The Ocean Claims another house in Rodanthe NC

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.

Simple. Don't build your house on sand.

[@frankcastle5294]

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.

[@mondoenterprises6710]

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!

[@maryannoneill297]

Why would anyone build a house on sand

[@mikem4432]

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.

[@lindaterrell5535]

There’s a book which talks about not building houses on sand.

[@njs9864]

Those houses shouldn't be there.

[@kennglee]

Even the 2nd row houses look like their time is coming soon.

[@meatpopsicle1567]

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.

[@MrArchie765]

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!!!

[@uncov8127]

Building on a beach is insane.

[@goingaboutmyfathersbusines4359]

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

[@peggybagley8031]

It's crazy to live that close to the ocean

[@maried3717]

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!

[@mrmyth5846]

You’d have to be nuts to build on that beach. I’m stunned the state even handed the permits out to do it.

[@arselia8499]

I saw about 9 🏠 houses that are to close to the edge... Just a matter of time before they're swept away.

[@edwardnash7411]

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

[@laurakyplain2413]

MotherEarth is beautiful, respect her; greed only destroys future generations to learn to take what is needed..

[@greggschoof8051]

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.

[@anniecrouch2410]

this is what happens when you build houses in sand right by the water
