We stayed at that house (the Black Pearl) at the top of Rodanthe August 2022. Knew it was on borrowed time, and feel so fortunate that we caught it just in time!

[@Kcterry]

You are very lucky!

[@alyeskakalee814]

@@Kcterry we stayed at the Black Pearl and rented two houses on either side of it in the mid to late 80’s while biking the whole outer banks with church youth group. It’s sad to see it gone now because used to be a large beach in front of the Black Pearl. In fact, we had big on fire on Hugh beach out in front of those houses. Never imagined all those houses would be gone 35 or so years later. Lucky you got to stay in it before it washed away. I can barely remember how it looked inside of that house cause boys stayed there rather than us girls. Yet, we did sneak in and thief all the hotties boxer shorts leaving them wondering how the heck all their moms forgot to pack boxers. We so loved wearing those boxer all the way to college knowing they had none and had to bike in their sandy swim trunks. 😂 So, my memory of that house was crawling on my knees with my girl friends while boys eating at main house. We were too afraid of been seen if stood up and seen through windows of other houses on either side. So, the fact we did this with only a flash light on our knees may explain best why I don’t remember how the house truly looked in side other than from knee level. ❤ 😂

[@Kcterry]

Wow that's quite the story. Thanks for sharing. I need to look up old pictures to see how it was decades ago.

[@trishagail353]

Great video! Love the view from the drone. In Nov, 1999, I took my parents to OBX for their wedding anniversary, and we rode through Rodanthe on the way to see Hatteras lighthouse, which had just been moved. I vividly remember my dad saying,'Those houses will be gone in 10 years'.

0:29 the Eye of Rodanthe! great vid!!

[@SeanCarter-oj2yx]

Rodanthe - i toured a home in 1996 to purchase. When i saw the sand dune level with the patio, i realized how a stalled hurricane can engulf. Engineering said 15 years max, so i passed. The Rodanthe experience is truly a once in a lifetime experience, to watch the ocean erode the shore approaching your home, year by year. Not for everyone, but evidences the power of water, and testifies to why the national seashore is always changing.

[@hatteraslighthouse]

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away ~ such fond memories of the way it was

Spectacular footage! Many, many trips to the best part of OBX.

[@torilingerfet8371]

I remember driving that road years ago

[@cheryltavernier9906]

Beautiful !

[@bigtrout]

Wow, I didn't know hwy 12 had been relocated out in the Pamlico. Nearly every time I have been down there for the last 30 years they were pushing sand off the road. Once during a Nor'easter, blowing a gale, they opened the closed hwy only briefly. We were there for the weekend and were fortunate to hit that window and get out but followed a front end loader through seawater for several hundred yards. I was thankful he was there to follow as we'd had no idea where the roadbed was. Last time I was there was 2018 , I was doing a bike tour and yes, they were pushing sand then too. They were still constructing the new bridge across Oregon Inlet, the flagman shut down traffic and let me ride the bike across the old bridge without the cars.

[@ronaldlewis9817]

GOOD DRONE VIDEO, NEED MORE DRONE VIDEO'S OF OTHER SITES!

[@Kcterry]

Comb through my channel! I have lots more!

[@0bm31770]

That jug-handle bridge wasn't there last time I visited. Looks like it was a good idea.

[@Kcterry]

although some of the locals don’t like it, a very good idea

[@NotOnDrugs]

This is home!

[@HelenBurns-y8c]

That goes for everything.

[@LasVegas68]

My first thought was always, why do you want your house to be first in line to face a hurricane. That's like parking your car on the railroad tracks......

[@TheGforcead]

30 years ago those houses were behind the sand dune, or even behind a house that was behind a sand dune.. Barrier islands are mobile...

[@HarleyDavidsonVince]

I've been there at least 25 times in as many years. This is my last year going to the Outerbanks.

[@CLCVideos]

Just curious, why do you say it's your last year?

[@reneeweber8611]

I will go back every year that I'm above the dirt

[@HarleyDavidsonVince]

[@Viyu74]

In the Netherlands we do maintenance on our beaches. Every year we put between 300.000m³ and 3000000m³ sand on the beaches and coastlines. So why not here?

[@Kcterry]

Probably because of funding or maybe ignorance.

[@HelenBurns-y8c]

Capitalism. Nobody wants to pay tax to maintain things like this. I know.. It's crazy. Glad I'm 82.

[@Thisisjustname]

How many people have houses on their beach on what amounts to a barrier island in the Netherlands? This isn't just a beach. Its a small island that you have to take a bridge to get to. Does The Netherlands have places like this they maintain for most rich people to live on?

[@edwardsharpe6234]

Because our government gives all of our tax money to defense contractors and other countries.

[@Shackattack85]

The Netherlands doesn't wage war or waste billions in the space industries or pharmaceutical industries and instead they invest into themselves and their people. In America people would rather rage war and push our world into WW3 or be the first to Mars. Not boring stuff like you mentioned

[@danielkerlakian9696]

Great video. Curious when this video was filmed? Thanks

[@andrewhanson5942]

Looks like a house boat factory to me.

[@Clickumentary]

Great perspective. We drove that road on a previous OBX visit. Nice drone work and view of roadbed and new bridge. Interesting footnote: I'm no longer able to click through "watch on KZbin" so no way to like and subscribe unless providing Facebook interface Google credentials. Had to exit FB and search YT app.

[@Qwrtyuiop]

That house at 2:02 farthest onto the beach has recently been taken by the sea

[@Kurnazify]

The sea giveth and the sea taketh.

[@abpccpba]

What is so appealing about living on the outer banks or the keys in Florida?

[@Kcterry]

That's a good one.

[@tjsmith2748]

One day it will be like Eastern Shore…check their history!

[@beverlysmith2640]

My dream

[@2visiondigital]

Gosh. I had seen some close beach houses at Fort Meyer Beach but nothing like this. What a hoot if you accept the transantory nature of the situation. Not built to last.

[@Kcterry]

Nope, definitely not. Shoreline keeps changing.

[@kimsmith6469]

How come the fla.keys dont seem to be affected?..

[@Kcterry]

I can't speak to that, I'm not that familiar with the Keys.

[@jessegarman7899]

The Florida keys are built on coral, not sand.

[@johnr5252]

Why on earth would you build these huge houses on what amounts to a sand bar?

[@Kcterry]

Million dollar question

[@jonathanmcvay4499]

In time people will be asking that same question about any of the Florida Keys or Galveston Island, or Padre Island. In fact, probably anywhere along a beach that is flat.

[@Rktect3902]

That house just fell in to the ocean last week

[@Kcterry]

No, different house.

[@jeanettenorman7052]

Talk about hubris - no understanding of our fabulous sea, sand and wind. Take up ocean sailing on an old-fashioned sailing vessel. Then you can only learn - come to our Souther🎉 Oceans too where their power is inescapable

[@Cherokee82]

The magic is being taken back into the sea. Now that meakins is good and gone...seems like it's disapearing. Rip. The electric lines going down pea island are literally FRYING right now....you can see sparks jumping off the wires its CRAZY. AND ALot UNDER WATE. It's heart breaking. Use to be like 5 rows of house out. Now there's barely one.

[@NewMoonBlitz]

If I lose my lure on a piece of debris I’m gonna be pissed.

OBX is so different from my time there 70s/80s

[@Kcterry]

I'm sure!

[@fredericktaylor2891]

So true, I remember it long before your time there when the barrier islands were mostly barren and devoid of all these big houses and development. The only things there were the small villages that had been there for decades and then came what they call progress, pollution, crowds, traffic and habitat destruction of the wildlife there, including the wild horses.

[@robingastonia9192]

Beautiful but sad that the ocean is taking over all the beautiful homes. Thank you for sharing.

[@derekk6906]

Sad that the homes are such an ugly eyesore along such a beautiful Ocean Shoreline.

[@dannypowers4995]

Just think 100 yrs from now a developer will pay off politicians to allow building on that sand again with the argument that the sand will never wash away again. History repeats itself. 😂

[@davidperry970]

Visiting OBX in the early 70's it was perfect. All the cottages were small modest. Then came the Yankees and massive monster homes.Wish i could live it again.

[@BeDoHave-so8nr]

Yankees had nothing to do with it. All done by rich Carolinians .

[@NoOneIsGoingToSaveYou]

The outer banks is and has been forever changing. Nothing new here folks.

[@Kcterry]

it definitely is!

[@JuliaOConnell-k6v]

So sad

[@adrastos761]

houses should not be allowed to be built on barrier islands, it should be public space and not for the select few, plus it isnt safe to build homes here. it is a disaster waiting to happen.

[@bonneykell7491]

Nobody should build a house on any coast line should be against the law that's why insurance is outrageous and everyone pays for it period

[@bonneykell7491]

Just because you can build one doesn't mean you should

[@Thisisjustname]

@@bonneykell7491 Especially not on what is essentially a barrier island of sand that whole purpose is basically to slow down huge waves and reduce power from a storm.

[@mjdrhd0318]

Sea level rise is real. The questions are. Who gets mitigated amd at what cost

[@xisotopex]

but to answer your question in general, who gets mitigated? the rich do, of course, and we get to pay for it. and of course we wont get to use it, either.

[@halfarthing9655]

this isnt sea level rise... this is errosion

[@ntplayn7159]

That's why we preserve and dunes. I think it's crazy these houses were even allowed to be built removing all the nature to build these horrible looking structures. Now what..

[@CLCVideos]

What "nature" was removed? Lol.

[@lindadavis9498]

You are so stupid ...when these houses were Built they were maybe 2 or 3 rows back.Some of them were not built directly on the ocean and when the original houses which were two and three rows of houses that are no longer there.... The houses did not have the dunes scraped away to build a house .. And if you knew anything you would know that CAMA... Coastal Area Mgmt Assoc.... would not allow that.... Everything and anything done on the coastal side has got to be approved and Permitted by CAMA z And now Parks folks as well as Environmental.... So when you wanna blow smoke up , somebody's butt.... KIndly Make sure you know what you're talking about... The row of houses That you are looking at now, had houses in front of them and houses In front of them ..... going toward the water's edge. Oh, and I guess you didn't know that they rejuvenated the Rodanthe beach in the past also.

[@Thisisjustname]

@@CLCVideos Most likely trees and shrubs and grass which holds the dirty and sand together.

[@on_the_off_beat]

needless to say, stupid place to build a house. Don't ask the rest of us to compensate you.

[@floydfanboy2948]

Great! Let's ruin nature and build a lot of houses on a sandbank. What could possibly go wrong?

[@Kcterry]

they are slowly falling into the ocean, so no worries. they’ll soon be gone!

[@floydfanboy2948]

@@Kcterry I do not doubt it, the sea always wins in the end. But building all that on a location like that strikes me as folly. When was this area built up?

[@terryo4895]

Insurance companies shouldn't cover these houses built right on the beach. No one should have the right to own that beach property. Hopefully they will not be able to build back. How ridiculous,
