Whole Island is flooded

Hey guys just an update if any of you check this thing. Breaches in the dune line all up and down the island. Not sure about the road in some places due to the amount of sand and water on it. This evening the water that flooded the other side of the sound this morning has come back. 3 to 4 feet middle of the highway in Tri-villages and Avon before dark. Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras flooded now but not to deep for us so far. Rodanthe north has gotten hammered. 5 feet of water on causeway going into Manteo with tide all up through Nags Head and Kitty Hawk. Depths have been reported as deep as 4 feet up there. Good amount of flooding in Currituck as well along the sound. Trees and power lines down in places and propane tanks broke loose everywhere. Highway 64 is closed at Columbia due to flooding. If you are planning on coming this way this week call dare county emergency Management first. They will have the info on wether you will be able to get here or not. Dare county and Currituck county are closed at this time and Dare will not be open to non residents for some time. Assessment will not be able to begin until tomorrow morning when the water recedes and people are able to get to places. Road below Oregon Inlet has been closed to all since early this morning so no one knows what it looks like but it is a sure bet it's a complete mess. Check back in tomorrow and see what the update is.
