It will deteriorate much earlier, though, because salt water is slowly pushing into the freshwater reservoirs.

Here is a neat idea. How about roll down shutters that lock into place to protect the big fragile windows.

Yeah, 'cause that'll stop the ocean.

Cool idea, nature is more powerful then us
Interesting I did not think of it like that, good point. What about building the sea facing side of the building as a point like the bow...
Of a ship to deflect the waves or a round building? I have seen this before, even in avalanche prone areas.

Might as well stop the tide with a flyswatter.

King Cnut liked this. Proof that the sea doesn't care about kings, or any other people. It's gonna do what it does.

They were in the wrong position too, looks like the force of the wave hits top middle and no one was there except for lady by the door.

They're luck it was the hinges not the glass that gave way first. Would probably have been less damage if they had just opened it.

You don't have to be stronger, you just have to keep the force static to support the latches. That said, trying to defend a glass fronted
business against water is just asking to be made a fool of.
varsipieru
You don’t need a big wave to have one cubic meter of water. That weights 1000 kg. Yup, you can just push it back where it came from.

I have a good idea, let's cut down these mangroves and build a restaurant.

black mangroves are the best, their leaves taste like potato chips. they filter salt water and deposit salt on their leaves. theyre awesome

Know what would be good...if there was some sort of wavebreak or something.

No, this was in Italy 2018 when there were bad storms and flooding of the canals.
culinarydream7224
Hopefully they have insurance, so they can not get paid for the damage and then dropped from their plan
VolcanoHerder
I was dropped from a plan for calling to see if something was covered within the first month of opening the plan. A plan that it turns out I
wasn't even on so they couldn't even tell me if it was covered. But they allowed me to get added to it after, then immediately cancelled it
since apparently you're not allowed to even inquire about the plan until you've had it for several months. Fuck you AAA.
Klaaism
Fear not! The insurance companies know what they are doing! ...to cover their asses.
JiffyGee
Yeah acts of god aren’t covered. Wonder what they’d say if you asked which god or told them you were atheist so that didn’t apply to you...
lest they want a discrimination lawsuit for discriminating against your religion or lack there of.
DVSBSTrD
Flood insurance you have to buy separately.
decarnatedame
And never sold another plan because DUH
Let me just sell you this plan with coverage you'll never need, because if you did need it, we wouldn't sell you this plan
But... does it cover acts of God?
Salesman: yes customer service: yes fine print: no
betmcc19721
Or flood damage on their policy!
ruferto
to be fair, i didn't know about trees roles in stopping flooding until i saw it explained by a scientist who also included helpful pictures

Did you decide to cut down a bunch of mangroves before seeing it explained?
OhFFSJustgivemeaname
Have you been involved in granting planning permission on coastal properties? If not, that’s ok.
AlmostScientist
Well actually people should know it anyways because then they can vote so local legislation can prevent these things from happening
if only there were an easy way to keep everyone informed about the underlying facts behind things instead of political shashaying :(

Yeah no one thinks everyone knows about that, but the ppl about to cut down a bunch of mangroves should probably have asked

This is why building permits exist, bc plans are taken into consideration of environmental, ecological, community, traffic, etc, impacts
