Sorry to have not been posting. Friday morning a huge storm surge hit Ocracoke village from the sound side as Hurricane Dorian connected with the island.
We are trying to get home.
Our news is that our house got water inside it as did our garage/guest house.
Water is now back on but there is no electricity.
The humanitarian help has been tremendous. While there is no FEMA presence, private individuals, mainland businesses, and church organizations have embraced the island with food, materials, and labor.
When we are able to get back on the island, we will try to offer a picture of where things are now.
Thanks for all thoughts and prayers.
Any contributions should be directed to the Ocracoke Community Foundation, but I have no further information about that.
