Earl’s glancing blow brushed off
Considered the Nantucket house most likely to tumble into the sea, Ratner’s sandbagged, sea-soaked, and precariously perched residence is still standing after towering surf pounded the property during Tropical Storm Earl.
But that reprieve could be a Pyrrhic victory. When he left the five-bedroom home near Madaket at 5 p.m. Friday, Ratner acknowledged, he might have left for the last time as a resident.

Fifteen feet from the main residence is a three-bedroom cottage that Ratner has listed as a vacation rental. “Our guest cottage is situated in front of 500 feet of our own private white sandy swimming beach,’’ an ad on the Internet reads. “Just steps from the ocean.’’
