BUXTON, N.C. — Since the first day the houses started collapsing, News 3 has been covering the Buxton oceanfront and coastal storm after coastal storm. The most recent impacts can be seen from this weekend's storm, which caused decks to fall on one threatened oceanfront home in the area.

It's the same area where I found James Hartshorne Tuesday morning.

"It gets sadder as time goes on. It was just kind of a surprise and a disappointment when it fell in. It's just really sad to find my chair back over here and all that kind of stuff," said Hartshorne.

Hartshorne calls Montana home, but he is the former homeowner of the eighth house that fell into the ocean in Buxton on Oct. 2.

"The house name was Windermere, and we bought that after renting it in 1993," said Hartshorne.
