Many thanks to the reader who posted the link below on a recent comment. I have not seen the aftermath of Hurricane Irene on Hatteras Island, but have heard of the destruction of many houses and the loss of much property there.

viewing the airport webcam and this is the first day since Irene that I have seen more than 1 person on the beach. Today I see 4 vehicles and several people on that part of the beach.
ReplyDeleteThe National park service has photos I looked them up a few days after the hit. Thought other concerned parties would do like wise . the devastation is to be expected --development in some areas that can suffer such expensive damage -- is a questionable or a move that should be revisited in a changing world of climate change and rising sea levels
