What's Happening to the Coastlines of the US?

In light of dire predictions of US decapitation, consider the following:

North Carolina's Coast CAVES IN - 31+ Homes SWALLOWED, 1$ Billion In Damages

 

North Carolina's coast is caving into the Atlantic — and the Outer Banks are dissolving one house at a time. 

Thirty-one oceanfront homes have already fallen into the sea since 2020, sixteen of them in a single six-week stretch, as the shoreline at Rodanthe and Buxton retreats up to twenty feet a year. The barrier islands of Cape Hatteras National Seashore were never solid ground — they are ribbons of sand built to migrate landward. We anchored them with houses, roads, and septic lines, and now the Atlantic is taking it all back. 

This is the ongoing collapse of one of America's most exposed coastlines: why the homes keep falling, why a single storm erased up to 141 feet of beach, why there is still no fund to move them — and who pays the price as Dare County watches the sea reach the pilings.
