For others, "Humarock" is a section of Situate, MA on a peninsula
with the ocean on one side and the "South River" on the other.
8 miles north from my house.


Damn, not pretty at all.

It's been worse.

It sure shows the value of building on stilts. In the outer banks of NC, Nags Head area, I've seen
lots of houses where the stilts are enclosed, making storage area, garage, etc. It would seem like
this would put an extra burden on the stilts when weather like that hit.

The walls are supposed to be designed so they blow out. There is a lot
of abuse to that FEMA rule about no habitable space below the
"finished floor". I see houses all the time that are using that
utility space as part of the home. The trend these days, as soon as
you get off the beach is to fill the lot up several feet and build on
a stem wall to get to FEMA. The community that Judy built had over 4
feet of fill and they still built on a 5 block stem wall.
