Residents, some with decades of history in the area, are stunned by the exposed, weakened seawall—once a shield, now a surrender point. Experts warn this is a climate-driven “perfect storm,” where rising seas and extreme weather are eroding coastlines faster than defenses can keep up. For homeowners like Dennis Poulsen, who built in 2005, the damage is a brutal wake-up call: the beach is gone, the seawall is spent, and the ocean is now directly attacking their foundations. With evacuation orders, closed boardwalks, and looming higher tides, the community braces for more—while the long-term threat of rising seas looms ever larger.
