BUXTON, N.C. – Piles of debris are being moved from the Outer Banks village of Buxton , North Carolina, to a designated spot for removal as rough surf continues to threaten more homes in this unique coastal community threatened by coastal erosion.
Two hurricanes , Imelda and Humberto, passed hundreds of miles offshore from the U.S. East Coast last week, exasperating the rough coastal conditions in North Carolina 's Dare County, causing nine homes on Hatteras Island to fall into the surf.
Eight homes collapsed in Buxton, including one live on FOX Weather , over three days.
Photos show piles of debris littering the beach in Buxton, as the surf continues to threaten additional homes on stilts.
