Outer Banks residents weather the storm

The November Nor'easter was felt throughout the Outer Banks.

"What I'm seeing is just beautiful," said Kill Devil Hills resident Ken Evans. "It's gorgeous, it's dangerous."

Because of the wind and big waves, the beach could no longer serve as a boundary for the ocean; water flowed into the streets.

Dare County officials tell WAVY.com the worst flooding is along Highway 12, which remains closed in two spots, both on Hatters Island and in Duck.

Police Officers blocked of the roads, anywhere you tried to drive you were sure to run into high water.

"It's a big storm, but we're just trying to survive and trying to get trough it," said Outer Banks resident Justin Grizzard.

Curious sight seekers snapped pictures of the flying sea foam. Locals say it's not the worst storm they've seen, but when you live down here storms like this are par for the course.

"That's why we live here," added Ward. "You got to like it to live on the Outer Banks."
