09-24-2024 Rodanthe, North Carolina - September 24, 2024, Rodanthe House to Fall into ocean

[@StrikeTheRoot]

Tell me again why people think it's a good idea to build houses on beaches? I guess I'm in the minority on thinking that it's an extremely poor choice of location.

[@watchgoose]

in california they build houses on cliffs......

[@HomeEF]

True.

[@craigdarby9533]

This house used to be several lots back and even had a street in front years ago.

[@88Blazehaze]

Right! Just because you have lots of money, doesn’t mean you have lots of brain… 🧠 That’s probably a two or three million dollar home. I work in the area.

[@sunchyme59]

This house was far back from the beach when it was built.

[@jsncrso]

This house was built hundreds of feet from the ocean years ago. In fact, there used to be a paved street and several rows of houses between this house and the ocean, but the ocean has eroded all of the land. And the insurance industry is exactly to blame for this. They will not pay out in advance to remove the house, the house must collapse first before insurance will cover anything

[@Knox-ec9ur]

Why do you care? These aren't even real homes for families. These are sources of extra cash for the extremely wealthy, rented out for vacations. Shame on the owners for not taking action years ago.

[@Gordon_2000]

Even at hundreds of feet from the ocean it was a flood and erosion risk area and they knew it. Government is to blame for allowing construction in high risk areas, just to get more taxes.

Insurance company won't have to spend as much for cleanup, vs having a demolition company remove it.

[@TomVanPelt-j8o]

It appears that some houses are far better braced at the piling than others. The ones that are diagonally braced from top down seem to fair much better. As a retired home builder in Myrtle Beach,I can attest that you can’t overdo the bracing. In this video the unit that collies only braced at the top of the pilings. The one that’s still standing is. Lesson here? [Also, Myrtle Bech had much stricter building codes than these house were built under. NC used to be notoriously slack in that area.]

[@chasetonga]

Tell me why it is sad rich people build homes on the beach knowing hurricanes are highly probable? I have no sympathy for idiots who build in high risk areas. The tax payers shouldn’t be responsible for their bad choices.

[@TomVanPelt-j8o]

Boy, is my typing terrible! Full disclosure-I barely passed typing class in 8th grade (1963-64). Sorry. But my point is valid. The units I’ve seen float away have all been poorly braced. SC is actually way ahead of NC in this area. The State (and insurance companies) ought to require additional cross bracing on all houses built on piles, on the ocean or inland. Ye godz.

[@loopshackr]

@@TomVanPelt-j8o Impressive how the braced house next door just shrugged off the collision (hope there weren't dishes on shelves), though it, too, is doomed. Its septic system is ripped out and overwashed, no power, and the ocean will eventually not be denied. If insurers won't pay, seems like builders within X distance from the surf should be required to put up a bond for the eventual cleanup... it's just business, after all.

Just don't build a stilt house on the beach that might get destroyed by mother nature. The ocean is a powerful force, and the owners of those houses absolutely knew that.

@@ShellymanStudios I think you may be missing my point. I don't disagree that you shouldn't build right on the edge of the dunes. I'm saying that ocean levels are rising and structures that used to be an acceptable distance from the sea are now oceanfront. Also that natural disasters like beach erosion are unavoidable like earthquakes and tornadoes and tsunamis etc. People pay premium insurance rates to live in these areas and shouldn't be shamed or harassed or made fun of when nature does it's thing which it will inevitably do. Whether it be in a year or a thousand years. And who would decide where something could be built ? And what would the deciding factors be. Not trying to be an jerk, just truly curious.

Majority of the comments here saddens me. Every state is capable of a disaster destroying a home. “Karma is the universe’s way of balancing things out. If you put good out, you get good back. If you put bad out, well you know what’s coming”

[@suzsnnesanders4742]

No not every state is capable of destroying a home!! Anyone who lives in florida know the chances of this happening are a lot more then other states! You can not even compare other states to florida!! Yet people who are able yo move away don't. So. When this keeps happening and tbey loose everything they have no one to blame but themselves!!

[@elizabethwitt2621]

Not always. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and vice versa.

10:40 на коричневом доме справа есть характерный выступ прямоугольный формы!) Так раньше на замковых стенах делали туалеты, что бы какашки летели на улицу!)

[@ТатьянаКойло-м8е]

Это точно,я читала про такие дома,они действительно так и делали, ходили в туалет!!!

[@pam3906]

Praying for all involved.

[@Michael-sb8jf]

yes pray for the millionaire that owned this house when there are others truly sufferings are kids starving It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God

[@annettemccollin8703]

Why build on sand. I don't get it

[@ruthfreeman864]

WEATHER MAP.... no storm today... but...why would state permit building a house in the surf... wonder if this is photo shoped

[@craigdarby9533]

When these houses were originally built, they were several lots back and even had a street in front. This area is called a barrier island which is constantly moving.

[@ChuckSchickx]

Rodanthe was the first place I ever stayed at the outer banks. I think it was 1997. We stayed on the sound side of the island. Sunsets were magnificent.

[@davidvalentinmunguiavelez9814]

¿Cuanto tiempo tenían estas casas ahí?

[@mandysellen1476]

Are the other homes still standing or have they gone now too....

What a lovely view of the ocean she said. Even had "salt life" plastered on the foyer wall...

Учитесь на чужих ошибках ,не думаю ,что вызывает эта трагедия смех , но признать факт надо , нельзя строить в береговой линии вообще ничего ...стихия всегда сильней человеческих желаний .

[@bionicman1921]

It looks like a great place to build a house 🏠

_"That was cool!"_ The owner of the house might disagree with that.

Why would someone build that close to the waters edge

[@floridaredneck]

I was there many years ago and rented a house. It looked like the ones in the photo, and I mean exactly like it. I was there during Tropical Storm Dennis decades ago. One day everything was "normal", and the next day, houses like these were in the ocean and it was only a tropical storm, which I guess this was by then also. Homes that were under construction the day before, were either in the water, or gone and I think they had to be at least 150 ft from the water at that time to build, so that's how much beach was lost. I'm in FL, so we got Helene when it was a category 4. Sorry for you folks, we know how it is.

[@ОльгаХилкова-б7э]

По-моему, в воде вообще нельзя строить дома, какое то безумие-поставить двух этажный дом на сваях в море

[@svetlanasaveljeva4265]

Здесь были комментарии, что раньше между домами и океаном была мощеная дорога, но океан забрал эту часть суши. Впрочем, рано или поздно это происходит со всеми береговыми линиями. Побережья морей и океанов постепенно захватывают сушу и это закон природы. Странно, что люди не знают этого или надеются на чудо, когда строят дома вдоль береговой линии.

[@HomeEF]

It made me cry when I watched the house collapse, so sad.

[@precious813]

Get a grip.

[@MX-fo2nu]

So sorry, hope all are ok.

THEY KNEW IT WAS A POSSIBILITY OR IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUILT ON STILTS

[@eddieeatmon7525]

Not sure ..I seem to remember someone saying that insurance doesn't pay until the cottage goes in the water. If this is true, it's a win for someone.

[@sispain]

Those beautiful homes, so sad….

How did the other ones not fall down?

[@davewalker1060]

Was someone standing behind the house when it went down? It looked like it.

[@99somerville]

Barrier islands are bound to move and alter shape. The sand never disappears, it just moves someplace else. As this persons beach eroded and washed away, someone else’s beach grew larger with more sand.

[@MichaeldeLancellotti]

What is wrong with these people? They sound like they are excited about someone's house being swept away. Damn!
