We were due to head to Ocean Isle where the hurricane made landfall tomorrow. Yesterday that looked impossible but the town just announced they are opening to the public tomorrow. So there’s still a lot of damage and clean up to do but power was restored and I think they are desperate for visitors to return.
It seems like damage in the Northeast is more severe than the NC coast which is interesting to me. Usually the storm fizzles out as it goes along but that didn’t seem to be the case here damage- wise. We are a few hours inland from coast and got nothing- not one drop of rain or wind.
