  • National Park Service rangers with Cape Hatteras National Seashore said a home on Ocean Drive in Rodanthe, N.C. fell into the water on May 10, 2022. Hours after this one collapsed on OBX, a second one fell into the water. You can see that second home prior to it collapsing in this video.

    I have no sympathy for people or corporations that knowingly build these expensive homes on sand.
    If the properties were properly zoned and the insurance policies were charged commensurate with the associated risks, there would be very limited beach development.
    In most of these areas there should be no development as these are barrier islands, and, by their very nature, they change over time.

      Fun Fact...It's called erosion. Once ago that house was 4 blocks from the beach. Due to Nor Easters and Hurricanes. The sand dunes that once protected these homes have been washed away back in the late 80s early 90s. Most Ocean front homes in the villages were not built ocean front but blocks away from the ocean.

      @@spellerlittlewing I can vouch for that. I used to be an insurance agent many years ago. Beach property owners have to have multiple policies to cover the many risks associated with living at the beach, i.e., fire, theft, wind, rising water. It's an expensive proposition, and a losing one, at that.
      You have insurance to protect your stuff against loss, but, when you suffer a loss and file a claim, you're going to be penalized for using the very thing you've been paying into to replace your stuff. So, now you're paying more money to protect your replaced stuff. In addition, you usually have very high deductibles to meet, which will affect a claim payout. Insurance companies are in business to make money, so, really, insurance is like 21; it's the house game, and the house always wins.
