1:00 - There are videos of this house, bearing a sign with the clever name "Front Row Seats", collapsing in the water. In doing so, it slices a large gash in the side of the house to the right of it, which still has a "FOR RENT" sign on the front of it even though by then it no longer has a front stairway, and is noticeably flexing each time a wave washes through its support beams underneath. But yes, you could rent it and move right in!
Rodanthe was a mistake to build on in the first place. The barrier islands move all the time, without rising sea levels. Norfolk VA has the fastest rate of sea lever rise, it's 5.3 millimeters per year. Norfolk can easily adapt, these islands can't.
Hello how are you doing today? I'm so sorry for the loss of your place 🖖 never a good place to build right next to the water! The weather will take it back from you ✌️🙂🙃
Couple of questions if you don't mind: 1. Does the local govt authority or whoever require homeowners, at the very least, clean up/empty the septic and/or remove anything toxic from the home, knowing eventually it's all going to end up in the ocean? 2. Why isn't the home stripped of building materials that could be used - doors, windows, toilets, sinks, cabinetry, etc.... AND this would decrease amount of waste/pollution ending up in the ocean? This seems so ignorant to me, to just let the house sit there, land eroding, all that ending up as pollution and waste. Thanks for uploading. Interesting to see. I've vacationed in Kitty Hawk and Avon, and TBH, wasn't crazy about OBX. The water was too rough to swim in, IMO. Got knocked on my behind a few times. I'll take the FL Gulf Coast beaches all day!
@@TrustKnowWun houses get condemned by the local government, the clean up is the responsibility of the homeowner, they could technically strip it if they wanted to
As long as you don't blame it on climate change. Don't forget, everyday the water level rises and falls twice a day. And every year the temperature gets 40 or 50 degrees hotter and colder depending on the season. If you're silly enough to build a beach house on stilts, don't complain when it washes away. P.S. I say this with some standing. My wife's uncle had a beach house near Myrtle Beach that was wiped out by Hugo. When they went to check on it, all that was left was a refrigerator that had been in the garage. They couldn't rebuild because beach erosion didn't leave enough room from the water. Part of their place was on stilts.
We know that climate change is real and that land formations come and go. There's really no denying that climate change is at least a natural cycle that earth goes through. I think people assume that when someone says climate change they are referring to human caused climate change by the burning of fossil fuels.

On Christ, the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand.
Castles made of sand fall into the sea eventually! Jimi Hendrix..Beautiful

@@1972Ray great info, thanks for the value added 👍
Money Money Money AHAHH Ahhh Money Money
5.3 mm/yr is just about 1/4" per year....oh the horror....
-------- " I blame local building codes for allowing this! " --- talk about greed ---
This is as good as its gunna look. The season for larger surf last from now until late April
Run 🏃🏃🏃
Who the hell approved construction permits for these properties!!! Greedy realtors and politicians 😂😂

The good lord sayeth build upon the rock and not upon the sand. Good advice, and I’m not even religious.
Those homes are eyesores. They can’t fall down fast enough……
I agree !
What’s inside these homes
Life vests
How the hell do they get electricity there?
Telephone poles and overhead wires. You can see them at 0:45.
Build out farther just go out another two hundred feet and just live on a boat 🛥️🥵✊. 😊
That’s my boy taking lemons and making lemonade!😂

Yea that was a crap load of fabric
Why doesnt the County replenish the sand like VA Beach does? This makes no sense.
why should the government pay to protect dumb people decisions
It's not a permanent solution. The sand has to be replenished over and over every few years, imagine the cost.
Because it's a sliver of sand less than a few 10ths of a mile wide. It would wash away in months.
Greedy home owners, developers, and realtors get what they deserve! Build a house on a sandbar by the seashore, ya that’s a good idea🤪
What were they thinking?? 😂
I have never seen uglier houses in my life, lol! These are not worth saving, especially not by spending 10s of millions of taxpayer money!
