Beachfront home collapses due to beach erosion in Florida

An unoccupied beachfront house in Florida has partially collapsed due to beach erosion caused by Hurricane Irma last September.

The St. Johns Sheriff’s Office posted pictures of the home on Facebook Wednesday, shortly after the structure began collapsing. 

No one was injured.

The structure, on a beach battered by Hurrican Irma last year, began collapsing on Wednesday

Large chunks of debris were visible along the beach and a fence will be erected

No one was injured in the collapse, on Florida Northeast Atlantic coast

Sheriff’s officials, along with fire rescue crews and building inspectors, secured the scene. Ponte Vedra Beach is on Florida’s northeast Atlantic coast.

The two-story structure is crumbling on the beach side. 

Large chunks of debris were visible along the beach and a television could be seen inside, still mounted on a wall.

Officials say a fence will be erected to keep people away from the home.

Several homes along the northeast Florida beaches collapsed during Hurricane Irma in September. 

The stretch of coast where the home collapsed was heavily eroded by Hurricane Irma.
