The Nor'Easter I was in on the Outer Banks three Septembers ago was bad enough for me. Those oceanfront vacation homes are wonderful until the bad weather hits. We were just S. of the house that Nights in Rodanthe was filmed in. The storm (front and back) hit both times at high tide and the bridge to the mainland was closed. They told us that we might have to evacuate. To where? That little strip of land is only a few blocks wide.
Those storms are rough and scary. Please everyone stay safe.
