N.C. Highway 12 runs along the Outer Banks, providing the key access route back to the mainland. But early Thursday, the state Higway Patrol closed a stretch just north of Oregon Inlet to all southbound traffic heading toward Cape Hatteras. Northbound traffic is still coming out, NBC's Terry Pickard reports, but that closure means no one can get back into Cape Hatteras for now.

I hope those who decide to ride out the storm, survive.
I spent part of my vacation on the Outer Banks this summer and have plans to go back this fall. It has survived many a hurricane; I hope Earl won't slap those good folks down there too hard. Those are hardy people in that part of the world. They know how to weather storms. Let's hope the evacuation proceeds in a safe and orderly fashion.
