Information from the surveys allows scientists to discern the degree of changes to beaches and coastal environments and to determine how much the land has eroded and where new inlets have cut through. Airborne lidar is a remote-sensing tool attached to an aircraft that uses laser pulses to collect highly detailed ground-elevation data. Three days after the landfall of Hurricane Irene, USGS scientists acquired detailed information about coastal change through aerial photography and an airborne lidar (light detection and ranging) survey conducted with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "Such multiple breaches, or new inlets, cut through the Outer Banks could take weeks to months to close on their own," said USGS oceanographer Asbury (Abby) Sallenger, "and without intervention like pumping sand, some could even persist indefinitely, depending on the channel's cross section and the volume of water flushed through it on every tide." A total of five breaches were cut through the coastal landscape between Cape Hatteras and Oregon Inlet. Sections of Rodanthe (location 4 on map) and Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (location 5) were exposed to storm surge from Pamlico Sound of about 6 ft, which contributed to carving of channels through the island that breached a state highway in several places. The east-facing coast, from Cape Hatteras to Oregon Inlet, also was exposed to waves and surge from the ocean, but surge was higher in the sound. Flow from the sound to the ocean may have played a role in cutting the breaches between Oregon Inlet and Cape Hatteras. The storm surge was approximately 2 m high on the soundside and less on the oceanside. A breach was carved through the barrier island, severing North Carolina Highway 12.

Flooding by storm surge in these areas was minimal, however, as surge crested above dunes only in limited places.
Photographs of Ocracoke Island (location 2 on map) show large volumes of sand removed from the beach system and deposited over roads and grass marshes. The southeast-facing coast, from Cape Lookout to Cape Hatteras, was exposed to waves and surge from the ocean. Because of the right-angle shape of the Outer Banks, barrier islands facing southeast underwent different coastal changes than those facing east. Hurricane Irene made direct landfall near Cape Lookout on August 27, 2011. Geological Survey (USGS) and posted online, features five photo pairs that show coastal change in areas from Cape Lookout to Oregon Inlet.

Until then, fans can piece together clues from its previous seasons, watch the cast's new projects, and prepare themselves for what will surely be an emotional season 3.North Carolina's Outer Banks, showing track of Hurricane Irene.īy Matthew Cimitile, Abby Sallenger, Hilary Stockdon, Karen Morgan, and Dennis Krohn, USGSĪ series of before-and-after aerial photographs of North Carolina's Outer Banks shows the impact of Hurricane Irene on the coastline, highlighting several breaches that severed a state highway and moved large volumes of sand inland. By this timeline, the next season of Outer Banks may not appear on Netflix until late 2022 or early 2023.
Outer Banks' second season began shooting in late 2020 and concluded three months before its July 2021 release.
