\n Beachfront homes in Australia worth millions were ordered to evacuate on Monday after a coastal storm triggered massive waves that eroded away cliffs.<\/p>\n

A total of 18 homes were evacuated in Wamberal on Australia\u2019s Central Coast after the shoreline was severely eroded by the storm that brought nearly 40-foot waves to the coast.<\/p>\n

Two houses have partially collapsed and encroaching swells were eroding other houses\u2019 foundations, spurring the structures to be evacuated \u201cindefinitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wamberal residents told local media<\/a> they were upset the local council had not built a sea wall to combat the longstanding issue of erosion and protect their properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we were in a bushfire and there was a fire next door\u2026we\u2019d be allowed to defend our property,\u201d Margaret Brice told News.com.au.<\/p>\n

Drone footage from UNSW Water Research Laboratory\u2019s Chris Drummond shows the damage caused by the coastal storm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week\u2019s coastal storm has left its mark on Wamberal on the NSW Central Coast with multiple properties being undermined,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n

The erosion in recent days is the worst since 1978 when huge surf led to another collapse of a home.<\/p>\n

Another resident, Warren Hughes, told the Sydney Morning Herald that the council declined in 2016 to build a sea wall in addition to preventing residents from taking any steps privately to protect their homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put sandbags in and the council threatened to sue me for using the wrong fabric on the sandbag,\u201d he told the paper. \u201cWe\u2019re considering a class action because of the sheer expense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Utilities will be shut off on Tuesday and it\u2019s unlikely that the owners of properties that end up damaged or destroyed will be able to have any of it covered.<\/p>\n

Erosion is commonly not covered by home insurance, according to News.com.au.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome (policies) cover storm surge under certain circumstances, (but) most household policies do not cover actions of the sea,\u201d Insurance Council of Australia spokesman Campbell Fuller told The Daily Telegraph.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
