The Ocean Claims another house in Rodanthe NC

- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- This area has lost 3 homes since February. Back in the 1980’s there was about 200 yards of dune and beach. This is the nature of a barrier island. It’s always moving.

Many folks may not realize but many of those ocean front homes used to have a football field worth of dunes and grass and then a big beach in front of them. All gone now. Take it from an old OBX salt!
And most all of it deposited on the back side of the islands.
They are still built on a sand spit, what did they expect?
So,they were built on stilts to see over the sand dunes im assuming…’’thanks for clearing this up as I was thinking who would ever thinks building as close to the ocean as these people havent much sense….
I live part-time in Avon...right down the coast from Rodanthe. This erosion/replenishment cycle has been going on ever since these outlying barrier islands formed thousands of years ago. Anyone who builds up against the dunes anywhere in the outer banks is insane.
Yes, the erosion and deposit cycle will likely continue in that area until it’s gone, Most of the outer banks in the eastern side of the US were created during the last ice age, I’m sure 10k years ago the water was over a mile away, maybe more, Southampton researchers have estimated that sea-level rose by an average of about 1 metre per century since the end of the last Ice Age, thus changing sea patterns and shifting sand deposits, so while this area is getting eroded somewhere else in the sea or shore there’s a new sand bar or shore line forming, I’m sure the cycle will repeat itself and reform a new sand bar, we just won’t be around to see it.
@@f.w.1318 Well said Sir.
Insane, or insanely rich and lacking good judgement. Lol
@@nathanielovaughn2145 Many times both.
People with lot's of money , but then ask the government for money to relocate or rebuild or try and sue the council for putting the house there to begin with.
Even the 2nd row houses look like their time is coming soon.
Why would anyone build a house on sand
They clearly didn’t?? Decades ago when those houses were built the ocean was some distance away… why on earth would you even think that anyone built them on sand?!? Smh
Ask that question to the people in Dubai
@@angie14124
Aaaa, the ocean hasn't gone up that much. The beach was way out but the ocean was still that high.
So they could have known how much above sea level they were building.
Dumb? Maybe not.
They enjoyed their lives in those homes and are long gone.
Repent, the earth is getting revenge
@@angie14124 they are on pilings so the tide can come in under them. None of the other houses behind them are on pilings. So I do believe they were built right on the waterline.
It's been reported that several of these homes were unoccupied, abandoned or condemned..what baffles me is why the city or state did not order the owners to dismantle them..after the beach water started to get closer.. especially the septic tanks ..way before this happened..smh..sad part is the homes that are further back may not sell for what their worth
they could of sold the house alone and have entire thing transported away like they do in some places. what a waste.
The whole of Rodanthe is living on borrowed time
So we just got back from the Outer Banks today. We had originally booked a rental in Rodanthe which was two houses over from one of the ones that collapse. A few months ago we got a call saying that a septic system needed to be replaced so awful bunch of homes along that system we’re not allowed to be rented which is why I believe they were unoccupied. We were devastated at the time but looks like it was a blessing in disguise!
I was there the entire first week in May. I invited fishing buddy from Shreveport. He flew into Richmond, Va where I picked him up. We have birthdays 6 days apart in May and he has only seen the photos I'd shown him. I was an "7-year Outer Banker" and knew the place very well. We both got to see the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Hatteras Island National Seashore~! The long and strong north-eastern cold front blew in. I was shocked because the weekly forecast was clear and comfortable temps. We were both excited since I just bought my 1st 4x4. I have to say we bounced from ramp to ramp trying to find fishable waters. Got a break on our final day and that evening we were heading back to let him catch his return flight. It rained 4 and a half hours the entire trip. Oddly enough, I sub to The OBX Today and seen the fallen cottage. I have seen stairs and walkways from a cottage to the beach but the bottom step was a 20 foot dangerous drop in my friends place in South Nags Head. In my 7 years living year round I learned something brand new about the winter northeaster beach and pier pylons erosion. Call me a crazy fool but I stayed on the OBX Island thru 7 hurricanes and drove to the beach at Jeanette's pier from Manteo just to watch the surf and Mother Nature do it's thing until it was over. I lived there in 1999 when the Hatteras Lighthouse was lifted to safety and I LOVE HER SO MUCH~! Earlier this month I went to see her again and the restoration will be complete so. The light at the top originally is a cluster of many mirrors and it might not be easy to do. So the plan is to install a ""Disco Ball" for it's light this year and there will be a ceremony to celebrate the complete restoration. The one and only JOHN TRAVOLTA will be visiting the OBX to help introduce the "Disco Ball" Lighthouse~! I love how the folks who have lived and worked off the water providing seafood of all kinds that goes back generations~! I know and Trust that the locals and the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Park Service AND the powerful feeling You get knowing that the U.S. Coast Guard is always near saving lives and stomping out criminals.
I am starting today for my return visit in October to go fishing again. My buddy is flying in to join in on the fun. The world is as unstable as I've ever seen it. Bad, horrible news floods the media and lands into our hearts and homes. I know when I am at the OBX, I am closest while talking to God. Prayers and thoughts for anyone who read this. Keep The Faith~!
@@davetrent8612 I have a question please. Based on how fast this is happening how long will it be before the ocean will destroy the second row of homes? When the people started seeing this happen why didn't they all get together and do something about it? I just don't understand.
There’s a book which talks about not building houses on sand.
And a children's song.
And a Bible Verse Matthew 7:24-26
(BUT....for those that may not understand, in the verse the rock is referencing Jesus' teachings...or raise your family/home centered around Christ. )
It does apply here though at face value,.
🤣
Simple. Don't build your house on sand.
The rich don't care
Do you think the ocean GAF about who you are or how much money you have?
Building on a beach is insane.
We love OBX. Have been going 30 years! Sympathy to those losing homes. Remember, respect nature. It’s a powerful force. Don’t overbuild or get too close to the ocean. You’ll lose.
In the 80’s these homes were almost 2 football fields from the ocean.
on google maps that place just looks like a sand bar. land is being swallowed up like cookies 🍪 😒
@@iamthatiam44444 that is exactly what it is. A giant sandbar.
@@Altitude12 that should of been a warning sign to greedy councils not to allow buildings on it hey! What a lot of money just falling in the ocean. Would of been beautiful tho while it lasted.
@@iamthatiam44444 they will get insurance money and rebuild
I have a healthy respect for the sea. No way would I build close enough to the shore that the house had to be placed up on sticks!
The whole place looks one spring tide/ bad storm away from a complete Wipeout
I never did understand the stick support for a house either.
Some people have a lot of money to engage in these follies. But many of the worlds cities are built this close to seas, rivers and oceans. Now rising tides are presenting new storm surge problems. You see flooding happening all over the world now more often than before.
@@PatrickFDolan That's true...
When you build close or on the water near the water you are just asking for it and you should and have not any reason to complain about the ocean coming along and reclaiming what is hers
MotherEarth is beautiful, respect her; greed only destroys future generations to learn to take what is needed..
this is what happens when you build houses in sand right by the water
Dumb question, does the homeowner have to pay for the cleanup once these house get destroyed by the water? They should, it shouldn’t be the taxpayers!!!
Taxpayers most likely
They just let it sit there. If anyone were to pay them it's the insurance company of the homeowner.
Pretty basic concept here, folks. Stop. Building. Your. Houses. On. The. Beach. Beaches come and go. So does your house, if you build it on one.
It's crazy to live that close to the ocean
Not religious but seem to remember there being something in the bible about not building your house on sand. Shame though, some of the houses looked nice, I am sure those families love/ed them.
They obviously don't love those homes enough or they would've built them further from the shoreline.
@@theresedavis2526 Things can change a surprising amount over time though.
@@sarahstrong7174 To build a house on the beach is imprudent and even foolhardy, especially where the shore is prone to shift or erode.
Why were they permitted to build their monstrosities right at the water's edge obstructing the view of all legit beach houses set back and low. I bet these contractors had the local politicians in their pockets: small fish in big pond? Now that we can see the disaster, we can hardly believe this was ever allowed? Can't someone dig up the names on the signatures and put it out there for all to know. Hold their feet to the fire! The owners of these view-hogging buildings? They got what they asked for! Mother Nature simply could not endure it any longer....
Relax Cassandra. It's a barrier island. Only a few miles wide. It will all be under water in the fullness of time. One homeowner is not necessarily better than the other. They all took their chances and they will all lose.
the outer banks grow and shrink quite rapidly. these homes were almost certainly built a few hundred yards behind dunes and a reasonable beach ~30 years ago. In that time, a lot of the beach has eroded, leading these homes that were once a good distance from the shore to be right up against it. You can see this with a lot of other structures in the outer banks too.
anyone who is stupid enough to build a home on a shoreline & it is eaten by the water has no one to blame but themselves. I don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone who loses a home in this matter, it's like building your home on a hillside & it slides down after a heavy rain you get what you pay, this is one of the many reasons home insurance rates go up.
Here's the thing though, absolutely nobody cares who you do or don't feel sorry for. Who even asked you or anyone else? Some of these comments in here are amazing. You're all talking about these houses like they were built last year. Give it a rest already.
MATTHEW 7: 26,27
THE FOOLISH MAN THAT BUILT HIS HOUSE ON THE SAND.
I think you will find that most things are built on sand. It's a fine line between dirt and sand.
What will it take stupid to move off the beach? I believe it is time for them to clear out everything before that shit goes into our lovely oceans. They should all pay for the clean up and stop waiting for their insurance checks....
I saw about 9 🏠 houses that are to close to the edge... Just a matter of time before they're swept away.
You’d have to be nuts to build on that beach. I’m stunned the state even handed the permits out to do it.
It's North Carolina. Do you actually expect better?
@@theresedavis2526 You will find Oceanfront homes in every coastal town in America.
@@PatrickFDolan Sorry, but where I'm from, we don't have homes sitting on the beach.
they were built wayyyyy farther back than in the video. the outer banks just have a cycle of losing and gaining land at a rather fast rate. year to year the beach can look vastly different. it's really interesting
Those fools deserve loosing their property.
Whoever built those house got greedy with wanting to be closest to the water well they won and lost at the same time
My thoughts exactly!
Do people still live in the houses closest to the ocean? That may be a stupid question. I was just curious since a few of them have washed away.
If you look at the drone video, a few have deck furniture, which would indicate the homes are still in use.
@Crypto Guru Those massive homes are definitely million dollar plus homes and were built as such. You'll find most of the locals were squeezed out decades ago. And they were never these massive rental properties, but modest cabins.
The entire Outer Banks should be converted into a park for RV use only, all the homes and bussness torn down and shipped to the landfill before it becomes pollution in the ocean.
Looks like it will claim many more soon.
Did I miss something? I didn’t see where a how was damaged?
fellow-Yo~ hat's beautiful footage. 🤗
Those houses shouldn't be there.
Well technically it was the oceans first
Tear down the houses on the sea edge and plant trees!
Only certain types of trees can be planted by the sea such as mangrove.
unh, i don't think trees would like it there either.
Yeah, that'll fix it. Plant trees.
@@PatrickFDolan Try coming up with a productive option. Mangrove...Florida... at least I had an idea to protect the rest of the island.
I would love to be in one of those houses, watching out of a window 😍 wow
No house was claimed by the ocean in this video
**MY BLIND GRANDMOTHER CAN SEE BETTER THAN YOU!!**
Thank you! I thought I missed it!
I started staying every September for a couple weeks in Buxton about 15 years ago. The house I loved to stay at is just not doable anymore as the street it's on is now flooded fairly deep almost 100% of the time I'm there. There used to be an area where I loved to climb up on the dunes and just sit and forget about the real world for a while. Last year when I got there? My favorite "meditation" spot was gone. Just gone. I once thought about retiring in a couple years and buying a home in Buxton. Not anymore.
Why aren’t these homeowners not required to tare down these houses before all that debris goes into the ocean?!
Why would you ever build right there on the sand like that Waste of money
And they would fight over the part if the sea they think they owned
Well... they had a nice view for a while.
Wow, having grown up on the West Coast, I had never understood this situation. Waterfront property needs to be built on pontoons???
Waterfront property needs to be built further from the shoreline!
Those are pylons not pontoons. Pontoons are not vertical with the water.
I watched this video when you released it and couldn't find the house in question. I am revisiting now and can only guess it is near the guy in yellow at 1:10?
I don't think this erosion will stop until they invest in a manmade barrier in the water or a seawall of sorts. I can't imagine what the homeowner's insurance is here. wow
They usually don't have any insurance. It's like people who live in area that get flooding regularly.
I can't figure it out either. I was expecting something a bit more obvious and dramatic.
@@decker8202 me too like the pillers crumble and the house falls down
Thats what happens when you build homes on the ocean. Just a matter of time
It’s odd that more of them didn’t see this coming and didn’t move the homes inland.
Why in the world is the state letting people build so close to the water…..just ridiculous….now everybody’s house insurance goes up…..
Maybe we shouldn’t build on sand.
TOUGH! You build them that close to the ocean, you deserve to lose it!
The title seems to be clickbait - I didn't see another home go down.
So the only footage of another “floating” house is in the first 30 seconds or so. The rest is way toooo long drone footage of the same10 or so houses, shot moving down the beach , then back up the beach. The initial floating house footage was the only true footage aligned with the title.
It is sad though.
I missed the house getting "claimed". Is that just some kind of real estate business jargon BS?
Commissioners and Developers
It's not rising sea levels those islands just wash around. Mother nature wants to put an inlet there but they keep trying to stop it. Some areas north of rodanthe are actually getting bigger instead of washing away. But if you build on the beach it's not a matter of if but when the storm comes.
For those of you that may not be aware most states have to insure these homes as no insurance company will touch them, good example is TWIA - wind & hail coverage through the state and if it so happens they pay out more than they collect they reach their hands into the auto division and raise rates to compensate.
For another words, the taxpayers are flipping the bill. The wealthy are the true parasites.
My advice: don't build a house on sand. 🤯🤯🤯🇨🇦
You did. Unless you built on a rock.
@@PatrickFDolan what about dirt, you forgot dirt, you know, the stuff that isn't sand or rock?!🤯🤯🤯
Large portions of the OBX are only a little over a foot above sea level.
Why build a house right at the ocean line?
I just have a hard time ever feeling sorry for anybody dumb enough off to build a house in that kind of location
Pretty soon the next row of houses will have the beach front property. It's just a matter of time .
Looks like things will not hold up well to a Cat-3 or 4 Hurricane there ! forget a Cat-5.
Dang this is what you call ocean front property holy crap. I would not live in them stilt homes. That’s insane.
There is literally no way id feel like being in a house that had waves coming under it….its creepy and unsettling to me to say the least
S. Carolina has the same problem...mother nature having its way.
Even the Bible warns of building a house on sand.
I don't understand why people would want to build a home near the ocean and on sand. The sea will always take the sand back.
I bet the people in the row of houses behind the sand houses aren't super sad to see them wash away. They're probably happy to have their view back.
My dear! They know their house is next as the shore erodes further.
Right?! ‘Honey, soon we’ll finally be oceanfront!’ Lol
Do you honestly think the houses at the waters edge were built AFTER the ones further back? For real?
Never buy house on the literal beach where waves break under the house. Who agrees?
Obviously these homeowners had an idea what could happen and therefore built on stilts...but they didn't have the foresight to know that the stilts are no match for the ocean...Nature always wins and does not discriminate, no matter how many $$$ you have.
Ha ha we must rebuild in the same spot as last time brilliant
200ft from the water is not good enough? Those homes look so ugly they should be outlawed for that reason alone.
God is the way the truth and the life in mighty Jesus name PRAY🌾
what a ridiculous place for this comment
I'm surprised building inspectors allow houses to be built on piles right to the beaches edge knowing they're all are at risk of collapsing anytime.
Pretty soon those people behind them are going to have beachfront property.
If you want to be that close to water; why not get a floating house with a huge ⚓️⚓️⚓️ instead? 🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪
What house????
All the homes on the back will be gone also. The ocean is rising faster then what they say.
Imagine the sleep in them could be a little restless.
Written about 2K years ago in Matthew 7:24-27
Build Your House on the Rock
“... a wise man ... built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. ...a foolish man ... built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
You don't need a religious context to understand that.
Ocean front property! Not quite what they had in mind when they bought the place, I'm sure.
why did they build in the sand zone where plants do not grow and the real sand zone iz even farther back and they do not think how the ocean waters have been beaten on the sandy shore and pulling sand out to sea and the heave rains too .
And castles made on sand fall into the sea eventually....
if you build so close to the water that you have to build on stilts, dont bitch to me about the water taking your house.....
As long as taxpayers aren't stuck with the bill, build any stupid place you want.
Came here to see a house get claimed by the ocean, video did not deliver 😤
I remember seeing some of these listed for sale and thinking “how much longer before….”
I would give it fifteen years max before the entire sandbar is gone.
Ahhhh...Wealthy people losing their nice beach homes. No Worries! Taxpayers have you covered! Just rebuild and keep enjoying the good life.👍 We wouldn't want those funds going to the "greater good" anyhow!
With 3 meter sea rise by the end of century theres going to be footage forever !
It's only a sandbar. It wan never permanent.
sure I feel bad for the people living there. however honestly how stupid do people have to be to build somewhere that they know is a problem area with constant beach erosion several of their neighbors where these new homes are being built are literally being built on lots that were previously destroyed by oncoming waves. you can't call it a freak of nature when it happens all the time. and people wonder why they can't get insurance anymore or why they're paying so much for their insurance. I truly think they should pass a law that if you want to build that close to the ocean you should be self-insured so others don't have to bear the cost of stupidity.
Classic case of greed - You wanted an ocean view, well you got it.
ANCIENT TRUTH: "don't build your house on sand...it will fall...." Messiah never lied....
idk, stop building your homes in the line of fire???? why would you take that risk?
What a waste of time. I thought we were going to see a house go down.
Why is anyone allowed to live this close to the ocean? All coast lands should be public property, not private, and should be left to the shorebirds, sea turtles, all other life as it was before humans. We can walk the beaches but we must not live on them.
I don't feel one bit sorry for these folks. A fools game to play with a stronger force than oneself. Mother nature will win every time and she doesn't cry about it either.
Why are we aloud to build so close to the ocean ?The effect on wildlife and the cost of rebuilding stupid.
houses on stilts will eventually become a house of cards.
VERY VERY RICH AND UNINTELLIGENT PEOPLE BUILDING ON A BEACH….. NO MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT !!!!!!
I just hope all people, pets and valuables are out of these houses. Next time, build maybe inland.
You should not be able to build in these Areas ! Think about it you don't live in these Places you pay all that $$ to your insurance company never file a claim But your rates keep going up ? One big rip off
This video never shows the ocean claiming a house
Don't have special boats to move these houses??
