It’s crazy because even on a normal day this road feels super unsafe and like it’s going underwater.

I live 20 mins away from this road. I’ve driven it many a summer all my life. Seeing this is not only feels surreal, but it’s also a Reminder that this is Mother Natures territory and she can destroy us any time she likes.

This is our future.

Wow.

Hope everyone’s houses are ok!

… and the future is now.

She sure can and she might yet.

Is that the only way out there? Do people live our there in the winter?

Winter renters might. My husband’s coworker has a family home that way.

Someone save the lobster stew at Billy’s Chowder House!

Crazy. Reminds me of those underwater bridges. Only, y'know, those are man-made and not the byproduct of whoever pissed off Mother Nature this time...

Yup! These people are going to have a hell of a time trying to sell these properties. They are going to be left holding a very soggy bag...

Soggy Bagginses. Do they live in Underhill or somewhere else in The Shire?

Those photos of the angry sea around Portland Head are something else.

About to be living underwater!

This is precisely why I want to live in the hills. With some effort and knowing what's what, I'll have everything I need right there. Plus high ground to keep my feet from getting wet.

F’realz. Especially when you consider just how high above the ocean that point is at low, or even normal high, tide.

There are several other roads that run parallel to this one down to the beach from Route 1. They're all closed & flooded too.

Wait another 20 years and it will be lol

I've never seen this part flooded before and my mom used to take us hurricane watching out there all the time too

I found (roughly) the same view on google maps if anyone else wants to compare.

And comparing the two is so surreal to me. I just drove on this road in September to help spread my grams’ ashes.

I lived on that marsh, winter of 2014 on oxcart lane. It was miserable. Snow drift went up to my propane tank so it wouldn’t ignite. It cost about 2000$ to keep ‘em full. And we had a 9 foot snow drift that only a front loader could move. Shit sucked bud

As someone who lives on mile road, there were rocks all over the place and a car was stuck in the road until the tide went down. My brother couldn't get to work, so they closed early lol.

Watching the sun set on the megamansions driving home on a summer evening is otherworldly

Yup! There was a line of cars in front of my house lined up to leave

Makes me wonder about Rt 1 through the Scarborough Marsh.

Where can I find those?

Not if, but when…

Further up the sub.

i wonder how biddeford pool held up

At some point oceanfront property values will fall, flood insurance will be declared a "government teat for the lazy masses" or whatever.

Naturally that will happen after they run out of landlords and resort owners to bail out. So it'll be people who stick with their actual primary residence or who were pushed to the coast by poverty and falling property values.

The longer we delay means testing for the National Flood Insurance Program, the more of the wet bag will be passed to people who can't cope with it.
