Video captured the moment an elevated beachfront home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina collapsed and was washed out to sea Friday by waves caused by Hurricane Ernesto, according to The New York Times.
Hurricane Ernesto made landfall Saturday morning in Bermuda as a weakening Category 1. The waves caused by the storm combining with high tides appeared to be too much for a home local officials claimed was already at risk of collapsing, according to The New York Times, citing weather experts.
Rodanthe, the Cape Hatteras town where the single family house was located, is home to 200 people, the outlet reported. The community has reportedly seen seven homes washed away by the ocean in the past four years. (RELATED: Shocking Video Shows House Collapsing Into River After Historic Flooding In Alaska)
