Ah, OK - I thought you still had a place there.
I heard they evacuated Okracoke.
It's been a couple of years since we were that far south, but talked to some who had ridden a recent one through and said their power was out for 2 weeks - not fun!
I was looking up in the Duck area because when I first started looking, it was less inhabited. I love the homes on Pea Island, but not having a million or so sitting around.....
The old homes on Nag's Head are just SO cool, IMHO. I love the architecture - especially when they've added on through the years, lol!
Buxton is a cool place also. The only thing I hate about the OB are the crowds. I ONLY go during Off Season after hearing nightmares about the traffic, waits for the grocery stores, restaurants etc.
But I love it and missed going this year
