In a matter of days, Hoover Beach has seen the extremes of Mother Nature.

On Monday, dripping ice was falling from homes that were encapsulated by thick sheets of ice.

Last week, high winds pushed water from Lake Erie onto the homes.

Residents like Chris Mattioli says unwanted guests were stopping by to get their own photos before the ice melt.

"It was almost like a circus atmosphere here over the last few days," said Mattioli. "I think people get so caught up in what they’re seeing they forget there is a human element to it. People were trespassing in yards, parking in people's driveways."

Hamburg Police are reminding spectators that Hoover Beach is private property and enforcing the no trespass law especially for safety concerns.

"You have tons of ice that are on these houses, we're worried some of the ice collapsing," said Lieutenant Nicholas Budney.

Mattioli and other homeowners are looking at long-term solutions to sparing their homes. They hope it will be similar to the current project to protect Route 5.

"We're actually applying for a FEMA which is a federal level grant to help create some mitigation devices to break the wave energy," said Mattioli.

Despite the back to back storms, residents say living there is still worthwhile.

"It's kind of rare that you can have your own sandy beach in Western New York," added Mattioli. 

Mattiolli says he plans to renovate and repair the parts of the home that were damaged by the storm. Though his family won't be able to live in the home for another two to three months, he says there are several factors that have them coming back.

"It's a great location, it’s a great community, neighbors are friendly and real tight with each other. Those three to four months that we get in the summer make the rest of the year worthwhile."
