After Ike in 2008, several houses that were already iffy ended up standing in the gulf. They became eyesores as their owners fought for years to change the judgements. It took a few more smaller storms and Harvey in 2017 to finish the jjob.Looks like several of those places won't last beyond the next major hurricane to hit them.
