Earthquakes and Hurricanes Oh My!

[etakyma]

Hello from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Which is on the Outer Banks. And is Under Threat of Hurricane Irene. We've had a marvelous time exploring this week - we've seen many little museums of maritime and native and wilderness history. We've seen lighthouses and points of interest (and the Wright Memorial from the road). We've flown kites, and dug sandcastles, and played in the ever-strengthening surf. We've had an earthquake (only one of us really felt it, though), and had a front seat to Guys Moving A House Down the Road And Tying Up Traffic in Both Directions.

And now Irene is making the end of our week together a little more exciting. So we're leaving the Outer Banks a wee bit early (currently under mandatory evacuation order as of 8am today, but our plans are to leave tomorrow morning bright and early). We're watching the path of Irene pretty closely, so no worries there, and tomorrow we should be safe enough inland, ready to journey further north on our respective paths on Saturday, well ahead of Irene. Although I expect she'll chase us all the way home.

Hopefully Dulles is still operating on Saturday and the one of us who needs to fly out will be able to.

Hunker down, everyone on the East Coast. Batten down the hatches. This looks to be a big one!

At least you're only in KH - that's a four lane, but it does back up so I'd keep an eye on it. Wave as you pass by me in Chesapeake ;)

I am SO not looking forward to this thing.
