storm chasers

Saturday we had hail, waterspouts and double rainbows. It was quite a show from mother nature: rain splashing on creeks sparkling with reflected sunlight, piles of ominous dark clouds capping a bright horizon, storm funnels whistling from ceiling to sound. We stood outside and watched, danger be damned. The skies were way more exciting than anything on tv.

Now the weather is perfect, though less remarkable. Perfect for long walks with friends, perfect for an extra layer and star gazing at night, perfect for casting a line on South Point, perfect for visiting Portsmouth Village. And there you have it: fall is perfect on Ocracoke Island. Cheers!
