The National Guard has been here since the day after the storm hit. They have been helping out with supplies, food, water and a bit of order if needed. Thankfully everyone has been helpful with the clean up effort. Here the Guard is filling up the trucks the day after we got a new load of diesel and unleaded gas.
I know a lot of our customers were interested if the Frisco Pier was in worse shape then before Hurricane Irene. I have some Photgraphs of the pier as of this morning so you can make the call.
Thank You for your posts.
We are doing well down on the southern end of Hatteras Island. Here at the Frisco Rod and Gun we just had internet and cell service hooked back up. Avon to Rodanthe took the worst hit. Salvo, Waves, Rodanthe by far has the most damage by sound side flood waters, up to 10 feet in places. We have multiple cuts in hwy 12 at Mirlo Beach and just north a little bit in Pea Island. Two of them are considered inlets and the other ones are just washed out holding water. We have a fuel truck that has just fill us back up with regular unleaded and diesel. We have a grocery truck coming down sometime on Friday and UPS and the USPS service is running again. Thank you to all of our customers and everyone who has been thinking of us. Please keep the Salvo,Waves, Rodanthe and Avon residents in your prayers. They have a long road ahead of them to get back to a normal way of life. Any help for those residents would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
Below are photos of the Frisco Pier on Hatteras Island. The pier is taking a beating but appears to be about the same as before Hurricane Irene. At 3pm, the time of the photo, there was minor ocean overwash.
This photo shows the effects of Hurricane Irene on what is left of the Frisco Pier on Hatteras Island. We will post more photos and updates as we can. Thank you to Christinia Hicks for this photo!
