Here in coastal SE NC we have a lot of pile supported elevated homes in the beach barrier islands. The ones that keep the ground floor level open for waves and water to flow generally survive structural damage. Many illegally or legally close up the ground level perimeter for extra bedrooms or apartments and these are guaranteed to suffer great damage.
