ya everyone SAY NO! and watch our beach houses crash into the water...
-
I have been a property owner for 40 years at MP 11 and seen the beach change. I, for one, am happy to see the nourishment project go forward. It is suppose to last for 20-30 years, according to one of their engineers. Great Lakes has done a fantastic job. Sorry for the inconvenience it may have caused some vistors (we could hear the 'dozers from our cottage working all night long), but I hope and pray this project will prove its worth ($30+ million).

You have to watch messing around with nature on these barrier islands. If you try to haul in sand and put it where you DO want it, the ocean will put it some- place you DON'T want it! Like we used to eat at that Steak House near Rodanthe, but 4 years ago we went by there and dunes had it covered up to the roof! We live down here in Lantana, FL. Our beach washed away last year and nearly caved in a restaurant. The sea will do what it wants...PERIOD!

The outer banks are a big sand bar...no reef, no rocks, just sand. It will continue to move around as you said "as mother nature dictates"...
good video

It's about the same now...

If you don't spend $ to make sure things maintain a certain level, no matter the unique nature of the OBX shoreline, you'll destroy the economy and well being of an entire region. There are times when you have to bow to mother nature and start over. The state and local governments will have to do what they need to do or all of NC and surrounding areas will suffer the financial consequences. Personally, I'd rather fight mother nature than deal with more of the Al Gore gloabl warming whackjobs.

There are many factors that could contribute to this... not just a storm
-
It's the waves from a storm that did that...or even if you get a strong flow one way or the other along the beach, it can carve out the sand like that. We had one of those in Monmouth Beach, NJ this fall, though it was back at the dune line.

"today that section of the beach is no better or no worse" Why not show footage of it today? Cause I lived in Kitty hawk and saw cottages like that slowly fall into the ocean over the years. Your video is less than persuading. From I learned the outerbanks is a migrating island which means yes the sand comes and goes but more often it goes and will continue to do so. So basically we are screwed in the long run.

The section of beach in this video is in Kill Devil Hills, not Kitty Hawk. And, it is about the same today as when the video was taken.
