Evolution
and Impacts –
Despite being far out to sea, Sandy had a number of impacts on eastern
North Carolina. Ocracoke and Highway 12 on
Hatteras Island were flooded with up to 2 feet of water, closing part of
the highway, while 20 people on a fishing trip were stranded on Portsmouth
Island.
On October 29, the Coast Guard responded to a distress call from the
H.M.S. Bounty (Figure 5), which was built for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the
Bounty. It was taking on water about 90 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras.
Sixteen people were on board. The Coast Guard said the 16 people abandoned
ship and got into two lifeboats, wearing survival suits and life jackets.
The ship sank after the crew got off. As of mid-morning on October 29, the
Coast Guard rescued 14. Another crew member was found hours later but was
unresponsive and died later on. Only the captain remains missing. On
November 1, the Coast Guard suspended its search for Robin Walbridge, the
captain of the Bounty. The search lasted more than 90 hours, covering
approximately 12,000 square nautical miles in the Atlantic Ocean. As of
November 4, there were three Hurricane Sandy-related fatalities in North
Carolina.

Ocean during Hurricane Sandy approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras,
N.C., Monday, October 29, 2012.
