N.C. Highway 12 reopened between Rodanthe and Oregon Inlet at 1 p.m. today (Nov. 9), but patches of standing saltwater and sand remain on the roadway and travelers are advised to drive slowly and use caution.
N.C. Highway 12 closed on Sunday between Rodanthe and Oregon Inlet and remained closed over the past two days due to breeched dunes and multiple cycles of ocean overwash.
Ocracoke Island had minimal damage from this wind storm with some village flooding around high tides, dune erosion and some overwash that is now clear on N.C. 12 on the way to the Hatteras Inlet ferry terminal, referred to as the South Dock.
