Hurricane Ophelia Hits North Carolina

Kristen Gelinaeu has the story for the AP:

Hurricane Ophelia picked up strength as it closed in on North Carolina on Wednesday, soaking the region with a half-foot of rain, washing away a barrier island street and causing power outages.

The storm had sustained wind of 80 mph Wednesday morning, up from 75 mph a few hours earlier, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane warnings were shifted northward, covering the entire North Carolina coast from the South Carolina line to Virginia, where a tropical storm warning covered the mouth of Chesapeake Bay.
Though Ophelia is less powerful than Katrina was, I certainly hope that residents still take its threat seriously and are able to stay out of harm's way.
