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”*

That additional clip you added at the very end was really interesting (and alarming!). The contrast between the separate years was an incredible visual.

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 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.

A natureza é magnífica e nos oculpado um certo espaço que não nos pertence...

All I'm saying is this coulda been 2 minutes long with no narration

A lot of people don't realize that these waves are so heavy and solid that they crush cars and break windows.

I remember the Sea Lion inn in Malibu Ca. Once it had Sea Lions in it when they had a really high tide,

There is something very important thats missing in the Human Race
Its called...Common Sense...

[amclover]

I’m mostly amazed that it was even possible to make buildings where it’s common for waves

[josiptumapa]

First video.... I was like OH EFFFF THAT. 😂 can’t imagine being in that apartment

[faithrada]

People need to RESPECT the Ocean. So much power!

[SnowPink]

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. YouTube has videos on the whole story.

Me: what a beautiful day!

Ocean: I’m going to ruin this mans career

[adrianopalmariniarchitetto]

It is very interesting to see where they built that building!

Imagine sleeping or taking a nap then waking up to this.

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.

If waves are swelling next to glass windows, that's my cue to move away or leave.
