There’s been a whole lot of cleaning up happening over the last week since Hurricane Sandy showed her face. Oceanfront and near oceanfront homes in Kitty Hawk are still recovering and cleaning up the mess that was mostly caused by the ocean over-wash and high surf tides. The northern parts of highway 12 (the beach road) in Kitty Hawk are still blocked to traffic but seem to be clearing up slowly as the cleanup continues.

On a more positive note, the weather couldn’t be more beautiful today! The temperatures were in the low 40′s last night and they’re now in the low 60′s. The sun is shining bright and it feels like an early Fall day. The low tonight is 44 degrees.

There are reports of Puppy Drum being caught this morning from the piers. Other than that, there isn’t much else besides enjoying this November day on the beach!

Kitty Hawk Pier, Nov. 10, 2012

There’s a small wave just on the south side of the Kitty Hawk Pier. The waves are knee to thigh high with an occasional waist high wave. Conditions are semi glassy becoming less this afternoon.
