That is pretty amazing. Reminds me of the story "The Three Little Pigs".

The next storm that coms around that house is the first one that gets it!

Note the ground level material is stripped away - structurally, the cosmetic stuff is gone. But, the living areas appear to be intact.
It looks like there are more piers in the ground than typically required for houses in that region.
Yes, that contractor will be busy with new construction for quite some time.
