On the morning of Feb. 27, residents on the south end of Lincoln County's Gleneden Beach woke up to see that a 30-foot seawall that had collapsed. The cliff holding it up had eroded away.

Within days, one home was left hanging.

Terry Schumacher lives just across the street. He's been helping his neighbors move out.

"Just in the last week they've lost about 15 feet, maybe a little more, because now their living room is undercut," he said.

Schumacher was referring to one of four homes impacted by the erosion. With each day, more property washes out to sea.
