Hurricane Erin Bulletin 5 Updates:

Tropical storm force winds expected by this evening (Aug. 20) and lasting through Thursday (Aug. 21).

A Mandatory Evacuation remains in effect for all of Hatteras Island (Zone A). If you’re still on the island, evacuate immediately—the window to leave safely is closing as flooding and overwash worsen on NC Hwy 12. After tonight’s 6 p.m. high tide, be prepared to shelter in place.

Double red flags are posted countywide—ocean entry is prohibited. Violators face criminal charges.

This will be a long-duration event with life-threatening conditions. Impacts expected through Friday. Stay alert, stay safe, and follow official updates.

I pray that this pic will remain the same for the “after pics”. I pray that none of these houses get washed away.

I do hope that anyone staying knows that they are in imminent danger and no emergency services can prevent what may happen. You can't protect your property.
