An eerie wind howled across The Atlantic Ocean in the evening of Friday, August 26, 2011. It buffered the shore, sending a haunting warning to all who remained in the islands along the North Carolina coast.

Caroline should have left that morning, but after loading all of Suzie’s important things into their van, they realized the vehicle wouldn’t start.

A stinging wind whipped over Ben’s skin as he lay beneath their car, trying to figure out why the vehicle was dead. He had checked the battery, the engine and anything else he could think of, for issues. Both local mechanics had left town because of the looming hurricane and he began to think Caroline, Eva and Suzie would have to ‘wait it out’ with he and Mason. That, or he could always let them use his Jeep.

Ben moved himself out from underneath the car. The sky in the distance was hauntingly dark. I haven’t seen a gull for hours, he thought, clicking on a handheld radio nearby.

“Irene is steadily approaching North Carolina’s coast, and should hit as a level 1 or 2 hurricane,” the announcer warned. “All residents are advised to leave the coast, if they have not yet done so. Irene should hit during the night or during the day tomorrow. The coastguard will…”

Ben clicked off the radio and kicked the van’s tire. He’d call Joe. Maybe he could figure it out.
