Some joked that the neighborhood of Dolphin Point and others nearby were now an island. (Photo: Paul Olson)A boat, usually resting lower in its Green’s Creek slip, rises with the severe wind tide. Rosemary Conley says the water has gone up in her Teach’s Cove yard Monday afternoon.Perhaps the most narrow isthmus in Pamlico County is between Dawsons Creek and the Neuse River. On Monday, Neuse River waters breached the rip rap which generally sits 4-5 feet above the water. The result: creation of a temporary island leading up to the Dawosn’s Creek Bridge.(Photo: Ben Casey)Oriental’s Dinghy Dock_(Photo: Candy Bohmert)_Just ahead, scenes from Sunday.
