One fatality attributed to the storm in NC thus far. highest recorded windspeed has been 115 at the Cedar Island ferry landing north of Lejeune. multiple piers damaged, most notably Atlantic Beach, half gone reportedly.
When I lived in NC, Emerald Isle was my beach. I loved the ferry to Bear Island(wonderful state park)... a great area. Have not been back there for a long time and of course wonder how it is faring.
