I can't believe the evacuation talk. This will be like a Nor'easter.

In terms of the NC Outer Banks, the beaches there are so flipping
miserable and dangerous with riptides on a calm day, and given that so many numbnuts flock there now that school's in session in NC, the loss of life from dumbassery would be enormous. This isn't a "who's toughest?" issue, it's a "anybody here with a brain?" issue. DonHo's on Topsail so they may get measurable surf. I heard today the Ocracoke Ferry was packed and waitlist building up. ** Edited by PhotoHokieNC at 8/18/2025, 5:17:16 PM

Yea, the surf will be rough, but evacuations? Maybe there is another reason
NC license plates are emblazoned with "First in Flight". =p

portions of the main (read ONLY) road will probably wash out
They just don't want folks stranded for what could be several days on a small chunk of barrier island with limited resources.

Outer Banks roads get flooded and impassable and sometimes a whole breach
Occurs, so you can get stuck with few options to go north or south. Not so much life threatening as an inconvenient PITA. On Topsail you worry more about inland flooding closing roads and no access for a while. That usually only happens with rain dumped from a landfall. I’ll be mowing grass and starting plants for community garden. My surfer-dude days are over, (but Wimmins still want me.) Just don’t Need to be frolicking in the ocean for a day or two. ** Edited by DonHo-kieHi at 8/18/2025, 10:41:32 PM
