The aforementioned buried car in Rodanthe. I don't know if they ever got it out.

Rodanthe House

This house was in Rodanthe in October when I was there for vacation. It is the house that was used for the outside shots in the movie Nights of Rodanthe with Richard Gere and some other female actor whom I cannot remember right now. This was just after a weekend of storms that caused the ocean to breach the dunes and cover the road with sand. They had to use earth movers to clear the road. I saw one house where the swimming pool was completely buried and another where they did not get the car out in time and the car was buried up to the lower portion of the windows. You can dig out of snow but I'm not sure you can dig out of sand, at least not easily. Anyway I really like vacationing in that part of the state and am looking forward to going back. I may not make it this year though as we have decided to try Hawaii. A free time share and buddy passes for the flight helped to make that decision. We have never been and are looking forward to going. The island we will be staying on is Kauai. Anybody been there done that?
