Six beachfront houses fell into the ocean Tuesday as rough surf from offshore hurricanes pounded North Carolina's Outer Banks.
The homes, perched on stilts in Buxton on Hatteras Island, buckled one by one as six-to-12 foot waves from Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda slammed the coast.
Five fell in under an hour just after 2pm and a sixth toppled just before midnight, locals said. They were condemned back in 2023, and though once valued at around $400,000 each, the homes had lost all their worth by the time they toppled.
The homes were the latest beachfront structures to fall in the Hatteras Island area. The destruction brings the total number of Hatteras Island homes lost to the sea to 18 since 2020.
'It's awful,' Buxton Civic Association's Heather Jennette told Daily Mail.
'As of this morning we have lost six houses. It's very sad. What's more sad is that North Carolina is the only state with laws restricting the ability to try and help strengthen our coast.
'We have known this would happen without increased stabilization.
'We were all hoping we might get through this fall and winter, as there is a plan in place for repair of one jetty out of three and another round of beach nourishment.

The unoccupied houses along the coast were propped on stilts, which began buckling at 2pm ET and they eventually toppled not long after
Resident Heather Jennette said: 'We've known this would happen.'
'Unfortunately the current state of the jetties has accelerated erosion, and coupled with the surge from the hurricanes proved too much for some of these homes to handle.
'Also, insurance will only kick in once they fall, which is most unfortunate. There are limited options to be proactive that don't put the cost totally out of pocket to the homeowners.'
The homes are located in Buxton, a community on the string of islands that make up the Outer Banks.
No injuries were reported, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore said in a post on social media.
But in dramatic videos shown by the local station 13News Now, the homes swayed on stilts, getting battered by the waves until they collapsed into the surf.
Locals were warned to stay away from the area. Debris, from two-by-fours to walls and glass, littered the shoreline.
Nearby homes are also at risk with storms set to continue.
'We're going to need some help when it's over, Jennette said.

The latest disaster brings the total of fallen Hatteras Island homes to 17 since 2020 and locals are worried there's more to come
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore says the unoccupied homes collapsed between 2pm and 2.45pm and there are no reported injuries at this time
The homes are located in Buxton, a community on the string of islands that make up the Outer Banks in North Carolina, an area made famous by Outer Banks show on Netflix
Locals were warned to stay away from the area. Both the ocean and the shore was filled with two-by-fours, crumbling walls and glass as the waves rolled in
Nearby homes are also expected to completely crumble into the Atlantic, as the barrier island they sit on is eroding
'We need help from the legislature making some changes that allow us to help ourselves. And we've been screaming at semi deaf ears.'
Nearby, the days are numbered for two North Carolina beachfront homes that are teetering on the edge of collapse.
The houses, in Rodanthe, NC, are also part of the Outer Banks, an area which became famous as a result of the hit Netflix show named after it.
The structures are expected to completely crumble into the Atlantic, as the barrier island they sit on is eroding.
At least 11 neighboring houses have already been swallowed by the ocean since 2020 due to beach erosion and climate change, according to the National Park Service.
The tiny village of just 200 people juts farther into the ocean than any other part of the Tar Heel State, making it especially vulnerable to the sea.
But experts say it is no surprise that these homes are on the edge of collapse.
Barrier islands like the Outer Banks were never meant to hold permanent structures.
