Video captured the moment an elevated beachfront home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina collapsed and was washed out to sea Friday by waves caused by Hurricane Ernesto, according to The New York Times.
Hurricane Ernesto made landfall Saturday morning in Bermuda as a weakening Category 1. The waves caused by the storm combining with high tides appeared to be too much for a home local officials claimed was already at risk of collapsing, according to The New York Times, citing weather experts.
