I see!… So you have all kinds of hidden knowledge in you, that slowly gets revealed!!! I like your more general comments about that too, they are quite true…
