Look at this house(trashed)

[1QIK-SNK]

I used to service the pool and hot tub at this(rental cottage) house in Rodanthe, North Carolina. It was built in 2003 and was good ways from the ocean. 5 years of nor-easters and its trashed. I was watching the waves break right in the house. It WAS a 6 bedroom 6 bath house. The house right beside it is next.

Damn. That sucks. And thats an understatement.

 

[NasteeNate]

Yeah what a shame...

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

how come thy didnt try and move it if the ocean was getting so close? hope they have insurance

 

[CobraBob]

Yeah what a shame...

Took the words right out of my mouth. It surely is a shame. Looked like a nice house. A nice house with a great view. :uh oh:

WOW. that sucks.

it must have had a beautiful view...

It is wierd how far the house was away from the ocean 5 years ago. It as amazing how much beach erosion there is in 5 years.

I honestly don't have a whole lot of sympathy for that.

This is just like the people around here who build their homes right on the banks of the Mississippi and whine and complain every year when the river floods and basically destroys their home...

Thats why my house is about 3 miles from the ocean.

Wow that sucks for them! I hope they had insurance. What a waste...

Here in South Florida the beaches around my house were wiped out overnight with just on tropical storm... Not much you can do at the moment it is happening.

It is amazing what some wind, rain and erosion can do to some thing that is well built.

 

[WizardsCobra]

Wow that sucks to see. Some really nice houses.

room with a view

Considering it's on almost a 45 degree angle, I'm really impressed at how intact and rigid looking the house still is. It appears you could use a huge crane and upright it and it would be fine. I doubt it, but that's what it looks like.

I mean, if someone was inside of that, they would have survived. Very impressive.

I can see whats left of the pool lol.

 

[Gallows]

I'm glad I don't live in an area with weather like that.

True but this is likely due to other manmade structures like seawalls etc. that disrupt the winter/summer beach profile to the point where you permanently lose sand. Homes on stilts like that are not the cause of this.

You can't really compare floodplain with coastal morphology, they're two different things.

 

[1QIK-SNK]

I can see whats left of the pool lol.

the house is sitting on the other half. There was a hot tub on the ocean side of the house on the middle deck. i bet some one has a hot tub now. lol
