Cape Hatteras Schools Out Early Due to Winds
Posted in OBX Sports Reports | By Dawn |
Cape Hatteras High & Elementary Schools let out around 11:30 this morning trying to beat possible sound flooding as a result of strong NW winds today. Winds are gusting between 30 & 40 mph, and they are expected to reach speeds of 50 mph later this afternoon. As of the time of this post, 2:00 pm, sounds waters are starting to come up over HWY 12 in Frisco. I’m not sure about the other villages, but I would imagine parts of Hatteras, Buxton, Avon, and the Rodanthe area are experiencing similar flooding. The winds are expected to persist throughout tomorrow and clearing up for a sunny day by Wednesday.

Update as of 2:15: Since I wrote the post 15 minutes ago, water has fully covered the road in parts of Frisco. As of now, the water depth on the road is only a couple of inches, and high tide is at 2:35 pm.
