In Rodanthe, N.C., seven homes have been lost to the ocean in the last four years, as rising sea levels erode shorelines and put more buildings at risk.
My wife’s family used to have a vacation home on Ocracoke. One year her mom bought some romance novel for a beach read that was set on Ocracoke, it seemed appropriate.
It was pretty clear that the writer had never been to Ocracoke or even bothered looking at Google maps because they talked about the cliffs by the sea.
It’s a glorified sandbar, just about the biggest elevation changes you’ll find are some dunes and the curb stepping off a sidewalk onto the road, nothing even remotely resembling a cliff.
