Five homes collapse into the surf of the Outer Banks as hurricanes rumble in Atlantic

Five unoccupied houses on North Carolina's Outer Banks collapsed into the ocean Tuesday due to hurricanes offshore. The homes in Buxton, once on stilts, were battered by waves before falling. No injuries were reported, but the National Park Service warned of more potential collapses and advised people to avoid the debris-filled shoreline. This incident adds to a growing trend of structures falling into the sea on the eroding North Carolina coast, with seventeen private homes collapsing since 2020.
