OBX home collapse: 3rd one this year, 8th in last 4 years, officials say

The Cape Hatteras National Seashore said an unoccupied house in Rodanthe collapsed early Friday morning. No one was hurt.

RODANTHE, N.C. — Another beach house has collapsed into the ocean in the Outer Banks, part of a growing problem.

The Cape Hatteras National Seashore on Friday said an unoccupied house at 23001 G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe collapsed in the early morning hours. No injuries were reported.

The Cape Hatteras National Seashore urged visitors to avoid the beach and stay out of the water near the north end of Rodanthe.

"Dangerous debris may be present on the beach and in the water to the north and south of the collapse site, which will likely lead to temporary beach closures for public safety," the group wrote.

The group said an adjacent home was damaged due to the house collapse. A debris removal contractor is expected to begin cleaning up the site on Friday.
