The Outer Banks certainly experienced its fair share of April showers and typical area winds last month. Warmer and beach- friendly weather is sure to follow for May. The Dare County preliminary flood maps are finally being released on June 30th. Along with Currituck County’s maps they will still face final approval prior to becoming […]
