Nature is awe inspiring and always wins. Every time I see one of these houses surrender, I can only imagine all the happy times and restful getaways they've witnessed through the decades. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us!
What's amazing to me is not that the ocean has claimed another home. The island has been moving forever. It's that there are still realtor For Rent signs on the other homes. Thank you for sharing these reminders of nature's power.
There have been several comments regarding a house called the Black Pearl in Rodanthe I wish that those commenting knew the facts and would stop assuming things and then.posting inaccurate info.... #1. That house is not abando ed...2 mind you not 1, house movers took the contract then last minuted backed out for easier jobs and believe this or not, the last company had a written contrat.... #2. That house is NOT hooked to power.... #3. The plan, as it has been for the entire past year, was to move it. After waiting for 3 months for a company that agreed to move yet canceled last minute and then waiting another 3 months on written contract a company back out and actually was on another job when supposed to be moving it... So, please, if you care to write or send video info out make sure you have the FACTS😅 thank you
These home owners can afford the loss. 🤣 I know a couple cottage owners. Some have 4 or 5 beach homes plus 2 homes in Virgina's subs. So don't worry they have lots of cash.
Seriously, once the house gets to this point, why is it allowed to be washed away like this with little regard for the dangers and the waste? Boards with nails and kids playing in the surf?
Why are these houses still standing? They should have been torn down long time ago!! Why let all this debri wash into the ocean. Make the owners pay for the removal before this happens.
the insurance companies are being insurance companies and won't allow them to be demolished, they have to actually fall into the ocean. it's BS. it makes the beaches an eyesore and also rather dangerous

Wow. Those houses used to have 100 yards of sand and dunes in front of them in the 1980s.
That's the nature of a Barrier Island. It's nothing but sand and it moves at it's own will.
@@Altitude12 That one that got taken probably built in the 70's? So @50 years of mostly great memories. Not bad for a sea shanty!
@@mondoenterprises6710 Unless they still had a mortgage on it!
@@sharonh2991that’s why you have insurance
@@Trucking4Freedom - can they even get insurance on a property with it’s feet planted on a sand bar in the Atlantic Ocean?
I remember seeing these houses being built and thinking to myself what a bad idea it was
I think anyone who builds or buys knows these were temporary homes
This storm is just getting cranked up. Might lose a few more before its done.
I'll be checking in on it tomorrow. I'll post any updates.
Wish we could hear the Wind & Ocean. Does it have Sound?
I'm not hearing anything.
Thank You for Awesome Footage!

How far inland is the ground sand? Where does rock or more consolidated ground appear?

Insurance companies won't pay till the house falls in the ocean
@@18rollinon It figures 😮.

Stop building on the water.The ocean is telling you something.
