Episode notes

More homes collapsed into the ocean on the Outer Banks of North Carolina Wednesday night, resulting from a pair of offshore hurricanes that produced large swells and helped bring about the collapse of six other unoccupied homes in a 24-hour span. It marks 19 homes that have collapsed on Outer Banks beaches in the past five years. Laura Moore, Professor at Coastal Environmental Change Lab and a professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss potential solutions.
