Beach House Marina, Surf City, NC: Boy, what a storm. We had thunder, lightning, and tornado warning throughout the whole state. Luckily we just had tornado warnings and we did not have a tornado touch down by us. We did; however, have 60+ mph winds but we were tied up in a very secure marina. We feel real lucky because several city's/town's were devastated. After it was all over and the storms went out to the Atlantic everything was quiet by us. The sky over the ocean was like the biggest 4th of July celebration ever; multiple lightning strikes at a time lit up the sky for miles in all directions. Amazing how something so devastating could also be so beautiful.

CO's comments: When we left the marina, Marker G71 that was supposed to be on the south side of the bridge was now on the north side of the bridge and in the middle of the marina channel. We reported it to the Coast Guard. Lucky for us, the big storm split just before it got to Surf City. Part went north and the other part went just south of us.
