Ivan,
They'll probably be moved before that happens but the current foundations will most likely become structure. I've been going to the island since the 1980s and portions of the original road I took from Snake Hole to Black Rock is now cobble on the beaches below. Here is another photo of a run-off gully on the SW corner. Hard to believe this gully was once a road we could drive down to the water.

I've always been afraid of that road giving out going around that corner. Especially in the spring in heavy rain.

I know one of the houses up there had finally gotten a permit to build a deck and then his back yard fell off the bluffs.
