Awaiting Word that We Can Return...

 ...to see what damage we sustained.  We were hoping to leave around 5 am this morning, however we were told that the roads are not opened yet.



Last week - THIS is what we were doing



Unfortunately, because Irene was destined to hit New York, coverage - even while the hurricane was pounding the Carolina Outer Banks - was focused on what the New Yorkers were doing for preparation, and NOT what was happening to our Outer Banks. 

At this point, we don't have any idea what the damage to our marina and neighborhood is.  All we've heard is that there was serious flooding in the area.  Whether that was in Pirate's Cove or not - we do not yet know.

For the moment - we are on standby - waiting to head over.
