Topsail Island Vacation Rentals in Surf City and Topsail Beach, North Carolina

Storm Information as of Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 4 PM:

Currently, the National Weather Service has indicated that Hurricane Earl will pass just east of the North Carolina coast late this afternoon into early Friday morning. Earl has finally started the much-anticipated turn to the north, sparing southeastern North Carolina from a direct landfall. Given the size of this storm, we may still see winds and rain increase this afternoon and continue through early Friday morning. The closest approach to our area will be around 9 PM tonight. By 2 AM, the storm is expected to be pulling away from our area.

During the evening and overnight hours, winds in our coastal areas are expected to be NE 25-35 mph sustained with isolated gusts over 50 mph possible. Rainfall is expected to be no more than 1.5 inches in most coastal areas. Storm surge is still expected to be minimal though beach erosion during high tide is possible with wave heights of 8-14 feet forecast for our beaches. People at the beach are urged to stay out of the water through Friday due to the high risk of rip currents.

Tenants currently staying at vacation homes are urged to secure outdoor trash carts and outdoor furniture. Tenant reservation arrivals are on schedule as previously arranged at this time. Please keep yourself informed by monitoring the National Hurricane Center website, www.nhc.noaa.gov, and our local TV stations, www.wwaytv3.com and www.wect.com, for updated information today and tomorrow.
