Best summary of #OBX impacts from Hurricane Erin here 👇 youtu.be/RoxFkNtK_Ao?t=145 Large swells + long period = major dune and shoreline impact Don't remember another hurricane like this, on this path. Surfers might love it but oceanfront owners and NC DOT about to hate it. Wouldn't surprise me to see N Hatteras village, N Buxton, Ocean View Dr in Avon, and Mirlo area in Rodanthe with water all the way across the road - all at once. For areas with no dune left (parts of Rodanthe, Nags Head, KDH, Kitty Hawk, Avon, Buxton) oceanfront homeowners should be prepping now, especially ground floor game rooms/etc. Even areas in Corolla with beaches that have seen significant erosion might see dunes being cut in half. I expect the news to sensationalize a couple of homes in Rodanthe that are already out in the ocean as they collapse, but that's not the real story here. We hold our breath during nor'easters and king tide+storm cycles because of potential to erode the beach and wipe out Hwy 12. This storm could create entirely new inlets. If this track and this prediction holds it could be unprecedented relentless wave energy for days - and I've been here a long time. It's already pounding the shoreline in Buxton. Not a good sign.
