A North Carolina coastal storm sent a home into the ocean off the Outer Banks island of Hatteras overnight Friday, marking the sixth house collapse in the area this year.
The unoccupied home was in the village of Rodanthe in Dare County, according to the National Park Service. No injuries were reported due to the collapse.
A portion of Highway 12 temporarily closed near the collapse, as well as the beach in front of Rodanthe due hazardous debris. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which is contact with the property owner, is urging victors to stay clear of the area, as well as the ocean “for potentially many miles to the south of Rodanthe…”
