Sorry to hear you went through all that during that time period. I'm sure it's not a pleasant thing to go through. On the other hand we could use some crazy waves to strip these beaches to make it more lively to be able to recover more targets and blow some of that lost treasure from hundreds of years ago and the modern jewelry just waiting to be found. Sponge and Gator boy have been seriously sanded in for too long. I also hope my buddy OBN gets some sand stripping waves up his way as well. After all this is a treasure hunting website and this is the thing we need to get things going again so I hope it happens to the beaches but not to people's property. It's time to wash up some more of the queens fleet to these guys that wait for it and hunt day after day knowing that, that day could come without a hint. Our beaches have been ruined by replenishment projects, (lol) burying our treasures of the sea that we just can't dig up fast enough before some tree hugger wants the beaches back to the way they used to be. If nature wants to reshape Our coastline then it should be left alone, not re shaped the way people want it, while dumping 10ft of sand on top of all that lost Gold, Platinum, and...well maybe not silver, oh wait forgot about reales! Sorry silver too. They could keep spending millions of dollars year after year to satisfy the beach goers but Mother Nature will win again and again. I haven't seen a hurricane since Gloria in the 80's up in N.Y.. It's time!... I sold my pretty truck so drop a palm frond on my current vehicle, I don't care! I'm ready to hunt gold matey's Bring on the STORM!

Its a choice we make when we choose to live or work on the Gulf Coast. Incidentally during the second half of the 20th century, the Gulf coast has gotten the brunt of the worst storms.
During the early to mid 1900's it was Florida's east coast that got hammered over and over. In the 19 teens , 20's and thirty's on three different occasions, Merrit Island, Indialantic, Melbourne beach, Sebastion shores and most of the Barrier Islands all the way south past Hollywood, Miami and the Florida Keys were completely submerged by Huge Tidal surges that left the entire coasts under water for several days following the initial storm events.
That has not happened to the Eastern Floridian coast in so long that most current residents are not aware that it is even remotely possible. They just can't imagine that scenario occurring. When it does again, it won't be possible to locate A1A, even from the air. In most places the pavement will no longer be there at all. The relative location of the causeways, and GPS will be the only way to determine bearings.
There will be no landmarks, just sand.... There will be stretches of coastline that retain no evidence at all of the present housing tracts and strip centers that exist there now.
All the building material that they once consisted of will be located in the form of a huge stretch of 1/2 block wide by 50 foot tall wall of debris resting against the cliffs of the much higher East Floridian mainland that borders the western banks of the Indian River.
The mainland cities of Melbourne Palmbay, Cocoa Beach, Titusville or Orlando will have very little evidense of storm damage compared to the coastal barrier Islands which will no longer be recognizable.
Oh yeah, and the first two and 1/2 stories of all the high-rises will be gutted down to the flame ******ant that covers their support beams. What's left of their slabs will be suspended over a five foot tunnel that will lead through to the other side, but otherwise they will remain just fine.....
but no hurricane!
