That was why I pulled out late monday night. I heard the forecast saw all the rain on the point and decided I would go. glad I did, it was rough getting up through rodanthe. I hate to cut a trip alittle short, but being stuck down there in that kinda weather isnt any fun either.

was there ocean water or sand on the roadway?? The last coastal storm put feet of sand on the roadway

no sand when I went through just lots and lots of water....... But I knew there would be sand ocean overwash later on and I couldnt get stuck there, I had to be back to work.

I was able to get off the island on tuesday around 1pm. Sand was on the roads in places. No real amount of water on the roads yet when I left. Sounds like I got out just in time. The weather monday night was a downpour and lots of wind. The beach emptied quickly and I soon found myself fishing alone, but it was sure well worth sticking it out as long as I could .

that area around rodanthe has been a problem for years now. Any decent easterly blow will put water on the roadway, and can get pretty deep at times
