A third house has collapsed on in Rodanthe, beaches are closed from Rodanthe to Waves.

A third house has collapsed on G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe.

Cape Hatteras National Seashore has temporarily closed the beach from G A Kohler Court in Rodanthe to Wimble Shores North Court in Waves.

Swimmers and surfers are urged to stay out the water in front of the villages of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo, because there is a large amount of hazardous floating debris that could cause injuries.

National Park Service

At the north end of Rodanthe and for miles to the south, the Seashore continues to urge visitors to wear hard-soled shoes when walking on the beach to avoid injuries from nail-ridden wooden debris.

Rangers say the owner of the house has hired a debris cleanup contractor and Seashore employees plan on supplementing cleanup efforts.

It’s the third house to collapse in Rodanthe since Friday, and the tenth house collapse in the past four years.

Annette is originally a Midwest gal, born and raised in Michigan, but with career stops in many surrounding states, the Pacific Northwest, and various parts of the southeast. An award-winning journalist and mother of four, Annette moved to eastern North Carolina in 2019 to be closer to family – in particular, her two young grandchildren. It’s possible that a -27 day with a -68 windchill in Minnesota may have also played a role in that decision. In her spare time, Annette does a lot of kiddo cuddling, reading, and producing the coolest Halloween costumes anyone has ever seen. She has also worked as a diversity and inclusion facilitator serving school districts and large corporations. It’s the people that make this beautiful area special, and she wants to share those stories that touch the hearts of others.
