Hurricane Irene closes coastal parks
August 26th, 2011In case we have to tell you, coastal parks are closed in anticipation of Hurricane Irene, including Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores, the five National Wildlife Refuges, all day use sites and campgrounds in the Croatan National Forest, and campgrounds at the eight state parks in the coastal region.
State parks remained open for day use as of Wednesday (when the news release was, umm, released) but were to close on short notice as conditions warranted.
Here's where to get National Weather Service watches, warnings or advisories for North Carolina.
