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.

Officials say to stay out of the water near the north end of Rodanthe and potentially for miles to the south, due to an early morning collapse of an unoccupied house.
