Collapsed Five-Story Building at Romar Beach
Detailed Description
The lower two floors of the five-story building in the center of these photos have collapsed and the third floor has fallen to ground level. Erosion in front of the buildings undermined pools and walkways, and perhaps the buildings themselves (although the failure mode must await analysis by structural engineers.) Note the sandy overwash deposits that were driven landward between the buildings by storm waves and currents.

Obique photos offer a unique perspective of the coast. Features such as beach erosion or accretion, dune erosion and overwash can all be clearly characterized in this imagery. It also documents coastal infrastructure, as well as the damage that infrastructure may incur as the result of an impacting hurricane.
