We just came in from off the beach access in KDH. There's virtually no rain and the wind isn't blowing any harder than it does in the winter.

still drizzle in New Bern.. I figured the news would hype this one up since it is the first and there don't seem to be many big stories breaking now..

OMG this assignment sucks.
I don't like how NC Emergency Management works and it's pretty boring right now.
I'm on damn night shift.

Woke up to some nice rain bands in SE Halifax County, but nothing special here. Sure can use the rain though.

Took some of the beach at the Clark St. access in KDH a few minutes ago. Only got one north facing shot cause the wind is still a bit sporty on the beach it self





Couple more in my gallery, plus a couple I took from my folks' house in Rodanthe on Wednesday.

" Evacuation Order Lifted for Portions of Dare County Today at 12:00 p.m. A preliminary damage assessment by Dare County Emergency Management indicates that conditions following Hurricane Earl will allow re-entry at this time to the northern and mainland portions of Dare County. Effective 12:00 p.m Friday, September 3, the mandatory evacuation order will be lifted for areas north of Oregon Inlet including the Towns of Duck, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk, Manteo, Nags Head, Southern Shores and the unincorporated areas of Dare County north of Oregon Inlet. The Town of Duck is experiencing water on the road in the typical areas that would occur during any storm with heavy rains. The area in southern Duck at the intersection of NC 12 (Duck Road) and the Tuckahoe subdivision is still experiencing some flooding. Although it is passable, caution, patience, and extra time should be allocated when returning to Duck and Corolla. The mandatory evacuation order for Hatteras Island remains in effect due to sand and standing water on NC Highway 12. Villages affected by the continuation of this evacuation order include Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco, and Hatteras. Crews from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) are working to clear the roadway. An advisory will be issued when conditions safely allow the evacuation order for Hatteras Island to be lifted. The bridges leading to Dare County are open and no re-entry pass is required. Motorists should be careful of standing rain water which may be on streets throughout the area. Proceed with caution as it is difficult to determine the water’s depth and can cause brake failure, loss of control, or vehicle flooding. Visitors planning travel to Dare County should first consult with their accommodations provider to confirm lodging reservations."

It's the one on the causeway. There were also some REALLY leaning power poles by whalebone tackle.

This has been a boring season so far in terms of the CONUS. I think this season is like 95 when there was a good amount of storms but most went out to sea.

9/9/2010 2:56:26 PM

Yeah, it has been fairly quiet overall of the US, but we've been hit hard with the remnants of two systems here in Oklahoma (Alex and Hermine). Nearly 5 inches of rain fell from Alex's remnant low, causing extensive flooding across SW OK and the OKC metro area.

This go around, we luckily dodged the heaviest of the rain that we were anticipating (5-6"), but a few cities in the eastern and southeastern portion of our DMA received damage from a few EF-0 and EF-1 spin-up tornadoes. It was wild watching that live video out of the Dallas metro of that tornado skipping through the west side of town.

Folks here were just happy they didn't see a repeat of Erin in 2007. Officially dubbed by the Norman NWS as "The Land-o-cane"

We wrapped up here?

10/6/2010 10:15:45 PM

Almost.

10/6/2010 10:20:26 PM
