Another seaside home along the Outer Banks in North Carolina collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean this week, the 12th collapse on the Seashore beaches over the past five years.
The unoccupied house collapsed Tuesday evening during the high waves from the coastal storm.
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is urging visitors to avoid the beach and stay out of the water near Buxton, N.C.
“A pre-existing beach safety closure from the north end of Buxton to around off-road vehicle ramp 43 may need to be expanded, depending on the extent of the debris field. Visitors should also avoid the north end of Rodanthe due to the presence of threatened oceanfront structures,” Cape Hatteras National Seashore said Tuesday evening.
The Outer Banks is a thin line of islands located on the easternmost side of North Carolina. The popular holiday destination deals with hurricanes on a yearly basis.
On Monday, the Basnight Bridge was temporarily closed after a modular home blew off its trailer.
