As hurricane season begins, another home collapses along North Carolina’s Outer Banks
Another home has collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean in Buxton, North Carolina, marking the 20th such incident since September 2025.

The National Park Service has temporarily closed beach access in the area for safety reasons as more homes remain at risk.
- ▪The collapsed home was unoccupied and took less than 30 minutes for waves to consume it.
- ▪This year alone, five homes have collapsed in Buxton, contributing to a total of 32 since 2020.
- ▪The National Weather Service issued a High Surf Advisory due to rough surf generated by a departing coastal storm.
