    Any American who lives in Hurricane prone areas can’t comprehend this lasting for more than a decade at best before it is washed away clean.

      We have very few hurricanes in Europe. Most of these houses are hundreds of years old.

      That being said, rising sea levels could destroy this and lots of other towns for good.

        We have a lot of reinforced concrete coastal fortifications built during WWII that have been destroyed due to storms. The storms wash away the land around them, the foundation collapses, and the structure breaks.
