Yeah, I may have previously mentioned this, but good friends of mine have two condos in Daytona Beach. They stayed there and videotaped the waves crashing over the wall to the back parking lot, which was a reasonable distance from the normal high tide. Crazy as they were, they were safe and actually partied with other residents that chose to stay as well.
