Evacuation Ordered For Storm Hit Outer Banks Island
Tourists on Ocracoke Island face evacuation as Hurricane Alex tears through the Outer Banks bringing 100 mph winds and widespread outages. Officials estimate 4 000 to 8 000 tourists need evacuation while 400 residents stay to assess damage and keep generators running. Authorities led by Gov Easley toured the island amid outages and debris as ferry access remains the only link to the mainland.
