Hurricane Sandy

As you should already know, Hurricane Sandy will be off our coast in the next day.

The current weather models show her moving up the coast to Virginia and then making a turn inland. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/180855.shtml?5-daynl#contents It looks like the outer banks for North Carolina will get heavy rain and some sustained wind gusts.

With this being said, there are currently no plans to activate at this time. We should all be prepared should the need arise.

I will be sending out updates throughout the weekend as the situation develops.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly.

Thanks!
