- 09/07/08 02:14 AM
Well, mother nature was good to us this time. We bunkered down and prepared for a lot of rain and high winds. What did we get? Barely any rain and some pretty strong winds but not enough to do any real damage. I live 10 minutes from topsail island and only had leaves, limbs down in my yard and really a happy camper when i awoke at 6 am to see everything still in tack. Some were not so fortunate in NC as up to 9 inches of rain fell leaving flooded roads and over flowing ponds and lakes. There was … (1 comments)

topsail: Continued topsail turtle project nesting
- 08/08/08 07:35 AM
When a turtle hatches, lets say decades ago, weighing in at only an ounce, they have a 1 in 5,000-10,000 chance of becoming an adult. Secondly, return to the very beach they were born in. Appear to be guided by the earth's fields, and somehow the GPS switch is turned on as they make their way from the nest to the ocean.
