Here on the blog, we will try to post additional spot reports and other notes that are not normally included in the advisories. We have a lot of people from the Carolinas that read this material.
(Also, scan down for earlier posts including the map and video discussion from James)
* Oak Island, N.C., has accumulated over 9 inches of rain so far from Ophelia.
* Based on a radar check from Wilmington Doppler Radar at 9:30 am CDT, Ophelia appears to be moving a bit more northward...but the NHC pointed out that she would have erratic movements. The outer edge of the eye is very near the SE North Carolina Coast and some of the stronger feeder bands are swirling onshore especially near Wilmington.

Norfolk...partly sunny, wind SE 9, gusts 18
Virginia Beach...partly sunny, wind east 15
