Well the winds have been turned on in Cape Hatteras the last few days. This has provided us with great surf and very interesting weather. It blew dead East at 40 all day yesterday causing flooding over Hwy. 12. As the first massive front came over it brought along an amazing lightning display, which we watched for a few hours. These are a couple photos from the last few days.
This is Hwy 12 on the way down to work in the morning.
This is a view looking south from the Cape Hatteras 1st Jetty at a breaking wave.
With it blowing 40 knots all day your bound to have some interesting looking skies. This is my first attempt at a panorama. The left side of the photo is The Slick Island. Please view this image as large as possible.
This is a shot at the lighthouse where people were going to watch the surfers battle the heavy waves. The sand pelted your skin but it was well worth it.
This is Bonner Bridge. This bridge links Nags Head to the Cape Hatteras Islands.

This last shot is of a rather large wave about to break at the 1st Jetty. Its a pretty heavy wave with a pretty thick lip even with the 40 knots of wind.
