Currituck County’s Ongoing Storm Water Management Efforts
Currituck County is staying proactive with their storm water management, as they will continue storm water pumping operations in Corolla on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. This initiative aims to tackle the water accumulation that can lead to flooding and other water-related issues, especially during the unpredictable weather that often graces our coastal communities.
Where You Can Expect Activity
Pumping operations will be occurring at various locations throughout Corolla. If you happen to be in the area, it’s a good idea to use caution near **pumping equipment**. Residing near the beach, it’s common to enjoy the sand and surf, but the discharge water at all outfall locations is something you’ll want to keep your distance from. These efforts are designed to help protect our beautiful coastline and maintain the safety of residents and visitors alike.
Advisory for Beachgoers and Motorists
In light of these activities, it’s essential for beachgoers to be aware of their surroundings. Motorists should be particularly mindful of travel conditions on the 4-wheel drive beach. There’s a specific time frame when this area may become impassable: two hours before high tide until two hours after high tide. So be sure to check the tide information before you head out. You can find reliable tide info on the NOAA website, which can provide you with updated data to help plan your visit.
Keeping an Eye on Tropical Activity
Meanwhile, on the broader horizon of weather-related events, NOAA has begun to pay close attention to Tropical Storm Helene. While the storm may not directly impact our area, there’s always a possibility that parts of Eastern North Carolina could feel its effects. It’s crucial for everyone in the region to stay informed and prepared for any weather that may develop.
Political Sign Guidelines in Duck
Additionally, for those interested in local governance and community events, the Town of Duck has recently released new guidelines regarding political signs. As we move closer to the elections, these guidelines will help maintain the aesthetic and orderliness of the beautiful Duck area. It’s always exciting to see local communities engaging in the democratic process!
