8:30 PM

Rain has been falling steadily since late this afternoon...but the wind speed, though increasing, is only about 10-15 mph.

Many thanks to all of our readers who have sent wishes for our safety. Unfortunately I have not had the energy to answer questions. Please be assured that all is well as I write. Of course, we are expecting hurricane force winds and high tides sometime tomorrow. I will keep you posted as I am able.

    I almost feel like I'm there! Raining and windy inland in Durham also! Very exciting and I hope it doesn't get scary on the island.

    You bet'cha, Philip!!! Get some rest tonight. The unofficial mayor of Ocracoke Island needs his shut eye.

    Thanks for all you do!

    Those who are sincerely concerned for your welfare would not have been expecting any answers. Grateful for the great job you have done keeping us aware, but I don't imagine the power can last much longer- so we'll hear from you...when we hear from you.
