Southern Shores Town offices will remain closed tomorrow, and trash and recycling will be picked up on Friday, according to an announcement issued this morning by the Town.
THERE WILL BE NO TRASH PICKUP TOMORROW, and the Town’s plan to collect trash and recycling on Friday is subject to change. The Beacon will notify you if the Town reschedules the collection.
We should have mentioned earlier that although the Town does not plow secondary roads, Town Public Works crews are clearing some roads for essential services. Please use extra caution in those areas.
FOURTH HOUSE COLLAPSES; BUXTON OCEANFRONT IS CLOSED
While we were writing our earlier post today, another unoccupied oceanfront house in Buxton apparently was collapsing into ocean, according to The Coastland Times, which reported the event occurred around 9 a.m.
Since Saturday, four houses in Buxton have fallen into the ocean, and the entire coastline of the small village on Hatteras Island is now closed to the public, according to The Coastland Times.
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore advises people to stay away from the collapse sites and the surrounding beach area because of potentially hazardous debris.
