Cape Hatteras National Seashore said the unoccupied oceanfront home fell early Sept. 20 in Rodanthe, a roughly 215-mile drive southeast from Raleigh. The house is the eighth to collapse in the area during the past four years.

After two oceanfront homes fell into the sea at the Outer Banks Friday, the main highway on the islands was flooded Saturday, North Carolina officials said.

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