That you didn't lose electricity is a great sign. Looks like the big system is just about to pass by the island. Hope the damage and clean up isn't severe but know the pressure is on to get ready to for the holiday weekend onslought. Will check in as the day goes on.

Promising signs for a quick recovery, I hope. (Although the "secret word" I've just been prompted to type so that I may enter this comment is "docksub." From the look of things online, I don't think conditions will get THAT bad. Yikes!) ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-28328132409027240442010-09-03T08:18:58.289-04:002010-09-03T08:18:58.289-04:00As of 8 a.m. ET, neither links to the Silver Lake ...As of 8 a.m. ET, neither links to the Silver Lake Harbor webcam nor the Ocracoke Airport webcam seem to be operational, which means we're all in the dark about Ocracoke now. I noted yesterday the counter on the airport webcam had logged something like 8,300 views; this morning it's over 11,600. Hope the worst of the storm is behind you by now.

Some men told me they knew they had better get some sleep because they would be using chain saws the next day for hours and needed the strength! I don't know....all I do know is, I had an invalid husband to think about it and the noise at night (yes, I agree 100 percent with Philip, hurricanes are a 1,000 times worst at night than during the daylight hours) has to be the most uncomfortable & frightening noise!<br /><br />I remember I could hear trees falling down around me w/ powerful wind and rain pelting the house, yet I was not able to really see what was going on outside in the harsh elements until the sun came up the next morning. Then, it was all a shock.<br /><br />Oh boy, I hope things won't be too bad on Ocracoke Island once the sun does shine.<br /><br />What a night!
