What bad timing for local businesses and for tourists to North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
++ Arthur weakens to Category 1 storm after leaving thousands without power in North Carolina
People actually began leaving Wednesday and many sightseeing venues were closing then as well. Now there are widespread power outages and for many, a less than stellar holiday weekend.
The GOOD news:
++ Arthur moves on, leaves minor damage behind
So far, no lives have been lost, and while Arthur may have taken a shot at utility services, damage to beaches via erosion, etc., are minimal.
Sometimes these things are enough to celebrate.
Here is a NC link to photos of the beaches – after Arthur.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!
