Increased risk of rising water levels and erosion of coasts
A strong wave hits these pillars and the house collapses. But instead of sinking under water, it floats in the sea. The second house that collapsed on the same day was located in the same area of Rodanthe. According to a CNN report, there are growing concerns about rising sea levels and beach erosion along the Cape Hatteras Island border in North Carolina. The house was located on an old part of the beach which is filled with tourists during the summer.
The storm hit the Outer Bank area
According to reports, another house collapsed in Rodanthe in February, whose debris spread for miles into the sea. After these accidents, the authorities are afraid that the sea may swallow many more houses in the coming days. These houses are falling at a time when the Outer Banks area is witnessing severe weather including dangerous waves and strong winds. The department said water could rise on the seashore and tourists should avoid going near the sea during storms.
