BUXTON, N.C. (WAVY) — A pair of offshore hurricanes produced large swells that helped collapse six unoccupied homes in Buxton, North Carolina, Tuesday afternoon, according to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

18 homes have now collapsed on Seashore beaches in the past five years, as the effects of these and other storms continue to ravage the coast in Rodanthe and Buxton, leaving much to clean up and more to ponder as other homes in the area teeter on the verge of collapse.

Earlier this month, a home collapsed at 46227 Tower Circle Road in Buxton.

As of 3:30 p.m., the Seashore was aware of five other home collapses that happened between 2 and 2:45 p.m.: • 46001 Cottage Avenue • 46002 Cottage Avenue • 46007 Cottage Avenue • 46209 Tower Circle Road • 46211 Tower Circle Road
