Our foundation Pres lives in OI and it took a real beating
Report:
This from a night shift firefighter on the island:
"The damage done on the island by this cat 1 hurricane is incredible. It hit well above it's weight class, aided by a near direct hit on Oak Island, at high tide, with a full moon. I just spent all night working with the fire department, helping to evacuate many homes around a major house fire in several feet of water, searching cars and trucks that have floated from God knows where, and a few other tasks. There are roads missing, strong currents flowing down streets, overturned cars and trucks everywhere, houses that collapsed, trees down all over, dunes that failed, and it's basically a mess. I encourage you all to sit tight and don't rush out this morning to see the damage. Let the water receed and allow first responders, road crews, etc. to do their jobs without adding to their workload saving your butt."
