As you may remember, I recently moved to Florida from the Outer Banks. Little tidbit here: the movie was actually shot in Rodanthe (Ro-DAN-thee). Many of the locals worked for the film crew in a variety of capacities. The house they used (the one shown with the raging ocean sweeping beneath its pilings) is an actual house that people can rent for vacations - the name of it is Serendipity. It is in a community called Mirlo Beach that has been hard hit by erosion from hurricanes and nor'easers over the past few years. Just a week or so ago, another really bad storm came through and took down another house just a few lots away from Serendipity - this time a million dollar house that was only 10 years old. If you want to read more about the destruction that can be caused by a storm like this, check out the Island Free Press story (from Hatteras Island) at http://www.islandfreepress.org/2008Archives/10.20.2008-ASmallStormCausesBigTroubleOnHatterasIsland.html and the amazing slide show of the effects of the storm at: http://www.islandfreepress.org/2008Archives/10.20.2008-ASmallStormCausesBigTroubleOnHatterasIslandSlideshow/index.html. Serendipity is still standing, but it's anyone's guess for how long. Hi Laura Lee:
