Hatteras (and the other OB's) tend to get hammered more by Noreasters than they do hurricanes. Wasn't it Fran that caused all the damage just offshore? I remember driving past it MONTHS after it happened and the town it hit the worst (Tar something) had people STILL living in FEMA trailers. That was when the pig waste was floating all over the place - yuck!

lololol.... thats WHY I was stationed there....
I reenlisted in 78 for a guaranteed 4 year tour right behind the lighthouse
They paid me to soif.......
Used to get off the midwatch at about 6:30-7 in the am, walk from our building to the club, check the surf and if it was pumping, paddle on out.... Otherwise go home and go to sleep
Wow the track of this thing has changed drastically. Now I'm even more worried about this storm than I was when it looked like it might hit Florida. My parents live in a very low lying area on Maryland's eastern shore, which is right smack in the middle of the new forecast track. My house was built to withstand stuff like this (or at least the new hurricane codes after Andrew hit FL) .. there's was not. I really hope this thing weakens or better yet just spins off into the ocean.

yeah, week ago it looked like direct hit to FL,
now...I am not sure if NYC is safe

Seriously, MikeW, I will be keeping your folks in my prayers. Lets hope this thing just turns back out to sea.
this is all my mother in law's fault...
every time we have calamity of Isabel proportion,
we call her and ask her for a prayer.
She and her church friends have a direct line to God's ears and have remarkable 75% closing ratio.
We asked her the other day to avert hurricane from Florida...
seems like they overdid it a bit and now it threatens South Jersey
;-(((

MikeW are your folks leaving town? I hope so. This storm *really* has the ability to turn and run right up the Bay, and it will be total devastation if it does. My old home on Kent Island would be *gone*.
Thanks Serge, we'll need all the luck we can get but we're definitely going to do our best to stay safe!
The more I look at it, the more inclined I am to bet that this sucker is going to do what Gloria did.... Eye is gonna go over hatteras and then go straight up, across water and hit Long Island and New England....
No scientific reason, just gut feeling.......
Carrie, stay safe........
My inlaws are up on the eastern shore......... Waiting to here where they are going to hole up at........
Sare, do you have someone down there boarding up your house?
Here are some pictures of houses I took last year in Nag's Head and KDH - amazing they are IN the water already - I can just imagine they'll be completely lost in a large storm. You can see in many places where they've tried to resand the beach, but it just gets erroded within a year or so of regular storms:
I came SO close to buying a full time house there - the storms are the only thing that stopped me.

How far inland are you?
I'm less than 80 miles inland (as the crow flies) due east from the Atlantic (By Delaware Bay)
About 15 miles from the Chesapeake Bay
About 120 mile drive from the Eastern Shore where Ocean City and Assateague Island are (barrier islands and summer resort) on the Atlantic
Riding the Storm out
Waiting for the fall out

I don't have a house down there peaches... used to live there, not anymore...
Have a condo in Fort Myers Fl....
Yeppirs the Nags Heads houses have been problems for years. I have an old National Geographic (has to be 20 years old now) showing the houses in the water.....
Down on Hatteras, they aren't allowed to build houses beyond the dune lines... protects them a little bit....
If I were to get a house down there, it would be in Buxton (widest point of Hatteras Island) and it would NOT be on the beach.....
While I would love to own a beach house, I would hate to have to pay the insurance premiums and rebuild it every 10 years or so.....
I have been talking to friends on the island..... some natives, some not....
I offered up a place to stay...but I got the answer I knew I would.... "I aint letting no storm chase me out of here"....
They have survived many before, I hope they survive this one because I think Hatteras is gonna get it dead on and then the storm is gonna flow right up the northern current streams and miss most of the rest of the coast until Long Island (reminds me I have to call my brother, he is still in Levittown, where we grew up)....
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.
Originally posted by ulfie@Sep 15 2003, 08:01 PM Peaches, one day I'll take you to my secret place in NC. No lines, awesome beaches, 45 minutes from all that crap if you want it, etc.
You described it to me in FL - I'm ready to go!! We should probably wait until after the storm clears, though.
After looking at this today, I have to revise what I said yesterday. I now think it will probably miss Hatteras at this point (skirt it closely, but not a direct hit)... It has started a much more marked turn to the North..... Next stop Long Island....
Although we could still get lucky if it does what most of them have historically done.....

Maybe so. The average error in a 3 day forecast is about 250 miles. By tomorrow this time the average error to landfall will be under 150 miles.
Any small deviation in the path willl change the landfall location greatly. Just 10 degrees to the right and it will be in Jersey.

(Manteo, North Carolina-AP) -- Residents of some areas of North Carolina's Outer Banks have been told to leave their homes before noon.
Officials in Dare County have issued a mandatory evacuation order. Authorities say residents and visitors on Hatteras Island must make final preparations to leave as Hurricane Isabel gets closer.
All residents of Ocracoke (OHK'-rah-kohk) Island were ordered to begin evacuating yesterday.
Roads along the southern beaches could begin to feel the effect of Hurricane Isabel as early as today, with ocean overwash expected.
Hmmm... Just was watching CNN... Now the National Weather folks have moved landfall to Cape Fear (Just south of Hatteras).... But when I look at the track map, I still see it ending up going more Northward....
Wonder whta they know that I don't knwo... Other than all that science and physics stuff.......
Hurricane Isabel is drifting to the northwest and is expected to make landfall somewhere along the North Carolina coast on Thursday.
Look for wind and rain to pick up across southern New England and the mid-Atlantic through the day on Thursday. In fact, wind gusts could easily gust as high as 50-60 mph in Washington, D.C. by Thursday night and Friday morning.
Heavy rain will be a major issue as well. 2-4 inches could easily fall by late Friday in New York, while as much as 10 inches of rain could fall in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Flash flood watches are in effect from the Carolinas to Pennsylvania.
Sorry sarettah but Riding the Storm out is about a full moon night in a rocky mountain winter but ......
The wind outside is frightening,
but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city.
It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give.
And I'm not missing a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range
Ridin' the storm out
Schools and other things have already been closed here in Maryland

Damn nitpickers.........
Then hows about this:
Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.
You are like a hurricane

where the feeling stays.
