NC Outer Banks: Hatteras Island Storm
" A rather unremarkable coastal storm has caused a remarkable amount of damage on Hatteras Island.
The storm system formed on Saturday night, Oct. 18, along the remnants of a cold front that dumped almost an inch of rain on the island. As the storm deepened, the pressure gradient between the low to the east and a high pressure system to the north sent the winds to gale force along the coast and had huge waves crashing onto north facing beaches.
At least one oceanfront house in northern Rodanthe was destroyed, and Highway 12 was closed to traffic off and on both Sunday and Monday during the high tide.
The house that was destroyed was a three-story, five-bedroom rental cottage on Sea Haven Drive, built just five years ago and valued at $942,400 by Dare County. "
