We have a vacation/rental house on Ocracoke Island and we were able to call our neighbors early this Saturday morning. Some of the power has been restored to the Island and there are two 90,000 pound generators being brought online to help keep the power on. Not all of the vacationers have been forced to leave so it looks like the authorities are working furiously to keep the summer season going.

Thanks for your OP, mahatmakanejeeves. Enjoy your weekend!
