The future of Ocracoke Lighthouse, the second-oldest operating lighthouse in the United States, is in peril due to rising tides and damage done to the structure during the annual storm season.
The lighthouse opened in 1823 to help guide ships through the tricky waters of the Ocracoke Inlet off the coast of North Carolina.
The entire Ocracoke Light Station sits just 2 feet above sea level, and officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that number will reach zero in the next two decades.

The iconic white lighthouse, which was battered by Hurricanes Matthew, Florence, and Dorian, currently sits just two feet above sea level with the water table just inches below the surface.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, water levels on North Carolina s remote Ocracoke Island have risen nine inches since 1977 and could rise another two feet in the next 30 years. ....
