Outer Banks of N.C. Being Evacuated

[CallMeKate]

I'm not sure if we have any members living in the Hatteras/Outer Banks area... but if so, be careful. Erin's still very strong and the threat appears to be flooding/high surf/rip currents but not a direct hit.

My daughter is kind of close but inland.

Is that where Lara is?

Is that where Lara is?

The outer Banks, NC is in North Carolina... off the coast.

According to aviation weather, it appears there’s no threat at this time along the east coast. High Surf is a threat to the OBX area. I would also expect rip tides as a possibility.

Thank you Jules.
I'm on Emerald Isle which some call the Southern Outer Banks and some call it the Crystal Coast.
I'm visiting my daughter in Asheville right now and just trying to figure out the best time to leave.

Stay safe @Lara

 

[hearlady]

The surfers are not gonna want to evacuate.

Stay where you are, Lara, if you can, wait
for the return of better weather.

I hope that all of you who are in the path
of the storm, stay safe.

We are warned that it will hit here after the
weekend, but it will just be high winds and
rain.

Thank you, Mike. My kids are all helping to prepare my house for the Hurricane and giving me shelter in Asheville. My house is newly and totally rebuilt on one of the highest elevations on this barrier island and passed all inspections by the state so I'm sure it will be okay.

If not, my insurance payments are up to date and my son-in-law is a contractor. He and my daughter are staying on the island so I'm concerned about them but this isn't their first time.

My neighbor called me and said everyone around has left except my renters. Some people get a thrill experiencing a hurricane. She said they eat out alot and there's no waiting in line at the restaurants lol.

I wish you the best. Asheville is a nice place to weather the storm despite it's recent flooding. I envy your high elevation. When we were thinking of retiring on the Outer Banks I thought all those rooftop decks were a great idea. They could work elsewhere for mountain views, etc.
I hope your family stays safe.

AREA, THESE DANG THINGS ARE NOTHING TO FOOL WITH....STAY SAFE....

Sounds like your property will be ok @Lara , thanks for the update ,,,hope you'll keep in touch.

Our weather has been good. Erin has stayed away but left a nice breeze for us. A little bit of rain would be nice but no complaints. DD on coast said she has just been breezy too. We're low eighties recently which feels good.

We left up there and came down to Myrtle Beach till Sat to visit with DW family. Nothing much happening here. Hopefully your place fairs well... it sounds like its in good hands...

DH and I were to be in Wrightsville Beach right now.

We changed our plans and are in Asheville instead.

We had lots of rain yesterday and during the night from the outer band up here.
