In Brunswick County, eight homes were washed away by the waves, and 40 feet (12 m) of the beach was lost. Total losses in North Carolina amounted to approximately $1.9 million. Since then, the entire coastal plain of the east coast has experienced a constant rise in sea level and rose dramatically between 2011 and 2015.
