Watching a home across the street from mine be demolished this morning. Heartbreaking for so many reasons. There is a lot of hurt to come in Ocracoke. Thanks to so many of you for support and kind words. #doriansucked#ocracoke
Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore) has confirmed that an unoccupied house at 24265 Ocean Drive, Rodanthe, N.C. collapsed this afternoon. This is the second unoccupied house collapse of the day at the Seashore. Read more: https://t.co/ZPUiklQAWA
Unfortunately, this afternoon's high tide is bringing worsening conditions to N.C. 12. As a result, the highway will REMAIN CLOSED from Oregon Inlet to Rodanthe for the rest of the day today into tomorrow. Crews will continue to work to get the road reopened as soon as possible.
Some 'first light' images from the Pea Island Visitor Center, Mirlo/S-Curves, Buxton and North Hatteras Village. NC12 remains CLOSED between Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe, but even in other locations that are passable, there is deep sand and water. Don't drive in it unless necessary.
