Another Outer Banks property has collapsed into the North Carolina ocean, the third since Thursday.

North Carolina park officials advised swimmers and surfers to avoid the beaches of Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo due to debris floating in the waves.
A third house has collapsed in the last week on North Carolina’s Outer Banks island of Hatteras, as storms intensify and rising sea levels encroach on coastal houses.

North Carolina park officials advised swimmers and surfers to avoid the beaches of Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo due to debris floating in the waves. Additionally, rangers on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore advised beachgoers to wear protective shoes when going along the 70-mile stretch of shoreline that includes the beach in front of Rodanthe to avoid injuries from nails jutting out of wooden debris.

The uninhabited house collapsed Tuesday afternoon, just hours after two other beachside residences in Rodanthe collapsed on Friday.

Another house collapsed in the Outer Banks.
The vacant house on G.A. Kohler Court collapsed around 1 p.m. on Tuesday, according to a National Park Service statement. The house’s owner has hired a debris cleanup firm, and Seashore staff plan to help with the cleanup activities.
Seashore authorities have blocked the beach from G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe to Wimble Shores North Court in Waves due to garbage on the beach and in the sea. The park service published photographs of the wrecked residence as well as crumbling piles of rubble.

There were no reported injuries from the incident.
