While visiting
North Carolina’s Outer Banks last week, my wife and I, via the Weather Channel, kept an eye on then-Tropical Storm Ophelia as it sat off
Florida’s coast. At the moment, nearly every island in the Outer Banks is under a hurricane warning as Ophelia has grown to hurricane strength and made her move north; Hatteras Island has been evacuated and visitors ordered off
Ocracoke Island. High winds have begun pushing the waters of
Pamlico Sound onto the islands, causing localized flooding.
Details can be found here.
These photos of the lighthouse on
Ocracoke Island were taken last
Friday, 48 hours before the evacuation order was issued. The weather that morning gave no hint as to what was brewing a couple hundred miles to the south. We left the Outer Banks that afternoon for the two-day drive home to the
Chicago area. Having seen what Katrina had done to
New Orleans left us in no mood to mess with a hurricane.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a mail order brides site. It pretty much covers
mail order brides related stuff.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)
I guess it was just a matter of time before the comment-spamming vermin left their droppings on my site. Unless you're interested in selling everything like music by buying it interest-free or are in the market for mail order brides, disregard these two comments and feel free to leave a legit comment using the word verification method I've just activated.
Peace.
These are lovely pictures you have there! Keep it up!
