Not sure how far down in the Outer Banks but last a contract accidentally cut a power cable going into some parts of OBX causing a mandatory evacuation of 20,000 people. Last I heard it was going to take a few weeks to get power back.

Corolla is safe! The outage affects Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, which are south of the Oregon Inlet. I was sweating that one out too, since I'll be going to OBX at the end of August.
