Did you mean Hazel?

 

Yeah, Hazel.

 

Surf City is at a higher elevation (20') than Emerald Isle ('10), which is at a higher elevation than Topsail Beach ('7) or North Topsail Beach ('0). Topsail Island has greater variance than the Bogue Banks and most of it is low lying. If you look at NOAA's sea rise maps, the only part of Topsail Island that fares well is Surf City.

Regardless, I hope your property fared well yesterday.

 

Thanks. About my only real fear is storm surge blowing a hole right through the middle of the island. I really don't think that will happen in SC based on eyeball witnessing and what you just said.

 

Here's a before and after at North Topsail today.

 

This one makes me ill. It's the heart of Topsail Beach on the south end.

 

Wow. That flood is no joke.

 

Parody, perhaps of the Weather Channel stunt:

 

Island Delights is a traditional stop for my family.

Oddly enough, my neighbor is part of the architects building the bridge that will replace the swing.

 

is that close to the old timey put put place?

 

Repots regarding my building in Garden City SC say we never even list power. We had way more damage done from Matthew. Evac orders for the area lifted Sunday 9am. We are south of MB and north of Murrells Inlet.
