U.S. National Park Service officials say an unoccupied house has collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean along North Carolina's Outer Banks.
Another house has collapsed into the Atlantic Ocean along North Carolina 's coast, the sixth to fall along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore's beaches in the past four years, according to U.S. National Park Service officials. About one mile of the beach along Ocean Drive in Rodanthe on the Outer Banks was closed after Tuesday's collapse.
A study published in Nature Communications last year found that since 2010, sea level rise along the nation's Southeast and Gulf coasts had reached rates that were 'unprecedented in at least 120 years.' 'These rapid rates are unprecedented over at least the 20th century and they have been three times higher than the global average over the same period,' said Tulane professor Sönke Dangendorf, who led the study.
