Were those houses built on the beach or did they wash down that apparent washed out area that looks like a dry river bed?

The next article with flames engulfing another city doesn’t look so good either.

My friends tell me the houses did not move; the beach used to be further from the houses.

One of the places vulnerable to climate change :(
More rain in a single storm is one of the better studied symptoms of the global warming.
I hope the displaced people can rebuild their lives soon.
