Yeah, it's best to keep a sense of humor when those things are coming around.  No sense in being sensitive to everything or you'll ruin a perfectly good hurricane.

Keep us posted on your adventure!  Oh, have you asked Nadine what you should be doing and what you should be stocking up on?

Being originally from south Florida, I am an old pro when it comes to hurricanes!

Weather Channel alert just came across my phone saying thousands are now without power in the Outer Banks.

I don't know if the cam platform is lit at night, (I just discovered the camera) but the sound of the wind is deafening!
(Nice daytime view)
Wonder if it will ride out the storm?

Below are two photos.
One of the platforms location, in relation to the N.C. coast.
The other is the platform where the camera is mounted.

This ocean cam is affixed to the Frying Pan Tower, 34 miles off the coast of Cape Fear, North Carolina. The tower was built in the 1960s to warn ships of the shallow waters nearby.

Though GPS navigation technology means this tower is no longer used for its original purpose, it's an important ecosystem for marine wildlife (check out the underwater shark cam to see what we mean) and provides a beautiful view of the sun rising and setting over the Atlantic Ocean.

Rain and wind.  Expected surge of 9 feet up the Neuse river beside me. Seems that 30 foot waves are hitting Cape Lookout
