Though credited with causing $720 million in damage, coastal North Carolinians best remember the 1998 hurricane named “Bonnie” for the thousands of tires that washed ashore from artificial reefs during the storm. Hurricane Bonnie was a Category 3 hurricane that resulted in rainfall totals of 8 to 11 inches in portions of eastern North Carolina. Storm tides of 7 to 10 feet were observed on south facing beaches from Cape Lookout to Cape Fear, while a storm surge of 6 feet was reported in Pasquotank and Camden Counties along the Albemarle Sound. As we move through hurricane season, keep in mind the best time to assemble your emergency supply kit and plan is before a disaster. Ready NC recommends gathering the following items: One gallon of water per person per day Non-perishable foods (e.g., canned goods, granola bars, nuts, dried fruit, and cereal) Non-electric can opener First aid kit and medicines Baby supplies (toys, books, games) Pet food, water, leash, and carrier Extra pair of eyeglasses Flashlight Portable radio Extra batteries Cash and change Blanket or sleeping bag Extra set of house and car keys Anti-bacterial hand wipes or gel Change of clothes, sturdy shoes Fire extinguisher (ABC-type) Important papers (identification, insurance, banks information, will, etc.) Personal hygiene items (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, etc.) Cell phone and charger Image: Inmates assist with clean up following Hurricane Bonnie.

Fish Friday The Atlantic spadefish is a flat, spade-shaped silver-grey medium-sized fish. The spadefish can grow up to 36 inches long and weigh up to 20 pounds. Locally these fish are probably best known as the inspiration behind the NC Aquariums’ logo. The largest Atlantic spadefish caught in North Carolina weighed 11 pounds and 3 ounces. The fish was caught off Hatteras Village in 2009 by Steven C. Chadwick. ... See MoreSee Less
