Two beachside homes in North Carolina’s Outer Banks have collapsed from high water levels and beach erosion, and more could collapse in the coming days, according to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The two homes in Rodanthe were both unoccupied at the time, the agency said. Video from the agency showed the demise of one home as ocean waves caused the stilts supporting the house to teeter and fall.In February, another home in Rodanthe also collapsed, spreading debris across miles of beaches.
Sea level in this part of coastal North Carolina has risen roughly 3 inches since the early 1980s, according to NASA. Coastal erosion costs around half a billion dollars each year in the form of deteriorated structures and land that is lost to the rising ocean.Homes had been in danger for monthsThe collapses in Rodanthe occurred during severe weather and flood-level high tides.
