3. While that house was waiting to be washed away, when I was a kid, renting a house on a Carolina beach

was a lot of fun. Back in 50s, it was relatively cheap.

But it’s time to face reality. Even if we suddenly did everything right henceforth regarding climate, we’d still see these houses washing away.

4. My God. Guess they don't remember Matthew 7:24-27 about building on solid rock/land.

24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. 25 Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. 26 But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. 27 When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
