It’s difficult to feel sorry because building on a beach is idiotic.
Having somebody build your home on the beach who has no clue what they're doing, Is idiotic there are lighthouses and homes and buildings along the beach that have lasted hundreds of years I guess they knew what they were doing.
@@martintimberlake2243at least one historic lighthouse in the Carolinas has been moved inland due to costal erosion due to climate change.
it's call erosion, the house didn't start it's life so close to the water. Now add a storm to the mix and your front yard has waves in it.
@@IOERROR622 Why was it built on stilts if it wasn't so close to the water?
Like most peoples comments on RUclips including this one
How about they remove the homes before all of that material gets wiped into the ocean?
Insurance purposes
@@InfiniteIlluminate Okay so money over environment. They liked the beach so much, they wanted to live near it. Now their house can pollute it. Fantastic.
@@InfiniteIlluminatedoubt there is insurance on those places. And it also begs the question of how old these camps are to be allowed to build on the sand, in other words, how much erosion has accrued since built. Facts galore are need to just assume. Owners will never remove that debris. If they do/did they are one in a million.
Too late
See its already going into the ocean see ?
Looks like those houses are damn near built IN the high tide wtf
Except for the fact that when they were built over 50 years ago, they weren't nearly that close to the ocean
Wait till you hear about erosion. It will blow your mind
@@Randysgirl fun fact…. Since 1880 sea levels have only risen 8 roughly.
Another fun fact… those houses were built there on purpose! This wasn’t caused by sea level increasing over 50 years!
@@bobphillips1330 "This wasn’t caused by sea level increasing over 50 years!" Correct.. It was cause by Coastal erosion, the OB has up to 15' a year!
@@bobphillips1330 Your fun fact is not a fact at all. Why do you feel the need to lie?
I will never understand the fascination of wanting to live next to water. The water ALWAYS wins!
Over the course of the entire history of the world, most people have been living close to water. Without water you die and not everyone dug wells. Lots of people got the majority of their food from the water and it was used as a major transportation method. Only in the last 200 years has civilization advanced enough to allow water to be piped into remote areas devoid of standing water. It's not so much a "fascination" as it is a habit. Living on a coast is considered to be "luxury" living and people who have the money to afford a home there AND the insurance will always places themselves in luxury!
@@justdoingitjim7095Apparently they learned to drink seawater, if they didn't dig wells.
Not just water, the OCEAN’s edge!
Because, people really are stupid?
You mean on the water😂
Building a house near the ocean is one of the dumbest thing you could do
Look up John Stossel Freeloaders: The Wealthy.
He explains why they can do this.
Bet the ocean wasn’t there when it was built!
@sheliawhite2567 you lose.
They will BULID another DEMOCRAP house 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Most humans live near the oceans.
Jesus said, don't build your house on the sand, build it on rock.
well Jesus must have never seen the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, also built on sand with no bedrock. Modern Engineering is wondrous isnt it :D
@@Boxbrain-1 What type of foundation is used for Burj Khalifa?
reinforced concrete mat
The superstructure is supported by a large reinforced concrete mat, which is in turn supported by bored reinforced concrete piles. The design was based on extensive geotechnical and seismic studies. The mat is 3.7 metres thick and was constructed in four separate pours totaling 12,500 cubic meters of concrete.
Luke 13:4 Lol!
Haha me to comment same
Amen
And folks because of this the rest of us have sky high insurance on our only residence. Kinda sick of shouldering bad decisions like building on an ocean’s shore, not a lake, an ocean.
They can't get insurance Sherlock and what they can get they pay out the nose for.. So not costing you a dime in your government housing
I'm pretty sure that it's the Federal government that insures homes built near the ocean. Which is even worse.
@@hezmydaddyo2722 not exactly. Most if not all private insurance companies would not insure the homes that are this close to the ocean. NFIS is insurance offered by the govt backed by your tax dollars mostly used for rich people's beach homes. John stossel did a great short piece on how the tax payer rebuilt his beachside home after he got NFIS bc no private insurer would.
Build your house on sand and it will be destroyed!
Funny thing, Didnt the Bible warn about this?
@@virginiabrady3536 They were there for years and the ocean moved in. It wasn't like that when they were built.
@@blueeyedsoulman it was sand.
@@blueeyedsoulman considering the house is completely raised off the ground, it clearly was built that way.
@@blueeyedsoulmanlol. The houses are on stilts. Please tell us how much the ocean has actually risen in the past 30 years and why Martha’s Vineyard is still the hotspot? Some idiots build their houses on the beach, and you want to blame it on climate change. The Bible warned of this a thousand years ago before the Industrial Revolution.
Why they didn’t remove this before crashing into the ocean with all this debris and trash now in the water
Like what? You see a weather report and tear your house down before it comes?
because insurance only pays after it collapses
if you have to wait for the tide to go out to build your home youre asking to lose it
The ocean wasn't always that close to the house. I've seen houses built like this in New Orleans they are built back off the beach like every other beachfront property and they're built on those stilts in case there's a flood. The problem is the sea level is rising. Where there's sand, there used to be an ocean, the sea is taking her land back.
@@e.blue37 asking seriously: Sea levels in NC have risen 4.62 millimeters per year on average since 2013. Does that really make that much of a difference?
These properties should of been torn down or moved, now they pose a threat to the environment and anyone in the area.. this is a disgracfull lack of regulation by the state. This is a crisis that was ignored by the local and state government. There will be at least a dozen or more properties going into the ocean.. you can see several in this video are already in the surf.. it is only a mater of days before they too are gone, adding more garbage floating in the tide, you can see the concrete septic tanks being expossed.. this is a COMPLETE DISASTER
They can not file an insurance claim on them until the ocean knocks it down.
Regulation huh? Yea like the country needs any more of that. Mind your business, leave others alone.
Should "of", huh?
That kind of environmental contamination is EVERYBODY'S business. Who privatized the entire Atlantic Ocean? No one--at least not yet. The ocean still is public and no individuals have any right to dump their derelict houses, furniture, fixtures, miscellaneous debris and broken apart septic systems into it! If FEMA had rational capabilities, theyd participate (along with private insurers, and take the lead) in preventative dismantling of at-risk properties like that to remove them before they tumble.@@johnwalker863
Lol bot... climate change monster
Well, you know what you signed up for when you build a house near a body of water, no sympathy for these people
That's what happens when people build a house on a sand bar.
"HONEY WE NOW HAVE A HOUSE BOAT"
😂
Funny how rich folks always build houses in the two worst places a house can be built... By water, or on hills.
What's Really Sad is the Fact, You are Forced to help pay for the Damage through higher Insurance Subsidies to help cover the Insurance Companies Losses and you like myself are hour's away from the Ocean ! Rich people make the Rules !
Because these homes were grandfathered in following a halt on building too close to coast lines many are very old.
Owner can still attempt some preventative measures, but they are not allowed to rebuild.
😢
True but even that won't help. Years from how the beach will erode and the houses that are currently pushed back will be on the water. Unless beach erode is controlled it will keep happening. And to be honest very few beach cities maintain the beach erotion. It cost a lot of money to dredge sand and bring on to the beach.
Wow, I didn’t know they weren’t allowed to rebuild. 😢
@@JayBergeron GOOD!!! Common sense reigns, after all👍.
@@karyndewit193 yeah it kind of sucks. If you ever go to Atlantic City just down the coast line is a city called Longport. Longport started on 11th street. The first 10 were washed away and the others weren't able to rebuild. Imgine losing your home and property all at the same time. That must suck.
Maybe if someone yells” oh my god” a hundred times it will stop!
Why in the world are they gasping OMG! to something that was slowly, inevitably happening, that you should have gotten a grip on many days ago?
Perhaps they could try "Allahu Akbar!"?
God does not forgive stupidity
@@MikeBarbarossa It's a common response for many people for a calamity such as this.
He did give a warning on building on sand.
I lived in a country surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and lots of rivers and creeks. Commonsense tells you, you don't build houses close to the sea and you the rivers.
That's the major problem. Commonsense is not common today. It's been replaced with hubris and ego.
@@edwardcuevas6974nobody has any common sense these days
- another genius from the 1700's
Insurance for locations like this is federally subsidized because insurance companies aren't dumb enough to insure them.
And neither FEMA not feds will pay either. Nor should they.
You mean taxpayer subsidized!!!! Pathetic !!!!
That’s ridiculous! I don’t want my tax$ paying for some rich person’s vacation home
That's complete misinformation lol. Having fun making up bs? The people that own these homes are rich. Fema and any entity of the IS government look at your tax returns. Gtfoh you've obviously never been through a hurricane or have any idea of what you speak of. Most ridiculous thing I've read all day.
@@nathanielovaughn2145 Oh good I thought we taxpayers had to send in FEMA. Of course in Daytona our Gov't is somehow rebuilding the beach again. Houses and motels galore.
The worst part is all of the debris going into the ocean and polluting the homes of fish and other ocean life
It's bad for the owners that this happens, but they should get penalized for the public mess they allow to happen by letting their home get smashed up & littering garbage all over the shore !!! Somebody else can easily get hurt by that dangerous situation !
Those houses should have never been zoned to build on a sandbar.
It’s a sandbar!!!
Why is there still a power line connected to that house? I mean, it's obviously been condemned so no one has been living in it...guess they want to wait and see how much damage can be done to the main power lines when the house finally collapses? I swear there has to be a box on the application for city council jobs that states "are you an idiot?" that gets checked 100% of the time...
It hasn’t obviously been condemned, actually. I know reading is hard and all...but geez.
Why would you think this house was condemned? This is what happens when we get storms. The water level rises and houses fall. You clearly have no understand of living near the beach so maybe use that imaginary checkbox and see your way out of the comments.
@@Invictus13666 Yeah, you obviously know it hasn't been condemned...I see critical thinking is hard...geez.
@@IOERROR622 Why would you think that house is habitable? And what the heck does your last sentence even mean? Don't cook your brain cells trying to type more than a couple sentences at a time...lol
@@KG-xt4oq a simple search would show you the house was being rented until the beach had eroded in the beginning of the summer.
"Troy and his family have owned the home since 2008 and hoped to move it before the collapse.
"At the beginning of the summer, we lost 13 vertical feet. We lost the staircase. We lost part of the septic system," he said. "We chose not to rent it out the rest of the summer because we were going to wait and see what the beach did, see if it came back.""
And finally my last sentense was in reference to your comment "box on the application" that doesn't exist.
The simple truth is you talk about something you have information on and are too lazy to do anything to get the information.
The kind of worry I had as a child in the 1960s today it's called Climate Change too much waste, pollution and people here just one results of human madness 😮.
Dumbest comment today. 🤡
I don’t even build houses in my games this close to the water😂
Sir, you can't park that there
😂
*_IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE!!!_*
Showing our age, ain't we😏⁉️
You just made me feel ancient. Thanks cousin. 🤭
😂
I will NEVER understand why people build on sand next to the ocean. Plain stupid. Hard to feel sorry for them.
It wasn't built on sand, it had a concrete foundation and pylons for the wood to be driven into so it could survive hurricanes. The tide brought the sand in, and the weathering of the stilts from all the recent storms, rise of sea level, and erosion made the house collapse. The sand doesn't just disappear when erosion occurs; it gets carried around and dispersed by the water.
This video is sponsored by "fuck around and find out"
Why would someone build their house there?
Haven't you ever heard the saying "only a fool builds a castle on Sand?" I mean come on. They had to know this was going to happen eventually when they built it.
@@brycesstuff Jimmie Hendrix sang a song, of this nature.
another million dollar property goes into the angry sea.
Mother Nature Will Always Win. 🏆
Rich people! They can build another one.
New headine, "wealthy person loses home due to stupidly building next to the sea.".
Not all beach houses are owned by the wealthy.
New Headline "Poor person is jealous of people with money and enjoys their pain.".
I do enjoy it so.😊😊😊😊😊
hope they get fined for all the trash on the beach now
Not the best way to build a house boat.
People in the comments acting like they don't know about the millions of other houses built on the ocean front that this didn't happen to.
Many of these houses are investments and rental properties and what you see in the video is what is called 'risk.'
DO NOT build your home on the BEACH!!!!! That is DUMB!
Nights in Rodanthe
I literally watched this video to make sure it wasn't that house.
@@aflojo I did too.
Days too apparently. 😂
INSURANCE NEEDS TO STOP INSURING HOMES LIKE THIS
@@chriscalderin6677 I don’t feel the need to respond in caps (shout) to get my point across…few insurance companies WILL write these policies and if they do the cost it outrageously high. The majority of those that build MUST meet permit standards or there will be no utilities. If mortgaged the mortgage company WILL require insurance. Insurance can be as much if not more than the house is worth per year. Yes, rich folks can afford this. So frankly it’s none of your business what people choose to do with their money. It is however your business when your tax dollars are spent on illegals and not American citizens. Vote smart.
@@dazeddee8485 if it is not my business then would it also not be your business to tell me it is not my business
@@chriscalderin6677 perhaps, giving you some facts about insurance requirements, et al?
Rich peoples problems....
The only worry they had was the demolition of it, and hauling away the garbage.
They Used Their Main Disposal Unit, THE OCEAN!
No More Problems, No Added Expenses!
WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THEY'RE ALLOWING THEM TO BE SWALLOWED BY THE OCEAN?
They save thousands of dollars.
“Ocean levels rising won’t affect anything, it’s more beach front property.”
Not my words…
This is a cautionary story for a lot of rich people that want to live by the ocean. The water is always gonna win and you never know when it’s gonna be you.
Who don't know not to build a house on sand?
Who doesn't know you don't build a house on sand at the waterfront ?
All these people saying " don't build your house that close to the water" - I'm SURE when they built these houses they were a significant distance away from the water - rising oceans teamed with strong tides, along with major storms tend to eat beaches away overtime, places that were once considered safe are now in the danger zone..... so while grandpa was living large, his grand kids/ great grand kids are watching their home wash away....
It's still too close to the water.
Hold on now God is just now getting started with America because she's turned her back on him while television evangelists receive all of their spare cash.
Wackjob
Lmao
Not from me
Stop it!
Amen to that!
Nice to see mother nature fighting back!
This is on the Outer Banks, like who couldn't have seen this coming 60 years ago?? those islands have been eroding for a long time, it's just happening faster these days. They'll be gone one day soon.
I was fortunate enough to visit the Outer Banks before they started crowding shops, condos, and other things on them. They were mostly wild and it was beautiful out there. If you wanted to stay out there back then, you camped. I visited again about 12 years ago and I wish I hadn’t. I probably won’t go again.
Nature is terrifying.
Yes, Mother Nature can be. I'm sorry for the owners, but common sense did not prevail here.
You mean a house that was improperly built in a zone that shouldn't have been built in lol.. this is what the owner deserves, i hope insurance gives em the finger.
Why would any insurance company issue a policy on that house?
Someone once told a parable about the man who builds his house on the sand.
What a ridiculous place to build a house 🤦🏼♀️ what else could one expect???
So if the house stood up for as long as the people were screaming, would they have kept screaming ?
They just dont build em like they used too.
😂
This has been going on since the 1950s. Out of State wealthy bought up cheap , undeveloped beach front from SC border to Cape Hatteras and built summer homes too close to the shoreline. Everything is fine until a storm from the east blows in and pushes the tide right up to the front door. I've lived in NC all my life and sea levels haven't risen much, at all and insurance companies proved it when claims were made. Easy to tell from the fishing piers that go out 100s of meters. Time will tell what is really causing Global Warming, and Co2 is not the #1 cause. The early 50s science blamed rising temperatures on fluorocarbons from aerosol spray cans, and Freon gas making a hole in the ozone layer at the North Pole. Co2 is 40% lighter than air. It feeds plants, not the stars and doesn't collect in a dense blanket over every other heavier gases in our air. The true cause of global warming is not something that the wealthy Machine can tax us gullible peasants for. When a crisis makes the rich richer, you can bet they created the cause, and the cure for that same crisis. Prove me wrong!
"For Sale, by Owner, 2 level.... make that 1 level, water front property, all offers considered"
Not sure about this house but Jon Stossel did a news segment on homes that are built near high danger areas. Its called Freeloaders: The Wealthy
When did it become a bad thing in this country to work hard and make money! Socialist like yourself should try other countries with Rulers who share your point of view , please go check them out ! You know that old Mark Twain saying about opening your mouth and confirming it..Well you confirmed it... lolol
That's odd. "Rich" people provide opportunities. Broke azzes tend to be real freeloaders.
The ocean is reclaiming its property!!
Now it's a boat house
Damn if only we saw this coming 🥱
😂
What a mess!
Wow. The amount of fools asking, "Why did they build their house there" is astounding! People truly are dumb as a box of rocks.
Why is the state DES allowing this to happen. The homeowner should be forced to dismantle the home before this. This is polluting the ocean!
Lesson: Don’t build your home near the ocean.
I can’t imagine the loss that the people who live there must be feeling. The ocean is unforgiving. I only hope that everyone is safe and ok.
Ever since the jetties at Oregon inlet were built the natural sand migration from North to South has stopped South of the inlet which is where this erosion has been occurring for decades. The barrier islands naturally move west and south in mid Atlantic states and I know this because I spent half my life there on Hatteras Island. I even helped move the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and was there on vacation when the foundation to the first lighthouse fell into the ocean. Electric cars are not going to prevent natural erosion and sand migration.
That'll be Florida soon. Woohoo!!
I grew up on the water washington state on the mighty columbia rive. It was the best part of growing up. The dark blue pacific ocean was just 30 miles away. Lots of boat houses on the river wood docks, landings some houses were on stilts not to many. But we don have any of this kind of construction it would not be smart given the day in day out of constant storms that come off the ocean. I cant think of anywhere else that construction like this except Southern california. Sad
Beautiful river. Wicked current.
And the hurricane hasnt even gotten there yet. 😂
How awful may God bless protect you all from powerful water storm ☔️ may I never lose my house in Jesus name
God doesn't protect the Stupid, that is handled by the government. Pray for them.
It will most likely have the other one down soon if it keeps smashing in to it!😮
So much for the yard sale this weekend
😂
Whhhhhhhhhy didn’t it get moved? If this happens in this region why is it not part of local taxation to accompany the rare instance a beach house needs to be moved inland. Why is this not projected?
Why isn’t the city removing these homes instead of allowing the debris go into the ocean. Makes no sense.
They aren't in a city.
Look like the house building. Too close to the sea.
Insurance shouldn't pay for houses built like this. The rest of us shouldn't have to foot the bill for these idiots.
Time to buy a new sump pump! Basement's flooded again!
Don't overlook a battery backup just in case you lose your power.
😂
An expensive day at the beach.
This reminds me of the story of the “3 Little Pigs” and I cannot feign surprise.
Well, first non sences
Building house n the water is rully stupid?
Waste money ?
I have never seen any beach house on Onslow beach built like that!
Structural Engineering is a useful skill in construction😮
I used to look away when pass by houses like this! Who knew!😊
These are houses people built to rent out, or time share. They want people to feal sorry for thier greed and help them, home insurance wont touch these properties
Let’s support these red states with financial aid. Just like they want to help the blue ones when they have a problem. 😂
What happens when you build your house on sand next to a powerful ocean. DUH !!!??? 🤔🙄😂
So what happens now? Do they clean all this up or does it wash out to the ocean?
Now you turn around and walk away 😂😂
Clean up crews have been hired and are on scene.
@@Invictus13666 thank you I know it sounds like a silly question. I was just wondering. Sometimes it’s hard to get to where they can’t reach it. Thank you very much for answering my silly question.
I pray there was no one in the house, also praying for the safety of all. It’s a terrible thing to watch. 😢😢
I’ve never understood why rich people build houses next to the ocean.
They saying on my God like that was even ok to build there in first place
Surfs up! If you're stupid enough to build on the beach, don't cry when you're out with the tide.
Allowing builds like this, cost all Americans thousands in insurance premiums. SMH
Lol what did you think was going to happen? 😂 anyone could have predicted this
OMG if we only had enough money to stop this climate change we could have saved that poor house
I've lived in FL my entire life and never had the desire to live on or near the gulf! Plus the flood insur is astronomical! Water is beautiful to look at ...from a distance!
Fun fact, the outer banks in NC have seen some of the largest rises in sea levels of up to 1 foot over the last 100 years. Worse yet its accelerating. The next 100 years for that region is expected to see some of the largest increases, going up to 4 feet. The changes in the outer banks is WILD. Good luck to anyone living near the coast.
People build beach homes because they love being near the water. Be careful what you ask for because now the water is all yours.
Good thing that global warming isn’t real, or coastal homes could fall in to the sea….
Didn't build your house on rocks did you. Those who build there houses on sand are fools.
The water used to be further out, but because of rising seas due to climate change, this is becoming the new norm.
"Other kings said it was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, nust to show em!"
I hope the owner is charged for the clean up and fined for polluting the shoreline.
