The US National Weather Service Newport/Morehead City NC will be holding a community forum on hurricanes on Thursday, June 11th, starting at 1:30 PM in the Ocracoke Community Center, located at 999 Irvin Garrish Highway in Ocracoke.

These forums are free and open to all. You will have the chance to hear a presentation from a meteorologist with the National Weather Service on hurricanes and their impacts on Eastern North Carolina. We will go over why you should never focus on just the category of the storm, along with discussing all of the impacts any tropical cyclone can bring. We will cover the hurricane outlook for this season, while emphasizing that it only takes one storm to make an impact on your life! At the end, we will transition to a community discussion, and you can ask any questions you have.

If you have any problems signing up or have questions about the forum, please email Erik at [email protected]
