3pm Update...added this photo from webcam...unreal. That is the Atlantic Ocean rushing down NC 12 on the Hatteras Island.
Over 24 hours of 30-40mph winds have been hitting the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The area is home to Rodanthe and Avon and is basically my home away from home (not this year but that is another story). The surf has been driven over the dunes and onto the thin ribbon of road know as North Carolina 12. With every successive high tide, more flooding is being reported. Expect the battering to continue well into tomorrow as the deepening storm moves across the banks. A Hurricane Hunter aircraft is set to investigate the system today as winds are pushing 65mph just offshore. Here is a link on the story

and another link to an awesome web cam in Roadanthe at the S-Curves, you can see the flooding on Highway 12. http://www.darenc.com/webcam/mirlo.php
I stayed just feet from where this camera is located. There is also a new movie coming on this weekend by the way called Nights in Rodanthe...yes it is the same place.
