8 27 11 Hurricane Irene Update

Here is the Frisco Rod and Gun Hurricane Irene update for Hatteras Island.
At 6am this morning we finished boarding up the store. Special thanks to Creature, Captain of Sea Creature sport fishing, who was driving by on his way to Hatteras village to check on his boat, and stopped to help us. He reported seeing ocean overwash near Frisco pier.
As the picture below shows, the Pamlico Sound has completely receded, leaving many boats in the mud.
More updates to come as the sound water returns. Everyone stay safe!
