A Gas-Powered Blog Post from Ocracoke...

Dear Friends,

Philip hooked up the generator with just enough gas for me to write my column and write a brief blog.

YEA...WE LIVED THROUGH HURRICANE ARTHUR!!

I must say it was quite a night, and a week in my life I will always remember. Everyone is fine here and the damage was minimal...trees and branches covering roadways and yards, and, of course, no power.

The power will be out for a few days, they say.

We do have cold running water, however, and we are very grateful for that.

I do not think there is enough gas for me to bother with photos, so that will come another time.

Lou Ann
