Two neighboring homes collapsing within hours in Rodanthe have local officials urging visitors to avoid all beaches in town. Around 9:18 p.m. on Friday, a one-story home on G A Kohler Court fell down and washed out into the ocean to mark the second home collapse of the day along the stretch of elevated oceanfront homes.

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.
