MANTEO, N.C. — Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) was notified shortly before 6 p.m. that an unoccupied house collapsed at 23047 G.A. Kohler Court in Rodanthe, North Carolina. Seashore staff are responding to the collapse and plan to begin initial cleanup efforts tomorrow, Oct. 4.

Seashore visitors should stay away from the collapsed house site and use caution for miles to the south of the site, particularly between G.A. Kohler Court and Atlantic Drive, due to the presence of potentially hazardous debris.
