Hurricane Irene update

Dare and Currituck Counties have issued evacuation orders effective this morning. All the rental guests should be off the OBX by late tonight. Brindley Beach is securing the homes in advance of the arrival of Irene. This process will take us to Saturday morning.

Latest on Irene

Just a few minutes ago Dare County announced a manadory evacuation as of 8am tomorrow  Thursday August 25. This means guests will be leaving early and the incoming guests will most likely arrive on Monday. Currituck County has not issued an evacuation as of this time.
Personally, i do not think this will be a big event on the northern OBX, but our friends in Hatteras will get the most of this storm. Our hope is for the storm to take a track east of the OBX, the worst event would be for the eastern part of the storm to run up the sound with winds from the south pushing all that water against the sound side of the island. Stay in touch here for the latest.

OBX earthquake

Just a few minutes ago we experienced the shock and shake from the earthquake. Holy Smokes, what else can they throw at us?!!
There is no damage but we shook for a long 20 seconds

Earthquake Felt in the Outer Banks

YES, we felt the 6.0 earthquake here on the OBX just a few minutes ago

Irene Moving Towards OBX

The latest track has Irene moving our way on Sunday. Wish us luck in securing 500 homes in 20 hours and keeping everyone safe.

End of Summer in the Outer Banks

The weather has been great this summer, that is if you want your grass to be dry and brown. I do no think it has rained two times this summer. The guests have enjoyed this. All this will change next week when it is most likely Hurrican Irene will visit us. It is always interesting to wait for the arrival of a storm and the news as to where it is going and when it will get there. We watch the news, listen to local authorities and draw our own conclusions from experience and reading weather maps. What ever happens at least will get some much needed rain. And maybe a half day off of work to sleep.
