This past winter the powerfull storms we saw actually eroded the bluffs here in halfmoon bay back 20 or 30 feet in some places. That actually undercut the foundation of what was a small house sitting here on the bluffs and here was concern that the house might fall onto the beach so today they are demolishing this building. This is video of the House Wednesday morning from our helicopter partnership with abc 7. It was torn down just moments after this video was taken. The house, which is about 690 square feet, is actually owned by california state parks. It was built in the 1940s and was most recently used as employee housing but had been vacant for quite some time. When the bluff erosion was discovered, state parks decided to tear it down. Sotthe loss of this house is just the latest casualty of californias record breaking wet weather this past winter. Just to the north in pacifica, erosion along the coast badly damaged this beach access, forced the demolition of an apartment complex and badly eroded this popular trail.
