Holden Beach is all on the Island. Just easier to explain where it is instead of trying to give directions from Supply or Shallotte.

Here's a very recent pic from Hatteras Island, taken not even an hour ago, just north of Rodanthe, at probably the weakest, most storm damage-prone area on the entire Outer Banks. NCDOT has been hard at work, Highway 12 remains passable and open to emergency vehicles. Pavement appears unbroken beneath the plowed sand. Dune line looks heavily eroded, with one blowout allowing overwash. All in all, not bad.

Keep in mind the heaviest rainfall is project to start Saturday afternoon. Landfall (Half as of writing this) is just the appetizer with this system... and again, a lot of areas that are going to be affected were drenched before this storm even formed (Wind is irrelevant with the $$$ billions this storm will cause).
