This was my first Hurricane documentation in over 2
years and I was a bit nervous staying on a barrier
island for a Cat-4 hurricane that was threatening to
make a direct hit. Luckily for the residents of the
outer banks Hurricane Earl's center missed by about
90 miles and the worst winds stayed offshore. The
big story for Cape Hatteras was the Pamlico sound
rising and flooding the island. Most homes on the
outer banks are on stilts so the had no issues but
some of the businesses did get flooded, but this is
nothing new for them. They just clean up and move
on. I guess this is a small price to pay for living
at such a beautiful place. |

It was
an honor to work with The Weather Channel and to
actually chase with Jim Cantore. We ended up seeing
a top wind gusts of 78mph and some moderate flooding
at our location. Jim was able to broadcast to his
audience "Live" during the strongest winds of Earl
and share with the world what is was like out there.
I hope this leads to many more partnerships with TWC
and the NBC affiliates. |
