North Carolina Beach House Collapses And Washes Away Into The Ocean

On the Atlantic coast of North Carolina, a beach house was swept into the water as shown in this clip released by the US National Park Service.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore posted the footage on their social media following the collapse of the house, located along Ocean Drive, Rodanthe, built on stilts that gave way to the persistent waves.

This was the second unoccupied house that had collapsed on the seashore.

In a statement released on Cape Hatteras National Seashore's social media, they said: "The beach near Ocean Drive is closed and law enforcement officials will close Ocean Drive shortly. Visitors are cautioned to stay away from the beach in this area."
