Paradise Shores is near where the Pamlico Sound enters Broad Creek. The properties there took the full brunt of the storm. The sides of this building are no more…. .

… and its roof was pushed by wind and water toward the property next door.

The runaway roof was stopped by two pine trees, one of which is shown here. Jill Bright says those trees likely saved her in-law’s vacation home from being pushed aside by that roof. Her in-laws home did flood, however, as did many in the Paradise Shores area.

While marl was hurled on to the lawn, pieces of denser granite stayed in the rip-rap.

DL White says the living area of his home in Paradise Shores got thru okay but the water got high underneath. In the years since Hurricane Isabel put 42 inches of water under his home, DL says he often commented that it could never get higher. Then he says, Irene brought 48 inches. Asked if he thought this was the highest it would ever get, he said, “This time I“m not saying anything.”
