Just be careful with the seasoning

He better hope they come out the normal way.

I took a case of water and places the bottles around the freezer so if the power did go out the frozen water bottles would help keep the food longer and you can drink them as they thaw out.

wow look at the damage in OBX

Yeah really sucks. Im lucky in that my girlfriend has power so i can just stay there. Do you have a electric or gas water heater? I had to throw some food away last night, but i had a turkey that i was able to save, which i have plans to cook tomorrow if anyone has any good tips.

The tree that is suspended by power lines and that i have to drive under to get out of my neighborhood is still hanging there. Its angled so thats its blocking one lane completely and making it so some taller cars, like suvs and trucks, could hit it when they drive under it. This is a pretty major road too, connecting 2 areas together with neighborhoods and apartments on both sides. Combine that with no street lights at night make for a pretty dangerous situation. I really would have thought getting it taken down would have been a day 1 priority. Its big enough that if it fell on your car while driving you could be killed. Plus it could easily take out a whole new set of powerlines.

Is there ANYTHING better than hearing the AC kick on the first time after an extended power outage?

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.

That really sucks. 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?
