There was a reason that homes at the beach were built behind the dune line in Florida.
My father explained that to me 60 years ago.

The dunes were put there by hurricanes, maybe thousands of years ago. That is why Floridians at one time had better sense than to build there.

Hard to have much sympathy for anyone dumb enough to build in the dunes on a foundation made of sand
