A house in North Carolina collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean after a huge swell from Hurricane Ernesto. The hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm but is forecast to become a hurricane again as it heads toward Canada's Newfoundland in the Atlantic.
A dramatic video shared on Instagram shows a North Carolina home collapsing into the Atlantic Ocean on Friday. The home, located in Rodanthe on Hatteras Island, is seen getting knocked off of its wooden foundation by waves along the shore. A loud crash could be heard in the video as the home falls into the ocean and gets lulled back-and-forth by the waves. The house was unoccupied and no injuries were reported when it collapsed Friday evening, the National Park Service said in a news release.
“Many other homes appear to have sustained damages in the Rodanthe area. Dangerous debris may be present on the beach and in the water for more than a dozen miles.” The collapse of the home on Corbina Drive is the seventh house collapse in four years along National Seashore beaches in North Carolina, according to the service. The service is in contact with the home’s owner and will conduct debris removal efforts if other plans aren’t made after the elevated sea conditions subside next week.
