OMG:
For the second day in a row, NC 12 is flooded by ocean overwash.
Friday, Dare County officials closed the roadway at the Oregon Inlet bridge from just south of the bridge to Rodanthe. ...
The National Weather Services says the strong low pressure drifting east well off the Mid-Atlantic coast is expected to create nearshore seas between eight and 10 feet Friday night.
Tides also were expected to be a foot or so above normal, creating conditions for overwash and beach erision in flood-prone locations.

There are no houses along that portion of the road, but this is the only road to Hatteras and Ocracoke. The proposed gazillion dollar bridge or a ferry might be a better way to manage this thin little bit of island.
