The aftermath of Hurricane Dorian

Hurricane Dorian as it pulverizes the Outer Banks

We have survived the deadly Hurricane Dorian. We were lucky in NOT receiving any damages done by Hurricane Dorian. The only thing that happened was a few shingles flew away but that is getting fixed. Unfortunately some of us here on the Outer Banks have lost everything. People here on the Outer Banks, Hatteras Island, Ocracoke Island, and the Bahamas lost everything from this storm. Please keep these people in your thoughts and in your hearts. There is a bunch of places to where you can donate money or your time to help these people out. Every little bit helps.

Re-entry for all visitors will be allowed today Sunday, September 8 at 4 pm. Please note that some streets and neighborhoods are marked for no entry. There are still places that have no power. Power poles and trees are still down in some areas. So please drive with caution if you are a visitor of the Outer Banks. Please be respectfully to the locals, we have been threw a lot and some of us have been without power since Thursday. We do welcome all visitors with open arms. The red flags are still flying due to high Rip currents. These red flags mean NO SWIMMING. The town will let us know when it is safe to enter the water.

We want to thank all the workers that have worked hard to get us back up and running again. Thank you to Dominion Power, Spectrum, FEMA, Dare County Emergency Team, all volunteer’s that came from all over, and to the first responders team, and the many other’s we have helped us threw this devastating event.
