Yes!!! Thank U!!! 1Nation4Life -- why do we keep fighting each other, instead of fighting our problems 2gether ?

Hey, lets build some houses with the ocean on both sides of us, duhhhhhhhh otayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 🥴😱. I wouldn't worry too much about a small piece of land like this, hell over the last 3 1/2 years to whole Country has been eroded under Bidenomics!!!

How these idiots made enough money to build a house (that they only visit occasionally) on a sand bar, that no sane or thinking person would, is indicative of how screwed up our society is. NC legislators need to be fired if any tax money is wasted trying to stay the ocean.

Is this going to happen in Cape Cod too!!! Wow!! Such a beautiful place, outer banks, this is worse than Covid

hey idiots you built your house on a sandbar that lies in a hurricane path.

Well,you wanted to be close to the water😂. How stupid can you be . Tear all of the houses down, and let the island return to a natural state.

Wow. Even Serendipity is perilously close to the water again, after being moved back about 14 yrs. ago. This was bound to happen...still sad nonetheless. 😔

...the man who built his house on sand...

I liked it in the 80’s when it was mostly undeveloped. Beautiful and fun place. Lots to be learned there about nature, wind, water and sun!

The ocean always wins....

I feel the same about my tax dollars bailing out student loans and the Ukraine.

Who let that ahole build so far out? Let them pay for it

i definitely wouldn't invest in coastal property. insurance companies are already starting to stop coverage. they say myrtle beach is one of the fastest growing areas in the usa.

I remember when they built those houses. I’m shocked they lasted as long as they have.

The outer banks, barrier islands of North Carolina are nothing more than large sand bars that are constantly changing from adverse weather and wave action, it is a natural occurrence and can't be stopped. Every homeowner in this state subsidizes the insurance for these big houses in case there is catastrophic destruction due to storms which would bankrupt insurance companies, a slush fund if you will, paid for by taxpayers. I am a native of this state and as a child my family visited the area often, there was little on the islands other than the small villages that had been there for decades, the area has been ruined by people, they even drove the wild horses from their habitat to the last place they could go and people are taking over that area to with the big houses. I use to like to visit because it was so baren and devoid of people and crowds, but not anymore.

For years now it's been trying to open a new inlet. The state has been spending money and a waste of time fighting it. Let it happen. Mother nature is telling you she is going to open a new inlet here. We need one. Organ inlet is filling in. Dredging is not working and also a waste of tax dollars. It's been changing for years.

Building all of those miles of dunes seemed like a good idea at the time I suppose. "Are the Outer Banks dunes man-made? In the period between 1936 and 1940, the CCC and WPA, under the direction of the National Park Service, erected almost 3,000,000 feet of sand fencing to create a continuous barrier dune along the Outer Banks-including Hatteras, Pea, and Bodie Islands. NPS History"

Dam morons need to stop trying to build permanent structures on top of barrier islands. They're just sand and the structure isn't going to stay where you put it. There should not be any bailouts for these idiots and you should not be allowed to purchase insurance policies for these houses.

Ocean: Why you guys are here? Owner: We wanted "Oceanfront" house so we can see you. Ocean: Hold on, let me come closer to you, I can come in-front of you 😀😀😀 Owner: Oh taxpayers!!!!!!

That land has been moving for thousands of years maybe you shouldn’t build on it

Before you buy in the outer banks look at what is happening in Rodanthe, NC. Rodanthe, a small coastal town in North Carolina, is facing a devastating crisis as its coastline erodes at an alarming rate of 13 feet per year. Homeowners are losing their properties, and many are wondering why the city allowed development to proceed so close to the ocean. The city's inaction has raised questions about its accountability. Critics argue that it ignored warnings about the dangers of coastal erosion and failed to take steps to prevent it. Property owners are demanding that the city take responsibility for enabling this crisis. Efforts have been made to address the issue, but many experts say it's only a temporary solution. Homeowners are calling for immediate action to prevent further erosion and provide support for those affected. The crisis in Rodanthe serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible development and environmental stewardship. It's essential that we learn from this disaster and take proactive steps to protect our coastlines. For now, residents can only hope that someone will take notice and take action before it's too late.

I surfed the curves north of Rodanthe summer of 1968 with some friends I was 15 and surf spot was a quarter-mile east of where it is today

Give it up

As my grandfather use to say, build your house further out brainless

She's angry!! AWESOME footage!! Thank you!!!

I follow you on Facebook. I love your pictures and videos

Once you see a bird's eye view it became immediately evident how completely useless it is to push sand back where the beach was.

Build at your own risk, nothing wrong with that. It is unAmerican to be jealous of those that have more though.

Maybe they could just turn this entire island into the state’s largest free public park and RV campground. I certainly would enjoy visiting.

Too bad people in NC don’t believe in climate change, this is what you get.

Kinda sad watching that loader try and fight the ocean..............will never win that fight.

Sadly you can't fight the ocean. This should be a warning to all settlements on coastlines around the world. We're all just a few meters from a major life change. A life change many of us may live to see. These properties serve as the "canary in the coal mine" to warn us what will happen and how puny our efforts to stop it really are. That picture of the one puny Earth moving machine working against the entire Atlantic ocean, was the perfect shot.

You live near the beach then put up with this its called erosion due to climate change people get use to it your houses are rooted.

🎉❤

Im sorry but people should simply not be allowed to build in areas like this.

I love the coast but the outer banks was never my favorite. Surf city or wrightsville are better choices. I did notice them adding sand to wrightsville about a month ago.

Anyone who ignores the risk of building on sand this closes to an ocean can eat the loss. I don’t care how much beach disappeared due to erosion. It’s sand. It’s a bad choice.

I live down the street and have a serious problem with my tax dollars bailing out these property owners, virtually none of whom live here. If they want sand, let them pay for it themselves.

I have wonderful memories of vacationing in Rodanthe and the Outer Banks. It is a shame that future generations will not have these memories. But I can't help but wonder whether residents and owners don't believe in big government and socialism, yet want taxpayers to pay part of the cost of saving their cottages

Years ago,in a hearing somewhere,some ppl decided that climate change, didn't exist,in my honest personal American opinion. That personally,saw it going 20 year's ago. Thanks for real photos,and, showing the poor,how the rich live.

Looks like it's time to red tag those homes!

No taxpayer money should be spent to remedy poor decision making. That's a sand bar that is going to erode.

Sunday school song Don’t Build Your House On Sinking Sand. 😢

Poseidon flexing his muscles. The remainder of that spit of land that should never have been built upon will be returned to the sea as well.

Bail out the residents to help them buy homes elsewhere, but let those who bought/built houses there as investments to rent out eat the loss. They took the risk, they should pay the price.

What is going to Happen to Hatteras ? 13 ft per year ? There will be nothing left of it in 10 years. Is there anything being done to stop or slow down the erosion ?

Nature is constantly reshaping the earth! Islands have come and gone, mountains turned to plains, plains turned into mountains!!!

Pelo volume da água vai cobrir

My family vacations down there every August. It is my happy place. I think the Black Pearl will stand until completely submerged. That would be better than her collapsing into the water. We never stayed there, but it was always the first house i noticed coming into Rodanthe over the years. Thanks for this amazing video!

The ocean has reclaimed that strip of land. This erosion will not reverse or stop. The only option is to move, even if it means taking a loss.
