(Manteo, NC-AP) - Officials in Dare County have declared a state of emergency and ordered mandatory evacuations as Tropical Storm Ophelia makes its slow advance on the Carolinas coast.
The evacuation order covers all residents and visitors on Hatteras Island effective at 1:00pm.
Residents are being urged to make final preparations and leave the area during daylight hours since NC Highway 12 is prone to flooding. The road is the only vehicle access south of Oregon Inlet.
Dare County Schools close Tuesday at noon.
