GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Erosion at the lakeshore is continuing to worsen as fall storms brew up big waves.
Lake Michigan is inching closer and closer to many homesand there’s no real way for homeowners to stop it.
“We’ve lost probably 80 to 100 feet of beach already,” homeowner Paul Griffeth said as he walked News 8 cameras through his beachfront property just south of Grand Haven.
Griffeth said it has gotten so bad that he was forced to tear up portions of his walkway to the beach. Now it ends in a steep drop-off over the sand dune.
“They went all the way out to the beach at one point. That was over two years ago. We’ve lost that much,” he said.
