Hurricane Irene def did a number on the outer banks. We couldn't get a hold of anyone in Duck and nobody in the surrounding OBX area could get in. It was literally shut down because of the distruction from Irene. No in, no out. After hearing word from a neighbor in Kilmarlic that there was a tree on top of our house, my dad made the executive decision that he had to go down and check on the houses. It was Sunday at noon (first day back for us teachers was the next day), we (Dad, Kim & BIL) drove down to OBX knowing we'd have to come back the same day. We were shocked (but yet not at all) at the sights we found at the sound. But first, let me give you a before & then an after:
 |
| The gazebo where Kim and Brett got married is no more |
And at those in Duck:
 |
| Sunset Grille Pier/Dock |
 |
| Sunset outdoor bar. |
Luckily, the house in Duck was fine - no damage & still have power. Still lots of clean up at Kilmarlic from where the water came/tree fell/debris & don't have power. Could be out for weeks...Depending on if we get power back this week, my dad asked me to go down this weekend to continue to help him clean up.
