hat happened at the marinas in and near Oriental during Hurricane Irene? TownDock.net went out to visit seven area marinas to hear their stories and bring back photos.

Irene brought 90+ mph winds and a huge surge to contend with. That surge was measured at 9.5 feet at TownDock.net Oriental location, but that number will vary by location. For example, at Pecan Grove they estimated the surge at 11 feet.

Following is a page on each marina, and how they weathered the storm:

• Oriental Harbor Marina

• Pecan Grove Marina

• River Dunes

• Sailcraft Marina

• Sea Harbour Yacht Club

• Whittaker Creek Marina

• Whittaker Pointe
