@epic.shutter.photography: October 18, 2026, afternoon high tide in Rodanthe, NC. I went to some of the vulnerable areas with homes in the ocean. High winds but the ocean is not flooding the road or the homes like the last storm. Considerably less beach than before the September Nor’easter, but thankful Highway 12 is dry with no ocean over wash after another high tide cycle. #rodanthe #northcarolina #outerbanks #storm #ocean
How for from the high tide line were these houses when they were built??

Back in my 20s these houses were so far away from the beach, but as the years have come by the beach erosion is just tearing everything up back in the early 90s, these houses were immaculate and so far away from the ocean now it’s just years and years a beach erosion

I truly can't believe the Black Pearl is still standing. I just found you yesterday but have looked at quite a bit of your videos already. You do amazing work.

How do people get to build a house on the ocean?

Some of those that people are still in I couldn’t shut my eyes at night to sleep thinking I might wake up in the middle of the ocean

So do you just call the insurance company ahead of time?And just warn them, or do you just wait or what. what the hell is wrong with builders who tell people that their house will be just fine. somebody should be responsible for this. And all the pollution and chemical waste, it's going to be created from this. no houses should ever be put there ever again. It's so simple.

it’s a barrier island that constantly changes. People took a gamble and are losing the battle with Mother Nature. its almost as if barrier island should not used for building homes on.

say what you will about people's choices, it is still sad to see the loss of these homes and the navigation hazards their pieces become

I can’t believe how quickly that yellow house part of the beach. Less than a year ago, it seems like there were dunes in front of it, and the sand was very high underneath. It was not on on the beach at all.

It’s sad, so many happy memories that probably happened in these homes… but also, if you build a home that close to the ocean… it’s bound to happen.
