VIDEO: Sea swallows beach home in North Carolina Outer Banks

[@IRIS-dp2bb]

The blue house is next

[@mantis10_surf85]

I was in the brown house when it was going out to sea 🌊. It wasn’t scary. It was fun 👈🏼

[@stephenfricke9298]

So sad. When I first moved to NC questioned why build multi million dollars homes on a sand bar?

[@lmcatech]

Now you have a houseboat.

[@StormyNatero-yd7sj]

Noted.... Why I do not buy beach houses ....

[@astrinymris9953]

0:14 I wanted to scream "Stop!" at the guy who ran into the blue house. Maybe it's the camera angle, but it looks like the waves are lapping at its foundation, too.

[@Mitzi73]

All those homes in danger should be dismantled before the ocean takes them. These homes threaten sealife. All that plumbing, pipes, furniture, toxic materials are going in the water. The state should make the owners dismantle the house.

[@AnnetteRead-m4k]

Unfortunately that will never happen😢 you only have to look around the world and see what mankind has left behind when it is no longer needed, the human race should be ashamed of itself. Just as an asides look at space junk floating up there, we are not content with polluting our own planet we are hellbent on destroying space😮 junk

[@branchandfoundry560]

Makes sense and will not win voters, so we'll never do it. Being popular by making greatness promises is more important than actually being great.

[@aztiff]

That's life in the Outer Banks

[@ShelleyBumgarner]

How in the world are the owners of the blue house still staying there? It is right on the ground. I thought they had to be raised so many feet? I may be wrong. I just thought I had heard it was required to pass inspection.

[@Sunderling]

Is this in Rodanthe, NC?

[@Sunderling]

Yeah…I thought so. I live nearby.

Foolishness buying a home by the coast so close to the ocean 🌊

[@Mitzi73]

It wasn’t close to the ocean when it was built.

[@summer-c7i]

Ok, and u’d think the developers would think ahead + plan for emergencies when you’re that close to the ocean.

[@summer-c7i]

It also doesn’t justify leaving these houses practically in the ocean, hoping and waiting the inevitable doesn’t happen. Esp as someone else posted how much toxic materials etc could be polluting the ocean even more. They should all be condemned + torn down or moved (if possible, have seen this), as they’re highly at risk for being swept away like this house was.

[@timdowney6721]

@@Mitzi73 Why else would it be built on stilts?

[@jonathanmcvay4499]

@@timdowney6721You’re kidding right? What age are you? Almost all houses built near the ocean are built on stilts, even miles from the shore. It’s to keep your house above water during an inevitable storm surge.

[@carolinesmith8024]

OMG I hope the dog 🐶🐕 ok

[@mermaidgirl9232]

My thoughts,too. I hope that poor little fur baby wasn’t in that house.. I just read on another post that one of the homes was seen 11 miles out. This is so heartbreaking to watch these homes just float away.

[@timdowney6721]

@@mermaidgirl9232 It is never a good idea to build on a barrier island. Many of these places benefit from many, many millions of federal dollars paying for dredging and other measures to protect them. Dismantle them and let nature take its course.

[@cathyreed2480]

Oh no.🙏

[@tippysttimothy]

To quote the margarine commercial "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!"

[@malley4747]

Haha. I think any insurance company or bank or housing authority would discourage anyone from buying a house in the ocean.

[@imike7716]

Wow if only just anybody could lose a home in such a beautiful place.

GOD warns us against building our house on shifting sands. Gotta build them on solid ROCK. ,"THAT IS JESUS OUR SOLID " R O C K".

Wife: "Honey, why is our house swaying? I feel seasick for some reason." Husband: "No Dear, I think you just had a little too much wine after dinner."

Why would you build there in the first place 🙈

[@Castaway.....]

I hope they moved out first

[@ceeemm1901]

They were moving to the UK and thought they could save money on freight costs.

Ac unit and all

[@donduggan798]

And you still get to pay for the mortgage

[@astrinymris9953]

I was about to say something about homeowners insurance, but then I remembered insurance agencies charge a lot for beachfront houses, so some owners have let their coverage lapse.

[@AthenaGM]

Was that a person sitting in like, the balcony?

[@marvelwonderwoman]

So dumb to build or buy so close to water

[@astrinymris9953]

The water may have a lot farther away when it was built. The Outer Banks are eroding, and the sea level is rising.

[@kevinkelley5056]

Thats to be expected.

[@adrianhowell6173]

Whoever builds a house close to a beach is a disgrace

[@jonathanmcvay4499]

^^^🤡

[@tammysimons4916]

I guess if you want to live on the beach you should build your house to be a house boat and have it anchored. Maybe that way when these events happen you might still have a house. I love being near water but after the flood of 72 I chose to live on a hill so I won't get flooded.

[@briangoldman8209]

Too bad for those folks. The irony is they will probably build back in the same place. Stupid is as stupid does.

[@wallacebell4311]

More beach front property according to the smartest man on the planet. Donnie is soooooooooooooo DONE that he is clueless about the BLUE WAVE that is going to send his whinny ass back to the golf course forever!

[@Sonnycrystalbyrd]

People in trailer better hook up and move😂

[@ShelleyBumgarner]

I had no clue a mobile home would even pass inspection to be on the beach.

[@ChillWill-q5x]

@@ShelleyBumgarner No permanent structure should be allowed to be built on barrier islands.

[@ShelleyBumgarner]

@@ChillWill-q5x I agree!! I know the houses were not close to the shore line when built. I'm sure the developers and builders made it sound amazing. When these owners built here. I just don't know how people can not know they should not build on sand or barrier islands. I always refer back to my Sunday School lesson when I was 5. The foolish man build his house on the sand and it goes splat. The wiseman built his house to n the rock and it stood firm.
