Raging nor'easter has ripped apart NC's Outer Banks highway, state crews say

Fierce winds and large breaking waves have ripped up a large section of North Carolina’s famous coastal highway N.C. 12, according to the N.C. Department of Transportation. The damaged section is part of a 14-mile stretch that was closed Monday from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Rodanthe. “N.C. 12 has sustained (around) 800 feet of pavement damage at the Pea Island Visitor Center,” the DOT reported Wednesday morning. “In total, 1,800 feet of protective dunes have now been lost at the visitor center, as continuous waves have pounded the dune and undermined N.C. 12. Also in the area of the road closure, significant blown sand is present in the canal zone.” The damage comes just over two weeks after the state repaired a 500-foot section of N.C. 12 that was torn apart during a storm in late September. The highway reopened Oct. 3, only to be closed Oct. 19 for the latest nor’easter. The storm has lingered nearly a week off North Carolina, creating prolonged impact on the Outer Banks. “Substantial” beach erosion has been reported from Nags Head to Buxton, sides streets have flooded in Rodanthe, and ocean water seeped through dunes between Hatteras Village and Frisco, leaving 4

Miles of busy coastal highway closed due to worsening storm off NC's Outer Banks

A 14-mile stretch of North Carolina’s popular Outer Banks highway has been closed due to waves crashing through dunes and washing over the pavement, the N.C. Department of Transportation says. It began around 6:45 p.m. Monday, after road crews spent days battling wind and surf associated with a nor’easter. “N.C. 12 is currently closed from the Marc Basnight Bridge to Rodanthe, due to impacts from the nor’easter. Significant dune erosion and continued overwash at the Pea Island Visitor Center have made travel conditions unsafe on the highway,” NCDOT wrote in an Oct. 19 social media post. “Don’t drive through N.C. 12 in this area or drive around the road closure signs. It’s not worth risking your life.” The highway remains open on Ocracoke Island, officials said. An inspection on Tuesday morning revealed pavement has not been damaged, but “about 1,000 feet of protective dunes ” were lost overnight, NC DOT officials said. Crews are working to rebuild the breached dunes. Forecasters are calling the nor’easter “a long duration event,” that will impact the coast most of this week. It is located “a few hundred miles” off the state’s coast, and is expected to move away from the eastern United States

Viral video shows waves crashing over cars on frightening ferry ride amid nor'easter

A massive nor’easter is currently pounding the North Carolina coast with intense winds, flooding and waves up to 14 feet. The National Weather Service warns this could be a long-duration event that lasts well into this week, with a State of Emergency declared for the Outer Banks. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for visitors to Hatteras Island off the North Carolina coast. Knowing that a three-hour ferry would face cancellation due to the extreme conditions, Megan Lawing and her family packed up early Saturday morning. Hoping to beat the brunt of the storm and return home in time for her two young boys’ baseball games this week, they headed straight for the ferry. Arriving around 8:30 a.m., Lawing joined a long line of motorists attempting to leave before the weather shut down the ferry. After a four-hour wait, her family finally boarded the last ferry at 12:30 p.m., securing the very front row. Behind them, countless vehicles were turned away to head back as the storm intensified. What she and her family saw next turned into a viral video on social media. “The first 10 minutes, it was like just some like overspray. We were like, ‘Oh wow, this has

Nor’easter remains on track for long-duration coastal impacts

Eastern North Carolina’s cold front has pushed well offshore this afternoon, bringing a surge of colder air and gusty northerly winds behind it. I have high confidence that a strong coastal low will develop into a nor’easter well off our coast through the rest of the weekend into early-to-mid next week, bringing strong winds, high waves, coastal flooding, and extremely dangerous marine conditions.
