The report says that when they purchased the home in 1980 it sat a mile back from the beach. In thirty years the property slowly eroded away until this last storm took the ground out from under it.
During that thirty years, why didn't they move the house? That isn't such a big deal these days. At some point during those thirty years they must have realized that eventually the house was going to fall. Jack it up. Put it on a flat bed. Move it to another location. Set it down. End of problem.
