My post was purely about the tropical nature of this system vs the Nor Easter a couple weeks ago and the hype surrounding naming that one when it was clearly non-tropical. My post had no mention of land impacts, though both systems have been damaging. Currently Hatteras Island remains in a state of emergency with all land access cut off and emergency ferry service the only option on or off the island. Also, before the system was named, it was a significant high wind event on the OBX with many gusts 50-60 mph recorded during a multi-day stretch.
