Another house collapses into the sea as this N.C. town erodes
Story by Brady Dennis • Yesterday 6:43 PMThe sea has claimed yet another oceanfront home in Rodanthe, N.C., a small Outer Banks community where severe erosion has caused numerous beachfront homeowners to retreat before they face a similar fate.
A home located at 23228 East Point Drive collapsed among the pounding surf along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore around noon on Monday, officials said. The incident marks the fourth house collapse since early last year in a community that is grappling with some of the most rapid rates of erosion and sea level rise on the East Coast.
