Bad News: Storm Ernesto’s surge damages the Atlantic shore, causing a house to fall into the water….
Gray News/WITN/RADANTHE, N.C. A visitor warning has been issued by North Carolina officials following the collapse of an abandoned beach house at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
With Hurricane Ernesto’s surf battering the Outer Banks beachfront, the exact moment the house fell into the water was captured on camera.
Over the previous four years, seven houses have collapsed along that length of coastline in Rodanthe, including the one on Corbina Drive.
Because to the high surf, the Chicamacomico Banks Fire & Rescue advises people to keep off the beaches and the water in Rodanthe.
More than a dozen kilometers may have seen the hazardous debris in the sea and on the beach, according to officials.
It is closed to the public from Rodanthe’s northern limit to the northern end of the Jug Handle Bridge.
Officials from Cape Hatteras National Seashore are in communication with the landowner. The agency anticipates that work on clearing the debris won’t begin until early next week, when the sea conditions have calmed.
