Sixth House Collapses on North Carolina's Eroding Outer Banks

Severe weather and rising sea levels continue to threaten coastal homes in Rodanthe.

A house in Rodanthe, North Carolina, fell into the ocean overnight due to high winds and tides, marking the sixth such collapse this year.
The collapse led to the temporary closure of a section of Highway 12 and nearby beaches due to hazardous debris.
Officials warn that more homes in the area are at risk as coastal erosion worsens with rising sea levels and frequent storms.
The National Park Service is monitoring other unoccupied structures that could potentially collapse soon.
Debris from the collapsed houses poses a threat to surrounding areas, prompting warnings for visitors to avoid certain beaches.
