How did the Outer Banks fare? I have a friend who used to own a summer home near Nagshead. Great place to vacation.

Parts of the Outer Banks fared extremely well ... I think up around Nags Head just had some wind and rain without ever having hurricane-force winds. From what I can find out Hwy 12 didn't even go underwater and that happens even in strong nor'easters. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel was reporting from Kill Devil Hills, which isn't far from Nags Head, and he never got real bad weather.

The storm never did make landfall and that helped a lot, though there is beach erosion for most of the coastal areas. The area around Morehead City to the more southern of the Outer Banks seems to have taken the brunt of Ophelia though there is some spotty damage all along the coast.
