Park officials in North Carolina urge visitors to avoid the Outer Banks beaches after two homes collapsed into the ocean, highlighting ongoing erosion issues.
Authorities reported that the second unoccupied house collapsed just hours after the first, emphasizing the ongoing threat posed by rising sea levels and intensified storms.
The Dare County Sheriff's Office noted, 'No injuries were reported from the collapses,' but urged visitors to stay clear of all beaches due to hazardous debris.
The repeated collapses, the ninth in four years, reflect the impacts of climate change, with stronger storms and rising sea levels accelerating coastal erosion.
