"Once Upon A Time"

As most folks are aware just about the entire east coast was effected by the recent north easterner caused by Ida our 9th named storm for the season. Here on the shores of the OBX was a mixture of flooding in Kitty Hawk to a couple of homes falling into the Atlantic Ocean in Nags Head and Highway 12 disappearing along with what was left of the dune lines in Rodanthe. Above is the famous movie house "Nights in Rodanthe" still standing but looking very lonely as the erosion continues to eat up the very valuable real estate that remains. Mother nature wins the battle again as DOT was very busy building a temporary dune road for 4 x 4 passage only, but the war still goes on as man continues to fight the elements. Not all is lost the surf break looks to still be in tact but parking is going to be a major problem in the months ahead.
