2 Outer Banks Locations Chosen in Top 10 North Carolina Natural Wonders

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
North Carolina's has an abundance of natural wonders.  Recently, a contest sponsored by Land for Tomorrow, an environmental coalition working to preserve the state's land and water resources, asked voters to nominate any landscape, natural feature, wildlife or plant life unique to NC that should be considered a natural wonder. 
Land for Tomorrow received over 3,000 votes and 200 nominations. A panel narrowed the 200 to 25, and voters determined the final 10.  Of the final 10 natural wonders chosen, two are on the Outer Banks.

No Texting While Driving in North Carolina
Beginning December 1, 2009, a new law banning drivers from texting while driving in North Carolina goes into effect.  Violators will be fined $100 for typing or reading text messages while driving a motor vehicle.  
North Carolina is not the first state to enact such a ban; 19 others and the District of Columbia have all outlawed texting while driving.
