The area has been grappling with severe coastal erosion in recent years. Oceanfront houses have been collapsing into the sea since 2020, per local news outlet Island Free Press. "The Seashore is communicating with the owner of the house to coordinate the removal of the house and all related debris on the beach," US National Park Service officials at Cape Hatteras said in the statement.

California beach town residents woke up Thursday morning to collapsed ocean piers, massive 35-foot waves, tide surges and widespread flooding, KTLA sister station KRON reports. The cause of the collapse remains under investigation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, with the probe entering a new phase this month to cut and drill into concrete and steel. Champlain Towers South had a long history of maintenance problems, and shoddy construction techniques were used in the early 1980s. Other possible factors include sea level rise caused by climate change and damage caused by saltwater intrusion.

The site of the collapse on Monday is about a mile north of Ocean Drive, where other homes collapsed last year, including two that collapsed on the same day in May. The site of the collapse on Monday is about a mile (1.61 kilometers) north of Ocean Drive, where other homes collapsed last year, including two that collapsed on the same day in May. Cape Hatteras National Seashore has an emergency plan in place to deploy park service staff and volunteer teams immediately if houses fall into the surf. The site of the collapse on Monday is about a mile north of Ocean Drive, where other homes collapsed last year, including two that collapsed on the same day in May.

Cleanup since the February 9 collapse continues, though volunteers have been able to get most of the debris gone. A house collapsed into the ocean Monday on the string of islands just off the coast of North Carolina, according to U.S. (AP) — A house collapsed into the ocean Monday on the string of islands just off the coast of North Carolina, according to U.S. North Carolina's coast consists of narrow, low-lying barrier islands that make up the Outer Banks, where sandbags are put up as a way to fend off the waves.

"Unfortunately, there may be more houses that collapse onto Seashore beaches in the near future," Superintendent David Hallac of the National Parks of Eastern North Carolina said. "We proactively reached out to homeowners along Ocean Drive in Rodanthe after the first house collapse and recommended that actions be taken to prevent collapse and impacts to Cape Hatteras National Seashore." "Unfortunately, there may be more houses that collapse onto Seashore beaches in the near future," David Hallac, superintendent of National Parks of Eastern North Carolina, said in a statement. A house in Rodanthe collapsed in February and spread debris across many miles of beaches before the homeowner and volunteers were able to clean most of it up.

He could not say specifically that the homes are in jeopardy of collapsing, but they were condemned the same day a neighboring house on East Point Drive collapsed into the ocean. In February 2022, a North Carolina beachfront home partially collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean, spreading debris more than seven miles across the coast. Another beachfront home in Rodanthe, North Carolina, has collapsed into the ocean, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore said in a news release on Monday. The house, in Rodanthe, North Carolina on Hatteras Island, is the second to collapse at the seashore Tuesday.

Hatteras Island is located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, which pop culture fans may recognize as the setting of the popular Netflix program Outer Banks. It's one of the longest islands in the continental United States, and acts as a barrier island, protecting the coastline from large-scale weather events like hurricanes. The NPS has closed the seashore, but when conditions improve, it will organize volunteer cleanups. Anyone who does work to pick up debris off the seashore is urged to pile it above the high tide line, lest it get washed back into the water.

"In an effort to protect Cape Hatteras National Seashore's natural resources and help ensure the safety of visitors, the National Park Service began cleaning the beach [Tuesday] morning," said Mike Barber with the National Park Service. Rodanthe loses about 14 feet of beach per year on average, but the severe erosion can spread to as much as 20 feet in some sections, per the North Carolina Coastal Federation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the state's coast. A chilling video of a house slowly collapsing off its supports and into the ocean was posted Tuesday afternoon.

— Like millions of other people this week, Hien Pham marveled at the online video of the two-story, pea-green beach house as it collapsed into a rising sea, left to bob in the agitated surf like a giant cork. Officials warned visitors to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on the state’s Outer Banks to watch out for debris from a collapsed one-story house along the beach and in the ocean in Rodanthe. Two beachfront homes in North Carolina’s Outer Banks collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday, brought down by the rush of powerful waves, high tides and whipping winds. An atmospheric river-powered rainstorm triggered evacuation orders for residents living closest to some Bay Area and Santa Cruz County beaches Wednesday night. Emergency crews urged the public to stay away from the coast Thursday morning as the storm and high tide continued whipping up a monster swell.

Hours later, a second unoccupied home, also on Ocean Drive, crumbled into the water, the park service said. Local residents who ventured to the beach had to run to avoid being swept up in fast-moving water. Video footage showed the Capitola Wharf split in half and a section of the wharf collapsing into the sea. Water from the ocean and Soquel Creek surged back and forth carrying massive tree trunks.

At first the home remained intact as it was pushed around in the surf, but it eventually broke apart, sending pieces of debris into the ocean. The homes are close to the North Carolina Highway 12 roundabout that leads to the Jug Handle Bridge, and officials have asked the public to use caution while in that area due to the debris from the home that collapsed. — Four oceanfront homes in Rodanthe, North Carolina were condemned Monday due to impacts from high surf and erosion, Dare County Planning Director Noah Gillam told 13News Now. And in May, a video circulating on Twitter captured the dramatic moment when a Rodanthe house on stilts fell into the sea and was swept away after being pummeled by powerful ocean waves. Reports of the collapsed houses were confirmed by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The organization posted a video of the second collapse, which shows the stilts of the home first breaking apart and then the remaining structure being carried away by the waves.

Barber said the Park Service would also likely organize a volunteer beach cleanup event soon. Although Dare County spent around $71 million in 2022 on beach nourishment projects in towns like Southern Shores and Kitty Hawk, there are no such projects planned for Rodanthe at the moment. Officials have warned visitors to be careful when participating in recreational activities nearby.

Sea level rise due to climate change is likely exacerbating such problems on the Outer Banks. A neighborhood of vacation homes off the coast of North Carolina has become a symbol of the effects of rising oceans. According to a photographer on the scene, Don Bowers, the second home to go down took only four minutes to collapse into the ocean and break apart. The state Transportation Department announced the closing of Highway 12 this week and shared photos of sand and water covering roads in the extreme weather conditions. The first home, which was unoccupied, fell Tuesday at Ocean Drive in Rodanthe, the National Park Service said. Wave forecasters with Surfline said Thursday’s “bombing” west-northwest swell may be the biggest in 15 years for California.

North Carolina’s coast is almost entirely made up of narrow, low-lying barrier islands. The islands are particularly vulnerable to storm surges and to being washed over from both sides. Santa Cruz County officials said the storm caused “significant damage throughout the county and along the coast.” The sheriff’s office urged residents of beachfront homes to avoid ocean-facing windows amid the tidal surge. Neither home is the first to collapse on the seashore this year, either. On February 9, another home collapsed, and the ocean spread the debris across miles of beaches, the NPS said.
