By the way do you know how your parents cottage did in the storm? Is it still there? Slingin Sammy 33 09-01-2011, 09:03 AM Turned out really well...and I feel okay, so no food poisoning. Thanks!Good to hear. If you got sick I was going to give her a bunch of $hit.....that being said I would've eaten the steaks too :) Chico23231 09-01-2011, 09:42 AM Wow that really sucks. Do you have a generator? By the way do you know how your parents cottage did in the storm? Is it still there? no generator, i can borrower someone today, but hopefully will be back on. We've seen satallite images...its in an area currently submerged in water. its there though...the deck appears to be detached and angled away. Cant tell the water depth but appears to be a couple feet as of 2 days ago. Expecting flood damage. The enterance to Rodanthe has a river between the sound and the ocean so they're cut off. You can tell alot of house sound side are gone and several empty lots along the ocean. Sand dune that pads the ocean and HWY 12 and houses is obviously gone everywhere. National Guard has been helicoptering supplies in. Heard National Guard is not letting anyone onto Hatteras Island for at least a month while they get the Highway 12 up and ready. firstdown 09-01-2011, 01:22 PM no generator, i can borrower someone today, but hopefully will be back on.

I knew that the island was closed and there was a extensive damage but I was holding out hope that you guys got lucky. Did they have any structure on the ground level or was everything raised?

Lotus 09-01-2011, 05:09 PM no power still That sucks, dude. Sorry. Slingin Sammy 33 09-01-2011, 05:30 PM raisedI'm very sorry to hear about your family's place in the OBX. Hang in there.
