Homes Collapsing in Outer Banks: A Sign of Things to Come?

Buxton and Rodanthe, North Carolinas Outer Banks, face a dire situation as twenty-seven beachfront homes have collapsed since 2020 due to rising sea levels and powerful storms. Stacy Morgan and Brandon Dodicks home was one of sixteen that fell in just five months, leaving them without a retirement plan. The National Flood Insurance Program, a safety net for homeowners, is currently frozen, leaving many at risk. Experts warn that this could be a sign of things to come for other coastal areas, with consequences including debris, pollution, and damage to neighboring structures. DNN | The Daily News Now!
