- Outer Banks flooding due to beach erosion | bit.ly/3FCM2NP
Some areas in the Outer Banks are closed off due to sand and water covering the roads. This is from beach erosion.
We saw videos earlier Tuesday showing homes crashing into the ocean because of it.
Mocksville native, Jenny Ball is in Buxton right now, near Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and said they have to move their cars away from their hotel as waves were washing up underneath the building.
“The manager of the motel told us on Monday that they had shipped in 20 dump truckloads of sand. And I took some videos on Sunday. And you could see where the wall of sand was, where they had built up the beach in front of the house. That's completely gone. We're down to the sandbags that were buried. The parking lot is covered in sand, we could actually go look for shells in the parking lot," Ball explained.
The ferries aren’t in use, most of the roads around Ball's area are covered from overwash and most attractions are shut down.

Im not sure if they want us to be mad at the ocean 😂😂😂😂they better learn the language of the ocean really fast
They should be sue'd for polluting the ocean.
Hard to feel sorry for them. Rich is not always smart.
Let's jump to conclusions....
@@WeBeeJamming lol
Quit building on the sand in and around the ocean.
Kind of like building in a desert and wondering why they are always in a drought...most intelligent species on the planet? Hardly
Wind surfing? 🌊
🗣me whispering from Texas🗣 do not be so disrespectful when the ocean is pms'ing💀🖖🏿
Mother nature just claiming back what is hers.....
My favorite part is when they start asking for refunds after being on vacation for like 4 days
Yup . People are more ignorant every day. Since they obviously have money maybe they should buy some common sense.
Seems like you're out of stock on that.
@@WeBeeJamming unlike you I have plenty stocked up.
@@WeBeeJamming what are you some kind of apologist . Have to put your two cents in for every comment you don't like 😜 get over your self it's still a free country . And people do have the right to voice there options . Wasn't trying to hurt anyone. Just leaving a simple comment .
@@OneBryson. I would agree that your comment was very simple. Also, thanks for letting me know that you can say what you want but I can't. How very narcissistic of you...
These houses were very far from the ocean when built. Erosion in this section is moving fast since the large sands dunes have been eliminated. They held for a while but all gone now over the past 30 years.
I framed a bunch of those buildings in the first still after hurricane Emily in 93 piled the previous buildings up against the dune line as flood water from the Pamlico Sound tried breaking through to the ocean. In 99 we moved the lighthouse with hurricane Dennis being a menace and hitting us three times essentially. The island has been migrating south and west for hundreds of years and if you know where to look at low tide you'll see ancient tree stumps in the ocean from when ship builders harvested the trees. I wish I never moved away.
One word Inland construction. Not next the ocean
One of my fav places on earth, but buying a home out there....fuhgeddabowdit.
Mocksville???
Who would've thought that that could ever happen when you build on a beach...you know because we expect everything to adapt to us, stupid humans! What a pathetic species we are
I went to the outer banks once. It's a disaster. They are disappearing
So she never read the parable about the wise and the foolish builder?
I was there that week with my friend who flew into Richmond, Virgina and he has never heard of the OBX until I invited him to join me on a fishing journey for our birthdays. I once lived on the OBX for 7 wonderful years before all the commercializing grew. Needless to say, fishing was not as good as it could've been with high winds out of the Northeast. I have only seen them this bad during the winter or a passing hurricane. As I drove back it rained and blew straight driving back on a 4.5 hour trip at night. My prayers for all and any effected by this. It's just Mother Nature and the Cape Hatteras Park Service and Dare County does ALL they can do to keep her (OBX) open for business~!
They shouldn't have to pay for anything
They should have eminent domain all those whites there,
just like they do the black neighborhoods
the greedy white man's always building homes right on top of the ocean cuz he wants the best view.
Everything should be torn down 5 miles back from the ocean
House Boat
they should have sprayed the bottom with flex seal
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not it's was because of a low pressure system that was off the cost for day's try telling the truth.
The gradual shifts on this Earth plane, are underway. Folks really ought to look into the strategic safe zones for the United States. Just sayin. Better safe then sorry.
no stay there .good place for stupid people
SEA LEVEL RISE FOLKS
It’s not
@@NAC_11359 ok Brandon 😆
Pretty ignorant, people expecting nature to adapt to their way of living
@@philbuell6657 hey I would prefer if houses were literally built 2 miles away from the beach and leave nature alone for once
Cut more trees down pathetic
