The world according to me....

I was in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, a few weeks ago to check out a beach dune reconstruction project. The work was associated with road work on Highway 12, which runs right along the coast from Ocracoke Island to Corolla in the Outerbanks. Parts of the highway had been washed out from storms and/or hurricanes over the past year or so. Obviously, if the road was washed out, then the homes between the road and the ocean must also be under threat. In one part of the beach, I saw this beach house (above) standing alone in the sand. In the past, I suspect that there were other houses on either side of it, but right now it is the only one still standing. With the power of the ocean in that area, I wonder how long it will last? I will be back up that way later on in the summer and fall, and will check on its status then
