This is the fifth house to collapse into the ocean in the area this year, and the 10th in the past four years, per Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Cape Hatteras National Seashore says the owner of the house has hired a cleanup contractor, and Seashore employees will assist with the efforts.

There are also other houses nearby in danger of collapse, the fire department says, including the one right next to the home that went down Tuesday. So why not take them down before they fall? The owners of the homes say they're not able to proactively demolish them because it might not be covered by insurance. A contractor in charge of cleanup told WAVY's Andy Fox that things need to change to protect the environment and save money on cleanup.
