Cape Hatteras National Seashore said the unoccupied oceanfront home fell early Sept. 20 in Rodanthe, a roughly 215-mile drive southeast from Raleigh. The house is the eighth to collapse in the area during the past four years.

After two oceanfront homes fell into the sea at the Outer Banks Friday, the main highway on the islands was flooded Saturday, North Carolina officials said.

Eight homes have fallen into the ocean in Rodanthe, N.C., since 2020, and more in the Outer Banks remain vulnerable to higher tides and looming storms.
