9/23/24 Report - Big Erosion at North Carolina Beaches. Gold Soaring. Another Hurricane in Gulf? High Tides Continue.


Written by the TreasureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.




Yet another home has collapsed into the rising surf along the Cap Hatteras National Seashore friday Night.  showing the ongoing threat of erosion and rising sea levels to North Carolina's Outer Banks.

The home had suffered damage from an adjacent home that collapsed into the surf earlier in the day along G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe.


Police received a call Friday night that the one-story unoccupied home had gone into the ocean. Officers arrived to find the home crumbled and swept into the surf before its debris washed back ashore further down the court.

The homeowners are securing contractors to clean up the debris. In the meantime, National Park Service staff warn all beachgoers on the north end of Rodanthe and for miles to the south, to stay out of the water and wear hard-soled shoes when walking on the beach to avoid injuries from hazardous floating debris and nail-ridden wooden debris. Park staff have already found debris from Friday morning’s house collapse present 9 miles to the south.
