Well when we headed down for a week this past May the forecast looked dismal but we ended up with a gorgeous week. Sun every dayThe general rule of thumb on the banks is wait an hour and the forecast will change.Hope you have a great time no matter what each day brings weather wise.
If it rains for 10 minutes in a 24-hour period the weatherman claims he was right. And he was. If it rains 10 minutes out of every hour it "rained all day", but it didn't.We will be down the 10th to the 24th. I can't wait. My wife has already packed her suitcase and half the kitchen stuff.
Just upset we can't take out at Scotch Bonnet Marina any longer because of a buckled ramp. We'll have to take her to a Hatteras marina.

Always look at an OBX vacation as an experience regardless of the weather. Ask my daughter one of our top vacations ever was the week after Hurricane Sandy. Out OF rental was outer water. We left for the obx on Election Day I voted then left to travel. The crowds were something else in Elizabeth city after Obama won. We call that our haunted vacation and that is no lie. Obx in the offseason with a nor’easter after a hurricane weird stuff including a piece of a shipwreck the beach to ourselves with the dunes sliced in half where we ended up staying in nags head instead of of kitty hawk. Some people don’t believe but I swear that churning ocean stirred up the dead. Oh the stories I could tell about the ocean mist rolling in and stopping over our heads while we were in the hot tub and the lights went out one night up and down the coast. It was terrific! People generally pay to get scared. We got it all for free.

We're heading back down to Frisco early next week and may have to take the boat out just in case this weather thing starts coming up the east coast. We were planning this trip anyway with my sister in law, so it works out. Just upset we can't take out at Scotch Bonnet Marina any longer because of a buckled ramp. We'll have to take her to a Hatteras marina.

When it rains and storms at the beach, we go to Avon pier and drink one dollar PBRs and watch the surf.
And...we also love watching the wild storm over the sound.
When it rains and storms at the beach, we go to Avon pier and drink one dollar PBRs and watch the surf. That's off the chain Bent! You thrill seekers! And...we also love watching the wild storm over the sound. When we stayed down/across the street from you in May 2000 we rode out a nor-easter the first half of the week. It got a bit sporty out in the sound. As you know, the church at hwy 12 sits on a bit of a rise (about a foot, maybe 2). Everyone in BB moved their cars to the church.
As of this afternoon, I am predicting a 65% chance of seeing a Chef BF storm feast.
You have a potentially difficult situation, Bent
Bent, looks like you can wait until Tuesday to decide to stay or bug out by Wednesday. Enjoy the weekend. Tidy up and tie up as you go. No rush.
