crunch time

Ok, I've decided to evacuate.  If my uninsured car floods I can't afford to replace it and vacation all winter long in the manner to which I've grown accustomed.  Spent the morning securing my propane tank and double checking the yard.  Boats are out of the water and secured in various creeks around the island. 

My lovely island home is as secure as possible; just waiting for Jason to help me board up a few windows.  Heather is staying and she'll be taking photos.  wovv.org is broadcasting on line, and people have been in the studio giving updates.  It's worth a listen. 

Ocracoke is lovely and quiet right now, but there is a sense of anxiety as everyone checks that their property is in order.

Stay safe Jenny! If you evac as far as TX, I've got a spare room. ;-)

thanks Tom! I think TX or New Orleans might be the best place to ride this one out, ironically enough. Turns out I'm staying. See you soon?

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
