OBX - November Nor'Easter - 3PM Videos

A Few updated Videos from Kitty Hawk & Nags Head.

First 2 are from just south of Kitty Hawk Pier, Overwash was already happening.  2nd video you will see where Mother Ocean tried to take me out!

Next video was shot at the oceanfront right around the Outer Banks Mall.

That's it for today, don't really feel like being out and about when it gets dark.  I will post updated videos tomorrow morning.

Stay safe,

Matt

OBX - November Nor'Easter - Thursday Morning Videos.

Got out of the house this morning about 9AM.  Drove down to Nags Head Pier and worked my way North and took videos from each of the piers.  From what I could tell it seemed like the wind was blowing the hardest at the Kitty Hawk Pier.

First Video is Nags Head Pier around 9:15AM

2nd Video - Avalon Pier around 9:30AM

3rd Videos are of Kitty Hawk Pier.  Wind & Rain was the strongest in this area, as you can tell from the 2nd Video as you couldn't even hear me trying to date the video.

Final Videos for now are from my Drive down to Nags Head Pier around 8:30 Thursday Morning.  Video is taken on the Highway 158 a little south of 7-11 in Kitty Hawk.  This one has a little Sugarland playing in the background, sorry if you are not a country music fan.

I am going to head back at probably around 2PM and taken some updated videos so please check back at that time.  If there is a specific video or picture you would like taken please let me know & I will do my best to get it for you.

Thanks again,

Matt

Storm Headed Our Way

Per the Weather Channel, WavyTV10 and every other weather station in the US, it looks like we are in for a pretty bad 3 day Nor'Easter that hits the area today.  This storm is a mix of what was tropical storm IDA, an offshore low and a few other weather features.

Looks like we are in for possible 15-25 foot seas and winds up to 50mph.  As the storm gets stronger I am planning on heading over to Kitty Hawk Pier to take a few pictures which I will post later.

So in the meantime, everyone stay dry & safe.

Local Election Results!

A Very Big Congratulations to the 2 Big Winners!

• New Mayor of Southern Shores - Hal Denny
• New Mayor of Nags Head - Bob Oakes

Final but unoffical tallies for the Southern Shores election are....

Denny - 809

Smith - 352

Looks like the homeowners of Southern Shores were looking for a change as they voted 2-1 in favor of new Mayor-Elect Hal Denny.  Along with the election of Hal Denny came the first time ever a Write-In Canidate upset an incumbent town council member.  In a much closer vote Southern Shores resident George Kowalski upset Councilmen McDonald.

Kowalski - 520

McDonald - 492!

Also, as stated above a huge congratulations to Mayor-Elect Oakes in Nags Head.  Oakes won the election over longtime Nags Head Mayor Renee Cahoon!  

The below results are final but unofficial. 

Oakes - 423

Cahoon - 367

Congratulations to the voters of Southern Shores & Nags Head for coming out and having your voices heard!

Mid Currituck Bridge Update!

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Just found this on WRAL.com & I know this is very important to many of you.  Please see the link below or I have copy and pasted the article into this post.

N.C. nears deal for toll bridge to northern OBX :: WRAL.com.

COROLLA, N.C. — State officials and environmentalists are nearing a deal to build a 5-mile bridge to link the northern Outer Banks with the mainland.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported Monday that the $650 million toll bridge would stretch over the Currituck Sound to Corolla, known for its lighthouse and wild horses. Projected tolls on the Mid-Currituck Bridge would be $10 to $15 for a one-way trip. The bridge is expected to generate $7 million in its first year.

The bridge would be aimed at relieving logjams for summer tourists on U.S. Highway 158 and N.C. Highway 12. For those traveling from the north, getting to Corolla requires going south almost to Kitty Hawk, a U-turn that can add up to an hour to the trip.

An environmental impact statement on the bridge is expected by the end of the year. Construction is scheduled to begin in February and be finished in 2013.

In April, the state Turnpike Authority entered an agreement with Spanish firms ACS Infrastructure Development and Dragados USA to determine if the project is financially feasible and possibly become investors for it.

Outer Banks Homebuilders Association - Parade of Homes 2009

It's that time of year once again for the Outer Banks Homebuilders Association Parade of Homes 2009, which will take place from October 8 - 11.  Below you will find details on the Parade of Homes taken directly from the website.  

http://www.obhomebuilders.org/obhba-parade-of-homes-2009.html

Opening on Thursday, October 8, with 29 homes spanning Corolla on the Currituck Banks to the laid back atmosphere of the towns on Hatteras Island, the Outer Banks Home Builders Association’s 17th Annual Parade of Homes promises a fresh perspective on newly constructed coastal homes. This year’s sampling of homes has incorporated new designs, technologies, green building methods and new product innovations and furnishings.  It is your best opportunity to walk through and study all 29 of our showcase homes covering 121 miles of our beautiful coastline while enjoying the relative calm of the off season and the stellar weather fall brings to our shores.

The participating builders and associate members of the Outer Banks Home Builders Association hope you will join us for this annual Parade. And our tour is your tour – to be taken on your own timetable Thursday, October 8 through Sunday, October 11. All Parade homes are open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. all four days of the tour. These homes are each a unique interpretation of life at the beach – be it design of the home, themed décor, location or purpose– with tremendous diversity among the offerings.

For four days only you can personally experience homes that qualify as year-round starter homes to those with all of the comforts and amenities of a five-star resort! Live there, visit there, collect rents from those who do - whatever your need, one of these 29 homes is sure to fill it! In many cases, the “extras” of recent years have been toned down and replaced with a new emphasis on efficiency and function, with the incorporation of green products and “best building practices.” The “must haves” – elevators, media rooms, home theaters, game rooms, and pools and spas are still found in vacation homes.

The participating builder members, their staff members and vendors will be in the homes each day until 6 p.m. Your $10.00 ticket may be purchased in advance at the OBHBA office, at any of the homes or at select ticket outlets. Your ticket is valid for all four days of the event and ticket proceeds will go to support the Outer Banks Food Pantry.  Preview the entire Parade at our website www.obhomebuilders.org or you may call the Outer Banks Home Builders Association at 252-449-8232.

For a full list of homes please use the following link - http://www.obhomebuilders.org/the-homes.html

As always there are a few homes that I am really looking forward to seeing but or now I will keep that information to myself.  Please feel free to leave your comments and what homes you are excited about checking out.

So come on down & checkout some of the beauitful homes built by local OBX Builders.  If you need a place to stay that won't be a problem as I know Village Realty is currently running some partial stays for the weekend.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Matt
