A third house has collapsed within a week on the Outer Banks island of Hatteras in North Carolina as storms grow in intensity and rising sea levels encroach on beachfront homes.
North Carolina park officials warned swimmers and surfers to avoid the beaches in Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo due to the debris floating amid the waves. Additionally, beachgoers should wear protective shoes when walking along the 70-mile stretch of shoreline that includes the beach in front of Rodanthe to avoid injuries from nails sticking out of wooden debris, warned rangers on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The collapse of the unoccupied house, which occurred Tuesday afternoon, comes after two other beachfront houses in Rodanthe collapsed within hours of one another on Friday
