On August 6, around 8 in the evening, in a rented home on Ocean Drive, Emerald Isle, a deck collapsed sending nine members of a family crashing to the floor.
The family was visiting from Davidson and Greenville N.C. and were enjoying ice cream on the deck of the house when they heard it creak and then seconds later it collapsed. Neighbors who shared the duplex called 911.
One woman, the 61 year old grandmother had a broken foot and others were treated for scrapes, bumps and bruises.
This is the second property which is rented out by Bluewater Realty which has had a deck collapse, the previous one being just four miles away which collapsed on the July 4 weekend injuring more than 20 people. In that case the cause of the collapse was corroded nails. This reason for this latest collapse is still being investigated.
