We fared fine here in Raleigh - my sister-in-law and daughter are driving down to Emerald Isle to check out the house today. They opened up the bridge last night so things must be pretty much OK there. I did see an interview on WRAL-TV news this morning at 6:30 with the Atlantic Beach police chief. The interviewer seemed disappointed that there was no major damage or conditions to report. :-(

The chief of police even said the little bit of water they had was already back in the ocean and sound...

House and pier at Emerald Isle both OK - we were very lucky this time!

Now heading out to the yard here in Raleigh to begin clean-up...

Daughter in No. Raleigh/Wake Forest said theirs was a non-event, too. They lost power for about 2 hours but all was bearable....we used cell phones.

The maps showed Raleigh somewhat out of the immediately affected areas.
