Nothing else remained

Is it grammatically correct to use the expression "nothing else remained"?

For example:

"The old house stood still in the raging storm, where nothing else remained."

Meaning that the storm swept everything away but the house.

Edit: or as you have stated : ..., where everything else have been s
