The Island Inn says the water rose 6" in 15 minutes. At this rate in 20 more the first floor will be flooded. Dark now, praying for everyone's safety.

Chris , we are still waiting the wind shift which will stack water in the east side of the Pamlico Southside of hatteras and ocracoke.
The Oregon Inlet bridge info was something the wife got off facebook from Oregon Inlet Idiots.
I really have a hard time believing the temp bridge at new inlet is fairing well. We went for a ride around 5pm and our northern sounds were dry. That water is somewhere

I live in Greenville,and we have been ok this time. However from what I have seen on TV and talking to some friends,the Outer Banks from around Hatteras North did not fair as well.I hope that it stays off the coast and does not make landfall any where,but I know that is unlikely.
Look to the past to learn;look forward to live.

I passed you then not that long ago, haha
Seen some pics from Frisco/Buxton where it was sucked up and the fear down there is the NW winds and all that water.
Rodanthe seems to be getting the worse right now, but there is a breach in between Frisco and Hatteras, don't believe it cut through though, yet...

Catch any Drum while you were down ? The week before they handed out a bunch of citations from Avalon pier to O/I.
I was on trout and good flounder last weekend.
All idea this storm will push some stripers down.

Best part was I had the whole damn place to myself for hours during the meter shower and a good bite

Nice fish. I couldn't get out the inlet I had 7 men aboard. To many bodies to cross the sandbar in the event of an emergency. Plus it was the beginnings of a bachelor party

Hope everyone stays safe over the next couple of days, I visit Ocean Isle beach every year for the last couple of years, so far I do not think that they received any damage there, but further north it seems to be a different story. and where I use to live and work in Pennsylvania, they are expecting severe flooding again with a possible mix of snow and rain.

Sandy is getting ready to give obx a good douche. Already taking water from ocean side and high tide is 2 hours away yet. Then the wind is gonna switch and all that water has no where to go. Looking at possibly the same or worse flooding as Irene. This ain't pretty. Gonna go for a ride here in a bit , I'll try and get some pics

Water on Duck Road in Southern Shores. No Ocean overwash. Soundwater should be coming back in over the next few hours.
Soundwater coming back in slowly in Duck, rainwater on the road in a few areas. Dunes are taking a beating, and the possibility of loss of houses, no count on how many at this time.
The Bonner Bridge/Oregon Inlet has railing damage, NC DOT will be inspecting as soon as it is safe, but it appears this is the only damage at this time
The Temporary Bridge at Pea Island has no damage at this time, the roadways to the north & south have lost asphalt and has ocean overwash.
