blueheronNC Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 We've arrived in Morehead City. Interestingly enough, it just started to rain. Irene's welcome. If El's Drive In right there in Morehead City on the main drag is still open, make sure to pick yourself up a shrimp burger. Simple sandwich with ketchup and lettuce and piled high with shrimp. The stuff of legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Josh, can you give me the name of the hotel? Jason and I are considering getting a room for the night so we don't have to spend 48 hours in the car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneJosh Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hey, guys! Thanks so much for the maps and inputs and stuff-- it's really helpful! Some quick update: * Of course I'm pissed at Irene's structural issues and I'm hoping it shapes up a bit. * I was delighted by the W wobble. Assuming it straightens out now-- which I think it is-- it looks like we have a good shot at getting right in the center. Awesome. * We popped over the bridge into Beaufort-- a town that's a little further E, a little more exposed, a little lower in elevation, and way more picturesque than Morehead City. We found a quiet little inn tucked away at the end of a tree-lined street, and in a quick negotiation, we paid the owner cash to have a second-story room with a balcony facing the Sound, as well as access to the rooftop. It's pretty awesome, and I think this is where we're going to station ourselves overnight and tomorrow as the cyclone pulls ashore. (Yes, we're paying for two rooms at once-- oh well.)

ORH_wxman Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wow, sounds like you got a sweet setup there Josh. Hopefully the storm is solid on the NW side or the center actually tracks over you. I was getting nervous for just a scrape, but it looks like we saved enough W job this morning to feel better about a solid hit in E NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneJosh Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Intense rain band just moved through Morehead City: torrential rains, gusty winds, and ragged, fast-moving low clouds. The rain thundered on the roof of the Walmart as we got some last-minute supplies. The gas station canopy whistled in the wind as we topped off our tank.
