While I absolutely love the outerbanks I don't think I'd live there. They do get hammered from time to time by the canes. I was there 2 weeks before Isabelle hit several years ago. The cottages we stayed in along with the local watering hole right across the street got completely wiped out. Not far down the highway the storm tore a new inlet dubbed "Isabelle Inlet" from ocean to sound. Big enough for pretty good sized boats to pass through.....before they filled it back in, which was an amazing feat of engineering IMO.
