This is the terrifying moment a beachside house collapsed and is swept out to sea during a violent storm. The unoccupied property – valued at $381,200 – was stood on stilts on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina, USA, before a huge gust of wind toppled it. Heavy tides had weakened the supports before strong winds sent the four-bed home in Rodanthe, North Carolina, into the Atlantic Ocean (10/05/22). Waves can be seen rolling under the raised building, causing the footings under the stilts to erode, and sent it crashing into the water. The house was then thrashed about in the rough sea and gradually broken up. This is the second house to have collapsed at Cape Hatteras National Seashore this year, after another was brought down on February 9. A third home has also been reported to have succumbed to the winds shortly after 24235 Ocean Drive, on the same street. The beach and Ocean Drive have been closed by law enforcement officials, and visitors are warned to stay away from the area.
