Glad the tree is taken care. Hope you all start seeing some improvements soon. We were hit too badly here. Some wind damage is all, but the Outer Banks (esp Hatteras Island) got hit hard. There are 3 new inlets. They are filling in two of them within the next month and redoing the road, and the 3rd is getting a temporary bridge until that one can be refilled in. That road is the only way on or off the island other than by ferry and the ferry only runs to another island that is only accessible by ferry. Also without the road they can't even start to fix the electric coming onto the island. Both Hatteras Island and Ocrakoke Island are being fully powered by generators. Tomorrow (Sunday) they will be starting to allow residents back onto Hatteras Island, but only to the southern most towns of Hatteras Village, Buxton, and Frisco. The northern towns (Avon, Waves, Salvo, and Rodanthe) still remain under a mandatory evacuation. Ocrakoke Island started allowing residents back earlier in the week.
