This is the shocking moment a house collapsed into the ocean in Rodanthe, North Carolina.

The two-story building caved into the Atlantic Ocean on September 24 due to ongoing erosion.

Footage shows the foundation of the home disintegrating, causing it to be battered by the waves and drift toward the shore in pieces.
This prompted shock among onlookers, who can be heard screaming at what happened.

Local authorities have issued a stern warning for residents and visitors to avoid the ocean and nearby beaches, citing the dangers posed by the debris now strewn across the water and shore.

Authorities said that cleanup efforts are underway, but the long-term effects on the ocean and local wildlife remain a pressing concern.
This incident, the third in a week, highlights the devastating situation facing Rodanthe and its residents due to coastal erosion.
